Richards

[baildon blue]

Rumours the Newcastle option could be off due to his wage demands!!! If true can see why his career has taken a nose dive, his priorities are all wrong - the modern footballer!! This is the same guy that refused to be on an England squad reserve list if my memory serves me correctly, he's contributed heavily to his own demise!!

He wants the money from us, but it's the last year of his contract now. I guess he'll stay and take the money then he'll have to take the chance that someone signs him up next summer, and I guess he'd get a signing on fee too. This is why City have a fee in mind, to cover his wages and pay him off.

Sad this is why his career is f*cked, priorities are all wrong. By the end of this season he'll probably be looking at the Championship at best.

Priories should be:

1) Get bulk off
2) Stay injury free
3) Get regular football somewhere else even if it means dropping wages
4) Get back in the England Squad

Instead his priorities are

1) Get as much money as possible even at expense of career
2) Celebrity - Appear in CityTV vids larking around and be active on social media
3) Look more like a body builder than a footballer

Only got himself to blame I'm afraid if his career his downhill from here onwards.....

Wouldn't disagree with any of that .
Looks like he wants to be the next Richard Pryor . Than play football .
Just wish he would go to another club now .

I think it is a bit hypocritical of City fans to moan to high heavens when some player throws a fit and attempt to leave, only to turn around and moan to high heavens when others don't want to leave because they don't want to take a pay cut. It was City management who deemed Micah deserving of whatever contract he has. And Micah should not feel a need to cut down his Pay simply because City got too good for him. He is not going to make the England team, so that is really not a motivator. And it's not like the National team is going anywhere currently. He should sit tight and make his well earned pay,

If we want him off the books then we have to sell him cheap. I would never willingly take a pay cut, so I'd never ask others to.

He got offered a new deal and he thought it wasn't good enough so he turned it down meaning we had to look for another right back

Micah needs to get his priorities in order.

If he plays regularly and shows even half his talent he walks back into the England team. He is still only in his mid twenties.

Nearly every poster on the forum was in a rage when we won the title the first time and no hopers like Glenn Johnson and Kyle Walker were chosen ahead of him.

If he wants to stay then fair dos...but his interview after the final game certainly sounded like he was ready to leave. Its his choice. He should make his mind up.

 

[uncle b]

He is not in the team because there are better players ahead of him, he should leave tho.

"He is not going to make the England team, so that is really not a motivator", but he would make the England team if he was motivated, surely that's (part) of his problem?
Besides his obvious injury problems if he wanted to he could be a top RB again but his heads not in the game. People like Milner work at it 100% to make the very best of his abilities, Micha doesn't.

 

[baildon blue]

Good point that about Milner .
Even when not in team Milner works .
Richards can`t say the same .
I was talking to somebody at Park Avenue and he defended Richards .
Nobody can defend the fact he as been no use to us the last 2 years .
And I blame that on him playing at the Olympics with an injury .

Pellegrini said 22 players is enough for him which is why a few are up for sale. On Micah: "He had a contract to renew, but didn't want it."

 

[the blue panther]

I feel sorry for the lad - I was one of his defenders when he had a lot of stick a couple of years back before he broke through again. I find it hard to accept that he's going backwards due to lack of effort. The fact is that, if you can't stay fit and at the top of your game, you go backwards, especially when the rest of the team/squad is improving and going forward as we have done.
We've improved enormously in the last 3 years and Micah hasn't been able to keep up, so, it's time he moved on with our grateful thanks for some memorable moments - especially his post match interview at Villa Park in his early days.
Good luck to him wherever he finishes up.
