Micah Richards

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

Micah is good enough. just needs to get back to full fitness and confidence. Doesnt help with you lot getting on his back. Support the lad, he is a blue.

If you believe he's good enough then all power to you....

Personally I don't and he never will be, not in a 'football playing' 'ball to feet' team, touch is everything at the highest level, unfortunately the style we play exposes it ten fold when it isn't up to scratch, when you have 2/3 in that same team you have problems....

He's also wanted out for over 18 month, he's merely ran his contract down to a position of power!

This information came from the club did it.

And you are???

Listen our hero(s) move on in life, if you can't separate fact from fiction then oh well, he's been content to turn down offers over that period on the strength he gains from being in the last year of his contract, I don't need the club to confirm something I know as fact.......

You know fuck all

Some were saying the same shit about Micah years ago but they soon shut up during the title winning year when he was superb. Fit and on form he is a better attacking RB than Zabaleta

Any idea why?

 

[johnny on the spot]

When he moves on, what are the chances we'll get panned in the media for 'ruining' an English academy product by not playing him?

 

[AshtonBlueMooner]

Micah is fit now, perhaps not match fit due to lack of games. This isn't the issue, the issue now appears to be his confidence, he doesn't seem to know when to overlap, when to stay or when to come inside. This creates problems for other players as he either leaves us short at the back, takes up other players space or doesn't give us an outlet when he should do. I know a lot of this may come back with game time but he might not get that luxury. I can easily see us cashing in and trying to bring in a right back who consistently performs, Alves for example. It would be a shame as Micah is home grown, to a certain extent, but I don't think MP is particularly worried about loyalty to those who was here before he arrived. However he is seemingly fiercely loyal to those he brings in, Demichelis, but that's another thread.

Whatever anyone thinks of Micah, he definitely shouoldn't be on the pitch at the same time as Navas. It's been obvious on every occasion yet every time Micah plays he seems to have Navas in front of him.

 

[Vino9]

If you look at games before when Micah has played with Navas, not sure if he doesn't know when to overlap. It seems more that he doesn't want to take his space. Because when Milner went outside he bombed forward at every opportunity .

It looked promising in the Milan friendly.

TBF, it took a while for Zaba to get to grips with how to play with Navas as well. We haven't had a right footed right winger since SWP

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

The biggest liability at the club, both on and off the pitch.

Oldham have a 20 per cent sell-on clause and we will end up with peanuts this summer.

His game now consists of swallow dives, feigning injury to help him get his breath back, ambling back, standing ten yards from his man, running into Navas' space, overrunning the ball into touch at an crossing attempt, and not knowing who to throw the ball to.

Apart from that he's supposedly good enough to be an understudy to the best right back in the entire league.

And we aint had a left winger (of any note) since Petrov.
