65k a week? :o
On a free, so bigger personal package

Still, that's way too much for a player like him. Is MON back in charge of our transfer policy?


Obviously Dick Advocaat doesn't agree. They offered him @90k a week

Is there anything you couldn't see the black side of?

With the new TV deal, plus being a free, I can understand us paying those wages, although we have no idea if that is what he's been offered. I do wonder though how happy players like Delph and Benteke will be though if he does come straight in on more money than them.

£90k a week from Sunderland? No chance.

Think the Mirror have plucked the figures out of the air.

And those figures might not even be true either.

Wasn't he seeing Helen Flanagan for a while?  Be nice for him to have something in common with one of the other Villa lads, should help him fit in!

Nothing official yet, but as this seems to have legs, he gets his own thread.

Mirror

Quote
Micah Richards has agreed to join Aston Villa after turning down a lucrative deal from Sunderland.

Sunderland had offered the right back around £90,000-a-week, but he chose Villa - and a deal understood to be around £65,000-a-week - after a personal intervention from Tim Sherwood.

The sought-after 26-year-old, had also been pursued by West Ham following his release from Manchester City.

The Villa boss is understood to have convinced Richards that he would play a key role in his new-look side and that he would be helped in his bid to break back into the England picture.

Richards has been at Italian club Fiorentina on loan but has made just 20 appearances for the Serie A club.

He has been keen to come back to the Premier League for some time, despite interest from Inter Milan, managed by his former City boss Roberto Mancini.

Speaks volumes to me. Show a bit of class, too

Last time he played regularly, he was very good, and then lost his place to Zabaleta which is no disgrace.

Not sure I could ever forgive his potty mouth when he got the winner against us though.  How uncouth! ;)

Last minute equaliser. Stupid ko time on a Sunday, shit crowd and atmosphere, was a pretty miserable game to be at. And we lost the replay.

Good goal from Milan though as I recall...

Why do you care? Not everyone has to be positive all the time.

If Richards stays fit, he'll be a good signing, but Man City would've kept him for their homegrown quota, so does that suggest there's something bigger? My main worry is that we'll give him a 3/4/5 year deal on 65k a week and end up getting about 10 appearances in return.

Being positive once a decade would be a start. We seem to be about to sign a top quality player, on top wages. Above anything else it's a sign that the days of austerity may be over and we're going to start paying the going rate again. And you're moaning that we're paying it.

If he can get back to the form of his early 20's he's worth a decent deal.

The biggest worry would be that we've taken finding Vlaar's replacement a bit too literally.

He's a definite upgrade on Bacuna, Hutton and Lowton. At his best he's powerful and quick.

The hope for me, as Dave W puts it, is that it's an indication of the wages we are prepared to pay our summer targets in general.
