mikeyp102 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Apparently spoke to Milner and Barry about joining us. Milner especially said he'd love it.. Sorry can't post article as something read off a fb link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 That's what he said on his AVTV interview. I watched it earlier today. He comes across really well, seems like a really happy chap and said how he sees himself as a senior head in the team, and one of the 'winners' that Sherwood wanted in the squad.

Isa Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) Micah Richards has told Sky Sports News HQ he wants to establish himself as a centre-half at Aston Villa. ... "I did have other options," he said. "But I spoke to the manager, and he knew what I needed as a player to get back playing regularly. He just understood my situation more than anyone. He told me what I wanted to hear. "I always said when I got older I wanted to play centre-half, and I think that time has come now. I'm getting old now, aren't I!? No, I feel in good shape and hopefully I can have a good pre-season. I feel as though my good years can still be ahead of me. http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11677/9906285/micah-richards-wants-central-role-at-aston-villa?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=Twitter That officially closes the book on this particular discussion.

VillaChris Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Just don't rate him in that position, him playing in a two would worry me. More chance of it working in a 3 perhaps with Okore and Clark also there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) Interesting. Pleased by his apparent self motivation too. Think he's going to be a good player, and I doubt very much whether Villa Talk have seen enough of him at centre half to judge.

useless Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 He can wish to play where ever he wants, but if Sherwood prefers him at right back, that's where he'll play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Think he will cost us a lot of goals in that position, more so than Vlaar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 He can wish to play where ever he wants, but if Sherwood prefers him at right back, that's where he'll play. Except that Sherwood swayed him with the promise of playing at centre-back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 But Sherwood's still in charge, I don't think he'd lose sleep over asking Richards to play at right back. I don't think Richards himself would be bothered about playing there either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginko Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I think he might take issue with it if it was a big factor in his coming here over other offers, which it sounds like it was. I don't think he'd necessarily kick up much of a fuss, but I doubt he'd be happy about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Richards himself would be bothered about playing there either. Well you could be right or Sherwood and Richards' quotes could be right. It's 50/50. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villaglint Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Personally never been a fan of of 3-5-2, always turns into 5-3-2 and gives you bugger all going forward. I predict he will try it and when it doesnt work Richards will play RB in a back 4 depending on the form of Okore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted July 8, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted July 8, 2015 Knowing Sherwood's attacking ways it wouldn't surprise me if it was 3-4-3! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy_Lion Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I'm really pleased with the signing of Richards. He seems to be the type of player want, he seems bright and happy. We need more of this sort of thing, get everyone enjoying playing again and enjoying coming into training etc. He also seems like he could be a good leader and that's the sort of opportunity he was looking for which I think was a key reason he came to us. For me we don't have enough leaders, even some of our more experienced players seem very quiet, take Vlaar and Delph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
