Re: Richards to Sunderland
He could have moved anytime over the summer, why wait until the last minute?

Re: Richards to Sunderland
Don't think anybody wanted him for what we were asking.

Re: Richards to Sunderland
Same thought here. If Sunderland were able to bag him, then not many other clubs were that fussed, clearly.
Are we Sunderland's feeder club now??

Re: Richards to Sunderland
I don't know if it's the fee that was putting people off....probably more his wages.

Re: Richards to Sunderland
Staying with City an extra 2 months probably means he gets those higher City wages for those two months. Might be worth over £300k to him...

Re: Richards to Sunderland
Oh, I dare say it does. But he can't just keep taking the pay cheque and not play, because when his contract expires, he'll be out and nobody'll want him.

Re: Richards to Sunderland
Rumour is now, he'll sign for West Ham today. Can't see them paying more than £6m.

Re: Richards to Sunderland
Reading that City wanted Richards out on loan (£1M). Maybe this would have been like the Barry loan to Everton. Richards wouldn't take a drop in pay to play 1st team footy at West Ham. Looks like he may be off to Italy now.

Re: Richards to Sunderland
How so? Last season he played in 10 games and was subbed off in half of them - mostly for Zaba. He wasn't cover for anyone, he predictably broke down so often.blueboy wrote:Yeah...good move for him, bad for us.
Granted, we won't have a FIFA superstar any more, but that's hardly won us any trophies...

Re: Richards to Sunderland
I meant it being a loan move....out of contract next season...all we lose is his salary...hardly like Yaya's. Would have liked just to get rid at £4-6m.

Re: Richards to Sunderland
Oh... I must've misread that bit, I thought we'd sold him.
In that case, no, it's very bad for us. We could've squeezed a few million out of him as a sale, but a loan is no good, he'll just walk away on a Bosman at the end of the season.

Re: Richards to Sunderland
Bit sad as he is the longest serving City player. End of an era but lets face it he wasn't even gonna get a game in the Carling Cup so it's for the best. Hope he has a cracking season & who knows next year ?

Re: Richards to Sunderland
Fiorentina paying £3.5M for the loan and £4.7M if he signs permanently. Let's hope he has a great season!
