He's managed 6 starts and 3 sub appearances for Fiorentina this year. No thanks.
And Sinclair and Cleverly were setting off fireworks prior to coming? Point is, he is proven, young considering his experience and can do a job.
He's played 18 times in 3 years, he stayed at city chasing money and **** it up, rumours last summer he wanted £60k a week to sign for prem teams
His problem was he had piss poor defensive attributes but great physical attributes and when he should have been developing one in preparation for the other starting to deteriorate he wasn't playing football, his positioning will still be terrible but now he won't have the pace to cover for it
Not sure how he's proven either, everyone could see what he was, he got found out big time
This - Richards is a poor footballer with very limited ability and almost no brain. He's just an athlete and an expensive one at that.
