Richards on his way this summer

I think we all guessed that Micah would move on this summer. the only doubt for me was the HG player issue for the CL.

I think we will end up practically giving him away. I'll be surprised if we get more than £5M for him. You wouldn't believe that 3 years ago we were talking nearer £20M and, given the price of Luke Shaw, Micah would have been worth £30M if he had stayed fit.

Sad news.

But we can't afford to be sentimental. He's not been able to stay fit and he's just a drain on our resources which we need to rein in if we're going to meet the FFP sanctions. We can ill afford to keep him on at whatever he's on a week (probably more than I'm on a year) just to be the smiling, FIFA playing face of the club. We could get my lad to do that and he'd be happy with minimum wage!

I guess he's nudging £100k a week.

Christ! They can pay me that a year and I'll loan them all of my kids to wear City shirts, look good and play games!

What a waste of a talent. I really liked Micah, but unfortunately, we can't be paying someone close to £100k pw to sit and smile and look good on mcfc.tv....

Good luck Micah, you'll always be regarded as one of us.

Well if Caulker is worth £8m, Richards must be worth at least £12m.

Yeah but Caulker plays every week and isn't injury prone blue.

Would you honestly pay anywhere near £12m for Richards....i know i wouldn't?

Richards only has one year left on his contract as it is. Injury prone, will leave on a free next year. We'll be lucky if we get iver £5M.

Mike Keegan reckons we'll have some add ons in the sale just in case he stays for, plays lots of games and is actually worth something like he was a few years back.

I'd pay at least £20m to us....

You'd hope the fucker would spend his time training and watching footy videos of how to defend.
