Richards

[Blue Haze]

Arsenal looking for another right-back after Debuchy and are close to splashing out £10m on Callum Chambers from the Saints.

There is no demand for Richards at all. Newcastle, Arsenal, Liverpool, West Ham have all said no... will a team like Hull take a gamble on him on those wages.

Or will he be willing to take a pay cut for the sake of his career or will he demand a loan for the last year of his contract, depriving the club that has made him a millionaire of a transfer fee (and Oldham of a sell-on fee if that is still valid)?

Unfortunately, we all know what usually happens when our players leave for lower wages. Loan or payoff.

I'm surprised QPR haven't asked.

Chambers is done and Jenkinson is going out on loan

It must be about playing time for Richards because I'm sure he refused the extended contract we offered him

Sunderland spent £1.5M on Patrick Van Aanholt who has made just 8 appearances for Chelsea in 7 years with various loan spells now 23. Surely we can get more than 2-3M for Richards even with his past injuries.

Some of the posts in this thread are disgusting. He's a player who has always given 100% and given the majority of his life to this club and there's a total lack of respect from some of you.

I wish him the very best wherever he ends up.

Hi Micah, try not to head-butt the door on your way out ;)

I doubt PVA was on anything close to what Richards is on.

^^^you're right useless doesn't begin to describe him. Useless shouldn't be even mentioned when you're talking about him. Admittedly he hasn't made the expected progression but to call him useless shows a lack of knowledge of football or just general ignorance.

Really? Educate me.

Why he's not had more chances, and even more coaching to be a centre half I don't know. He can't cross a ball, goes to pieces in the box and isn't intelligent enough to do the overlapping. But he's strong quick and can leap like a salmon. Should have be a centre half all day long.

Too clumsy and suffers from lapses in concentration to play centre back. In his best spell under Mancini he was played at RB.

I will say this about City. They need to improve in the selling department .
I can see the likes of Richards , Sinclair Garcia and Rodwell still being with us at the end of August .
Come on City we need to sell these players now !!!!!!!!!!!!
