Richards

[117 M34]

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's not good if nobody is willing to pay more than 4m and we get stuck paying his wages for the next year for doing fuck all

If the figure of £72K is right thats 3.74M In wages next year I would take £3M in transfer fees + 3.74M saving and we have 6.75M for a player who in all probability will never play for us again

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%?

Didn't they waive the sell on fee?

I'd forgotten that Oldham get a cut, 20% according to Wiki.

No, I think City offered to buy it out pre-takeover when Micah was being talked about in the £15m bracket but Oldham refused.

That's an urban myth apparently. If Micah decides to sit out his contract it'll be hurting his old club Oldham more than City one could argue. Even £1m would be huge for them.

Few reports tonight that he's going to Newcastle for £4.2m. Rumour seems to have come from a City fan on Twitter. Hope it's true, especially reading reports we've 'wasted him' from barcodes.

I too like the stance. It forces the player's hand. 6-7 is a fair price if he cuts his wages. Puts the ball in the player's court. Do you want to play or do you want money. With so little deadwood left we can do this without much financial risk.

All well in principle but Micah has given good service over the years why pick on him? Let him go for a reasonable price.
