No one is disputing that mate. Although we could argue he didn't offer himself the contract, or plan to be injured, or shite etc. But being pissed off about him smiling, or laughing in a non match/football relating setting with his team mates is hardly a stick to beat him with. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcRigo82 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 True enough.. I didn't even realise he was part of the festivity.. Got to be as bad as JT being at Chelsea watching instead of away at Derby watching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted December 23, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted December 23, 2017 I think we should cancel Micah's Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 What's the deal with this guy anyway? Is he still injured and if not why is he not playing for the reserves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingman Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Had a bad knee injury last i heard but with 18months left of a £50k a week contract wont be going anywhere quick without a pay off. Will probably end up like the Rodger Johnson scenario! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Explained: What's happening with Aston Villa's Micah Richards Aston Villa transfer news includes a look at the future of forgotten man Micah Richards The 21,677 supporters who trekked down to Villa Park on Saturday might have been expecting two Premier League winning former England internationals to line up against Peterborough United. One of them, John Terry, did as he made his long-awaited comeback from a broken metatarsal - but the other was nowhere to be seen. The other, of course, is Micah Richards. The 29-year-old defender was touted for great things as a youngster and broke into Manchester City’s team before going on to earn 13 senior caps with England. FA Cup success followed, as did Premier league glory (twice) before an exciting opportunity arose out in Italy with Fiorentina. Richards was by no means a regular in Serie A for Fiorentina, but he was in the Europa League and cup competitions. A return home followed upon the expiry of his loan deal and a move to Aston Villa and the city of his birth beckoned. http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/micah-richards-villa-man-city-14126402#ICID=Android_BMNewsApp_AppShare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted January 8, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted January 8, 2018 Shocking that he's still only 29. Has he no self respect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got 6 or 7 years left in this game at this level easily if he got his head out his arse and took a leaf out of Terry's book. Unbelievable.

The man has disappeared from football it seems with or without injury, unless it is career changing then different story, but if that was the case then the club need to state that.

He won’t last that long, Terry has kept himself fit and active all of his career. Richards has bulked up so has to carry hefty weight around every match which his body cannot take (see also Gabby). Plus Richards has a tiny little percentage of Terry’s attitude and ability. I think he will more or less disappear from top flight football after this contract, unless he can find another sucker to sign him in the hope of him regaining former glories (from 5 years plus now!)

The plus side he is only 29.. but like you say.. bulked up and it sounds like we are talking about players in their late 30's when we mention this perhaps being his last club at this level perhaps at the end of his contract.. or is it a case of wrong manager who does not rate him perhaps?

Still good to shed some light to justify why what otherwise looks like he is just wondering around the club picking up a wage, would you agree? Edit *If he was injured that is.
