As for the 'impressions' - the problem there is that it's totally believable that a chavvy idiot footballer like Richards (or Gabby or a number of others in the squad) would do something like that. 'Well, he looks the type, so I guess he's guilty' - better hope I don't get you on jury duty then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 you really overestimate the intelligence of some of our players if you think they are capable of such impressions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted January 8, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted January 8, 2016 It's not outside the realms of possibility that Micah Richards punched Alan Hutton in the face and told Reginald Ray to go **** himself. Didn't happen though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It look to me like the camp is divided which probably explains why we can't get any decent results or performances on the pitch as a team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're putting words in your own mouth - you didn't say it 'isn't exactly outside the realms of possibility' - as Stevo has already pointed out, almost nothing is outside the realms of possibility - you said it was 'totally believable' because he's 'a chavvy idiot'. In other words, 'he's the type, so I believe he did it'. I paraphrased you perfectly, the fact that you don't want to wear it now doesn't mean I was being unfair. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PompeyVillan Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 It's not outside the realms of possibility that Micah Richards punched Alan Hutton in the face and told Reginald Ray to go **** himself. Didn't happen though. There are whispers on Twitter that not only did Micah abuse Reginald Ray, he slept with his wife, and Remi Garde's wife and mothers of Gabby's fifteen children. I'm not saying it's true, but it's on Twitter so you never know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrissmith921 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I was chuffed when we signed him - thought we'd got ourselves a guy who'd played top end football for a long time, would help our lesser experienced guys develop - I genuinely could have seen him heading to Liverpool/Everton etc and never in a million years been in a relegation fight. He's not a great centre back, hes the only one we have with any pace though. Okore is quick in a straight line yes, but milk turns quicker. Captain - well hes the loud one in the team. I cant imagine the thought was to have him as the only loud one / vocal one however. I think we missed on a couple of other signings in the summer that has led to it. The suggestion a few pages back that we'd spend money on guys without knowing about their character is sheep shit frankly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 So no evidence to back up the claims that Richards has a 'shite attitude' and is a 'chavvy idiot' bar a few posters having a dislike of him? Thought not. His performances haven't been up to scratch recently, but the same can be said about most of the squad, but to make things up about a player is just sad. Criticise his performances, fine, that's a valid point, but character assassination? C'mon! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Quote Micah Richards is an option at right-back, according to manager Rémi Garde. In his 16 appearances in claret and blues thus far, the Villa captain has played in the heart of defence. He made his name occupying the right-back berth in Man City's Barclays Premier League title-winning campaign in 2012. With Alan Hutton sidelined after limping off in the 3-1 defeat to Sunderland and his length of absence not yet known, Richards' ability on the ball, strength to charge forward to support the attack and tremendous pace makes him an obvious candidate to fill the void. The return to fitness of centre halves Jores Okore and Ciaran Clark has left Garde mulling over a reshuffle in his defensive ranks. He said: "This is an idea I've had for a few weeks but I haven't used it yet. "Leo Bacuna can play at right-back as well but he gave me some good answers in midfield in the last game. "Micah Richards at right-back is an option which is still in my head but I will see. "I haven't spoken to him about it yet. "I don't know yet how long Alan Hutton will be out for. "I can't say exactly when he will be back." http://mobile.avfc.co.uk/default.aspx?s=news-display&aid=5257419 Puts pay to the rumour that he is contractually obligated to play CB then ??

VillaChris Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 It's worth a go surely....Lescott and Okore weren't too bad as a pair and Okore and Clark has previously done well for us. When you think the amount of ball Hutton gets in a game, Richards could surely do something with that given how he used to bomb forward at City in that position.

PompeyVillan Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Garde speaking on the OS about potentially moving Richards to right back due to Hutton being injured. Would be a convenient excuse/time. And a welcome change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
