Guest Posted 30 May 2015 Posted 30 May 2015 A serious injury stopped me playing at professional level... What about you?
Guest Posted 30 May 2015 Posted 30 May 2015 Yeah youve seen me play football! Think you were injured that week.
LCCFox96 Posted 30 May 2015 Posted 30 May 2015 Micah Richards. Not happy at Fiorentina and obv won't get game time at city next season. Looking for guaranteed first team football. Still 26 will be close to home city of Birmingham. Would be a good team to get his football career back on track? I'd take him. I think he would sit well on the right side of the 3 centre backs. He is quick, strong and always used to play with his heart on his sleeve as youngster. I think he's just become a bit disillusioned with the whole situation at Manchester City and his adventurous loan spell not working out has been a kick in the teeth. He could also cover RB and RWB if needed.
ALC Fox Posted 30 May 2015 Posted 30 May 2015 I think Richards is worth a punt but the questions are whether he'd be willing to come and also if he'd be willing to fit into our wage structure. I don't think there's any question about his attitude. He's remained loyal to Man City despite his lack of playing time, his performances are mostly full-blooded and committed, and he came across well in his BBC column a few years ago. He has natural ability and think Pearson could coax it out of him. Definitely worth a 2 year deal I'd say.
LCCFox96 Posted 30 May 2015 Posted 30 May 2015 He has natural ability and think Pearson could coax it out of him. Definitely worth a 2 year deal I'd say. I agree. Something like a short term deal with an extension clause for ourselves, if we and the player want it, and a potential release clause to a top 6 side should he rediscover his form would be a fair contract offer. Given we finished 14th this season (eventually!) with some very strong performances and our aspirations for next season I can't see him instantly turning his nose up at us if he wants first team football.
desertfox2 Posted 30 May 2015 Posted 30 May 2015 Richards is pretty much the perfect transfer for us providing his attitude is right and he feels he has a point to prove. Hopefully he accepts that no one will pay the same wages as Man City. Him huth and morgan as 3 centre backs, if that clicked wow
LCCFox96 Posted 31 May 2015 Posted 31 May 2015 I'll revise my list of players with some of the realistic targets we've been linked with or who are available: CB: - Robert Huth CB/RB: - Micah Richards LB: - Tyrone Mings A CM/CDM (possibly x2) ST: - Shinji Okazaki Didn't think we needed a CAM so much but if we can get Halilović on loan then do it Nige. Other than that resign Cambiasso, Wasilewski and possibly Hammond and I'd be happy with that summer business.
LCFCCKEANO Posted 31 May 2015 Posted 31 May 2015 If we get Okazaki, mabe Michu might be the perfect foil for him and Vardy. playing just behind them and a bit of a forgotten man
Stadt Posted 31 May 2015 Posted 31 May 2015 Richards has got a terrible injury record though, I know our sports science dept. is brilliant but I doubt we'd be interested.
ronnup Posted 1 June 2015 Posted 1 June 2015 Has anyone mentioned Cabaye yet, he'd be fantastic for us but obviously a big ask. Seen he's linked with the prem tenuously today.
MC Prussian Posted 1 June 2015 Posted 1 June 2015 Some more experienced players with contracts running out this summer: Danny (AM, Zenit St. Petersburg) Vitali Denisov (LB, Lokomotiv Moscow) Sergio Romero (GK, Sampdoria) Jorge Valdivia (AM, Palmeiras) Lisandro Lopez (ST, Internacional) Mauricio (CDM, Terek Grozny) Fernando Belluschi (CM/CDM, Bursaspor)
Daz93 Posted 1 June 2015 Posted 1 June 2015 Some more experienced players with contracts running out this summer: Danny (AM, Zenit St. Petersburg) Vitali Denisov (LB, Lokomotiv Moscow) Sergio Romero (GK, Sampdoria) Jorge Valdivia (AM, Palmeiras) Lisandro Lopez (ST, Internacional) Mauricio (CDM, Terek Grozny) Fernando Belluschi (CM/CDM, Bursaspor) I'd take those three! Danny especially is a great player, but he'd be on huge wages at Zenit.
Bamba's Babes Posted 1 June 2015 Posted 1 June 2015 Has anyone mentioned Cabaye yet, he'd be fantastic for us but obviously a big ask. Seen he's linked with the prem tenuously today. No. We have a brain that informs us that no such transfer would ever happen unless Leicester was in France, with an eiffel tower, warmer weather and a club that paid out their behind on wages.
General Smuts Posted 1 June 2015 Posted 1 June 2015 John Terry - racism and sexual misdemeanours. Would fit right in.
Gerard Posted 1 June 2015 Posted 1 June 2015 No. We have a brain that informs us that no such transfer would ever happen unless Leicester was in France, with an eiffel tower, warmer weather and a club that paid out their behind on wages. "Eiffel Tower" just releases a different image for any Leicester fan whose watched a certain video in the last two days.
ChuckLCFC Posted 1 June 2015 Posted 1 June 2015 CB - Robert Huth LB - Joe Bryan CAM - Lewis Holtby WG - ? ST - Shinji Okazaki Joe Bryan would be great, but i still think Schlupp would be better. Plus he's a Bristol lad and might not want to leave. I'd quite like him to stay so I can watch him in the championship next year anyway!
Guest Col city fan Posted 1 June 2015 Posted 1 June 2015 Scott Dann Palace's player of the season I think? Doubt he'll be leaving.
