Richards

[TrueBlue1705]

If Clichy and Kolarov are fit I don't see Richards getting a look in for the Community Shield ... Clichy did a good job a RB in pre-season and the times when I saw Richards come on for him in was a stark contrast in how much worse we looked down that side defensively and offensively ..... Clichy's crosses were decent with his right foot as well ... I ready stuff in the past saying he was predominantly right-footed when he was younger I dunno if there's any truth in it but it's really useful for the squad that he can play on either side and I think people underrate him, he came in for some stick last season but had a lot of niggly injuries ...

Yeah i read the same thing about Clichy. He was right footed as a kid but his dad made him use his left all the time because there were much less left footed players so he had more chance of making it. Not a bad shout really from Clichy Sr.

Telegraph: Sunderland are interested in adding Micah Richards (26) to their group of former Blues, with City asking £5m for the right-back.

Thats sounds about right and the best of luck to him.

Has to agree to a wage cut though - will he?

Poyet said earlier that Sunderland are "very, very close" to a new signing. Many Mackems figured he meant Zuculini on loan.

That would mean they would have taken Pantilimon (he was on a free, though), Rodwell, Richards and Zuculini (loan) from us this summer.

If we can be a bit cheeky but couldn't we throw sinclair in there for another 5m.

 

[pudge]

If Wickham goes for £8m they can have Richards and Sinclair

 

[Daz_Blue]

Zucculini gone on loan or just a rumour ?

If we can be a bit cheeky but couldn't we throw sinclair in there and we'll forget about the 5m.
