mightysasquatch Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 (edited) meh signing lets see how many games he can remain fit Unless he suddenly turns into the bionic man i'm not going to get my hopes upI may be wrong but I didn't think he'd had lots of injury problems over the last few years. Exactly, he's had one longish stint out through an injury. Where these "staying fit" comments are coming from I don't know...well I do, people need to change the record as rewording the same post repeatedly gets boring.

jonny-recession Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Dunno if it's been posted here before but this is a list of Richards injuries: http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/micah-richards/verletzungen/spieler/32617 This show that he has only really had one major injury fir a Knee OP. Dunno how conclusive that is but made interesting reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumerican Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Could be a flop but somehow I don't think he will be. Might even turn out to be quite the coup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted June 12, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted June 12, 2015 The general feeling from outside is that it's a coup. Looking at it objectively his injury record isn't bad at all, he's just been kept out the side. I can see him being a great signing. Articles suggesting he turned down West Ham, Sunderland and Inter amongst others, in that regard Sherwood has done a great job swaying him to sign for us.

DCJonah Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Coming into his prime with the right attitude and proven at this level. Ticks a lot of boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post NurembergVillan Posted June 12, 2015 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted June 12, 2015 I sometimes wonder if Villa fans would complain if we signed Lionel Messi and put him on more than 500 quid a week. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I take it we have made some sort of agreement with the player? If not this could read a little like an agent leaking that someone bigger needs to come in before next week or Micah will sign for Villa. I look forward to seeing him signing for us and waving a shirt around @ BH/VP after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 So other than the papers, few twitter guys and some people saying "I'm happy with this signing" (or not happy)...the signing hasn't even happened yet. Nothing official anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCarew Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 he actually offered me to shadow him for a day when I thought about becoming a journalist and he gave me a call Did you end up doing it? That'd have been a pretty interesting experience I reckon. I've never been privy to the sports side of this game, but I'd love to get involved with it even slightly I didn't in the end! I was in my 2nd year at uni but took a couple of journalism modules as I was interested in it, but it wasn't the avenue I decided to go down. I think it would have taken a while to sort out too as I would have had to have got insured or something along those lines. I get an odd tip off on a few things through his friend which is good sometimes, I think some people would be surprised in to how quickly things can change in terms of a transfer and contact etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing official anywhere. As stated by others, normally when Colley speaks up its pretty much on the money. Isn't Richards still on holiday?

TRO Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Is there anything certain about any signing ? Paul Mcgrath was a Man U Reject.....and went on to probably play his best football with us. Its anyones guess, but it could be a gamble worth taking..... we are not exactly the planets biggest attraction, we have much ground to make up and a few gambles might be right for the moment. If an up and coming Ronaldo is the only thing to please.....theres going to be a few disappointed fans this summer. Any up and coming stars are unlikely to join us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Mcgrath was good for United really, he just didn't fit into Ferguson's plans because of his drinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreeVillan Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 What with Ferguson being tee-total and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villanfromluton Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I extremely doubt that. The bloke stayed at City rotting away on their bench for about 5 years just for a bit of extra money. First of all he had not been on their bench for 5 years, secondly it is alleged Sunderland offered 25k a week more. If that is your argument, it really does not add up IMO. As for Villa, I reckon he would be a great signing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Mcgrath was good for United really, he just didn't fit into Ferguson's plans because of his drinking. well judging by some of the forecasts on Richards ( which could be proved right bye the way) McGrath's drinking would have been suffice to poo poo that signing too......."who wants drunks playing for us" can just see the headline.

villanfromluton Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I cannot understand why any Villa fan would not want Richards in their team as one of their main players. He really is a top player and a massive improvement on what we have. Heard him on the radio the other week and all he wants to do now is play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I sometimes wonder if Villa fans would complain if we signed Lionel Messi and put him on more than 500 quid a week. He probably only going to take that contract for tax reasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I still don't get why people are so happy with this. He's not a good defender - doesn't have the brain for it. He's simply an athlete who looked very promising but never lived up to the hype. This is going to be a catastrophic waste of money IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
