But after the first 11 is anyone else worried that the squad is looking a little thin even with the new signings....? I think it is yes...but getting these guys out first is the priority...i would rather have a 16 year old on the bench than richards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having got rid of so much of the crap from last season I'm even more adamant that we should get rid of the last few. The club have done a wonderful job of overhauling the squad this summer, we are now so close to ridding ourselves of the bag eggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted August 20, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 20, 2016 Really concerned that there don't seem to have been any serious links yet. Surely even with last year's toilet doings fest of a season his reputation is not so tarnished that no one in the need spectacles league will take a gamble with the obscene money sloshing about this year.

What might have been a major gamble on him last year will be a 2p shove Machine gamble this year. Even as one of our higher paid players we are not exactly big payers are we.

TheStagMan Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Apparently we are "Bracing ourselves" for a move from Hull :-) as they are planning to swoop and activate his £5m release clause!!!! Oh NO!!!!!!!! The only thing I think we would be bracing for would be the massive party at Villa Park if he were to leave and we were to get £5m for him! http://www.footballinsider247.com/new-aston-villa-bid-for-defender-with-5m-release-clause-report/ Quote Hull have made an enquiry with Aston Villa about former captain Micah Richards, according to a report. The Mail claim that Hull are hoping to sign the ex-England defender, as they look to build on their small squad. The Daily Star reported last month that the 28-year-old has a £5million release clause in his Villa contract. The Northern Echo then reported that Sunderland manager David Moyes had been interested but had opted to search the transfer market for a different defensive option. Villa manager Roberto Di Matteo is under no pressure to sell Richards, who captained them last season at times. The defender has three years remaining on the four-year contract he signed last summer. Richards endured a difficult campaign last year as he was unable to prevent The Villans conceding 76 Premier League goals, and subsequently being relegated for the first time in 28 seasons. He has been a fringe player this season, with new skipper Tommy Elphick, £7million signing James Chester and Nathan Baker ahead of him in the pecking order for central defender spots. Richards joined Villa on a free transfer from Manchester City in 2015 and the defender played in 28 matches last season, predominantly at centre-back. Sadly if you read the article, it is not anything like as dramatic or concrete as their clickbait headline would suggest, apparently Hull have "enquired" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Rodders Posted August 23, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted August 23, 2016 and it presumably went as follows "what? seriously?! Yes, yes yes yes! Have him you beauties - er I mean, well he'll cost a lot you know. We can negotiate but you can have him for £5mil. That we must accept is a fair price for a defender of ours following relegation*sighs dramatically*." "Well we're just asking for now, still doing some research - " "What? No bother - have you seen his clips when he was at Manchester City- what an athletic star! "Well, yes, but that was a while ago, we just want to make sure he's still in good form, I see he played against Luton the other night. How was he? Haha, and don't try and play him down, you cheeky scamp" "You're quite right, quite right indeed, I can't fool you for a second! Ok, £2mil now, a discount apology if you will! - and he's yours,that's a great price and you really, won't need to bother with any more of that research." "Er, ok. Sounds a little suspicious, but we'll just make su - "Free! ok, twist my arm, twist my arm, you can have him for free, but you'll have to pick up his wages, that's my best offer!" 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LakotaDakota Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 £5 mil release clause? Him & Lescott should be in the buy one get one free £1 bin somewhere. If anyone is stupid enough even to offer a packet of crisps in exchange for either/both we should rip their arm off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
