The Fun Factory Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Not a fan I am afraid. It seemed like a good signing but he can't play centre half and he is not agile enough anymore for right back. All talk and no action. He reminds of a Mr Burns quote to Homer Simpson 'Feisty yet Spineless' He will be at a Norwich/West Brom type club next season giving it the billy big balls.

jacketspuds Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Probably counting down the days until he can bugger of to the MLS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabby Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 People ( the media especially ) like to point to the overseas signings as the root of our issues but for me Richards is a bigger example of poor purchasing.He has barely played at his best position RB for 2/3 years yet with very little experience at CB he was brought in to be the spine of the side and captain to boot. Even in preseason he looked dodgy and its continued into the season , every time he has played we have been useless at the back. Okore /Lescott are the favoured CB and the continued pursuit of Debuchy would indicate Garde doesn't rate him much as RB either What ever happens he will be gone next season , if someone is prepared to take him on given his big salary here. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep he's been one of the worst signings ever, him along with Gestede, Lescott and Sinclair have been complete shit for the most part. The ones that were signed that had experience in the English game should of made it easier for the foreign lads to bed in but instead they offered feck all and made things worse. I wish we had went and made all our signings from abroad, I'm sure it would of took them a bit of time to get up to speed but no doubt would improve as the season progressed and not just stayed shit like Richards and Co. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanO Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 All mouth and no trousers. He had great promise several years back but he's a liability now, hopefully some other club will take him...preferably in this window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post samjp26 Posted January 31, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) I found it funny today when Okore came on for Westwood, shifting Micah to RB and Bacuna into midfield. Or at least that is what the typical man's theory would suggest. Instead we had Bacuna in midfield for a few minutes, before realising "oh crap, where is Micah" and having to slot in at RB because Micah was up top in the box with Ayew. This happened several times in the second half: Micah played up front, in the middle of the pitch, on the wing, on the left side of our defence (not the first time I've seem him do this and I have no idea why it happens). I've got a floating shelf on my bedroom wall, you know, a floating shelf that just does the job it is meant to do from Argos. However, for some reason, this particular floating shelf doesn't sit right no matter what I do - no matter what size wall plugs I use, no matter what size drill bit I used, it just seems to like to come out of its position and sometimes this leads to things falling off. I think the best bet is to replace it with a new floating shelf. Micah Richards is my floating shelf. Edited January 31, 2016 by samjp26 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanky Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Micah Richards at right back: That summed his afternoon at right back up. I wouldn't even contemplate playing him. Poor centre half, not arsed at right back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 For those that might not see, the player in the bottom right corner is Micah Richards, he was probably over the moon that his beloved Citeh got another goal. I really don't understand how a player at his age, with his experience, fails to stick in position. Even when we play Bacuna at left back he actually plays in that position and sticks to it, even though by trade he is a right footed midfielder and when needed a right back. Okore is a better CB than Richards and I think Garde knows this too, I just really hope we get Debuchy today/tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjaacckk91 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 So according to SSN Sunderland made a bid for Richards last night. Assuming we've got enough cover at the back I don't think I'd be against it, especially if it was a choice between him and bringing in a decent striker.

KSV Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 At this stage i dont care who leaves in this squad. They are all woeful and have not shown enough fight and passion or discipline. May as well sell him and let him undo their defence. Hollis will be happy too.. he would have turned a profit on a player too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rds1983 Posted February 1, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted February 1, 2016 With his positioning I wouldn't be surprised to see him on the pitch at the Stadium of Light even if we don't sell him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante_Lockhart Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Richards doesn't seem to feature in first team plans so getting rid of his high wage prior to relegation is probably making the board squeal with delight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
