AshVilla Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 If we have signed him as a RB and he can stay fit then i think it would be an ok signing But if we bought him to play CB i think were in trouble Replacing Vlaar with this guy will not be enough and we will be weaker than last season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Really good first signing under Sherwood. Happy with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 65k a week for a player sat on on the treatment table Sigh we just got rid of Bent's wages and then we sign this guy do we ever learn I'm viewing as 65k is nothing for our new owners... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Happy if he's over his injury problems. If the wages are correct then it's a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 New owners must have given this the OK, IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic_bouma Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Just to clarify, again, he was born in Brum, but raised in Leeds. An Arsenal fan as a kid, as far as I know. Yeh sounds about right. Funnily enough he went to Wetherby high school just down the road from me where my son will go. Well in about 10 years time he will coz he's still in nappies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enda Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Better than Habib Beye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 if he's starting at centre back then it's crazy. Clark and Okore are better there and I think I'd even trust Baker ahead of him. He's played occasionally in Italy after suffering injury issues. It's potentially a good signing but equally also a dud and another expensive contract to have to shoulder.

useless Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 My premonition that Sherwood would mostly go for English talent is looking like coming true. As long as he stays fit he should be a good signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supervillan78 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 IMO £65K in the Mirror = £45K in reality? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted June 11, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted June 11, 2015 My premonition that Sherwood would mostly go for English talent is looking like coming true. As long as he stays fit he should be a good signing. Why? Because of one signing? Suppose he's got a 100% English ratio.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mightysasquatch Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) People are looking way to much into Richards potential signing as movement towards the club changing hands. if we are really offering him 65k a week it's as someone else has said. It breaks down to a 5m-6m &fee 35k a week. The clubs continuing to run as usual, we need to recruite new players & Richards fits the bill.

useless Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 He'll do well I'm sure regardless of where he's from and whether we signed him first or not, just got to stay fit. I wouldn't be surprised if the wages are quite low, but have add ons taking them up to the 65k mark in games that he plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 From what I can tell, he's only had one real long-term injury. His lack of football seems mainly due to Zabaleta and then not fitting in at Fiorentina more than through injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted June 11, 2015 Moderator Share Posted June 11, 2015 Completely irrational but the fact of him being a Brummie makes me even happier with the signing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted June 11, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted June 11, 2015 Someone said earlier that it's a bit of a QPR signing, and I have to agree. Not a good first signing for Sherwood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
