Richards

[aguero93:20]

If we're talking 'right-backs that I would have in my squad before RIchards', then:

Zabaleta
Sagna
Azpilicueta
Ivanovic
Debuchy
Walker
Yedlin
Isla
Johnson
Clyne
Coleman
Also, probably Jenkinson, Kelly, Chambers, Janmaat and the little shit that is Rafael.

When fit, He's better than Johnson, Yedlin, Jenkinson, Kelly, Rafael and Clyne.

I assume this opinion is based on his performances 3 years ago

?

Betting suspended on Micah to Sunderland....I thought I read the deal was not likely to happen ?

Barcodes for £4.2m according to this,

That'll do well

I've had money on him going there at 8/1

Well when he's been fit and played the last few seasons he's been fucking awful so I'm guessing he has blanked this out and is going off where Micah was at 3 years ago....

Fair enough, but I don't think he's been fully fit since the Olympics.

What is it 12 years service at the club, remember him scoring that equaliser against Villa, doesn't seem like yesterday. When he was fit he was an absolute gem of a player. I really do wish him well and I hope he can regain the form that had him in Englands team, a new start maybe, what he really needs and maybe having a few ex city players at Sunderland will make it home from home. My only regret is that there were signs a couple of seasons back he could have gone on and finished his career at City as one of our own. Unfortunately whether through injury or otherwise it hasn't worked out for him but that should not detract from the service he has given our club and the knockers on here need to give their heads a wobble. I simply wish him well he will be missed by me anyway.

At some stage we did offer him a new contract and he wasn't interested, so he has to go. He is considerably bulkier than those early days and he's lost half a yard of pace as well. I wish him well but he isn't a good enough footballer to live at the level we are now!!

Need a football brain to play in this team. That's why Richards, and to some extent Lescott, were not going to work in this back four. Can't play "hot potato" with the ball, or lack the basic technical ability to play with the ball pinging around, to play at the top level....and that is where we are and where we are going. Nothing less can be tolerated.

Look around the top teams in Europe and tell me who has a player anything close to Richards level of technical ability......still looking? I'll help..NO-ONE!!

From the media this morning seems he's on his way to Sunderland.

Several clubs have asked about Micah Richards. The problem is the fee. #MCFC want around £6-7m and that's putting off potential buyers.

Oh, Txiki........your swindler. HAha

IMO this is good, we have shown that we are not a charity in terms of selling players anymore. Maybe we have to lower the price a bit at the end but still point stands. Even £5m would be good price for him.

It doesn't seem like a lot, but unlike most ignorant fans of rival clubs who just think we're "wasting" him, each club will have experts who will be fully aware of his ridiculously poor injury record... and the fact he hasn't actually been any good at all in any of his appearances in the past year.

Still think we'll get a buyer, might have to lower the price or make it an add-on based deal. Oldham's cut is 20%?
