Didnt he score against us under DOL in the cup on his debut in the dying minutes?  Had bad vibes about him ever since

Yep, 5th round to force a replay at their place. There was only about 23K there that day as well.

I wouldn't be bothered if he went without us getting a fee for him.

He's not the brightest tool in the box! 

What pisses me off most about him is the fact that he has a personal crusade against one of the opposition every game.  Instead of winning a personal  battle of football with his opponent we have all the Joey Barton attributes  - he is a car crash.

Doesn't it just sum up the malaise at the club that the 2 club captains for the last 3 years have been Gabby and Richards.

Even at RB he is incompetent of doing his job in the most basic form properly, get rid.

Agree with your second point but not the first. I just don't think he is putting any effort in.

I see it more as a fraudulent deception to make you think he's been in the game and he cares.

The Swansea match summed him up, he was more interested in continuing a bit of push and shove in the Swansea box after a corner than getting back to help his team out. No doubt some thought he was showing a bit of 'passion' at the time, I just thought he was being a duck and very unprofessional. Seems he continued it after the final whistle too.

So let's get this right;

We signed him and the very first thing he does is sell his old club to our club captain and arguably most influential player resulting in him leaving,

He then becomes a divisive force in the dressing room tweeting about the work rate and ability of our new signing (who turn out to be our best players),

The are rumours (that's all) that he refuses to play RB for at least the first half of the season,

His performances have been woefully inadequate when he's played and the side look much better without him in it.

He's most probably one of our highest earners at the club.

He has in part Captained us to our worst league performance in nearly 30 years.

If we do no other business, this bloke and N'Zog would be the first out the door this week for me, absolute cancers in the club.

He's an utter fuckwit, how he is captain I have no idea.  A disgrace to the club, I truly detest this man.

Better ask Nice but Tim about the deal behind Mickey taking Richards' arrival.

I think he's still sulking about Tim's departure.

Like Gabby his physical attributes have got him to this level but mentally he ,especially at CB is not prem standard.

How a player who barely played for 3 years came in as our first choice CB  ( a position he has never regularly played ) on a huge contract and was made captain is beyond belief.Arrogance on Tims behalf in that IMO he wanted to prove English talent was better and he could nurture him into a England player again ....

Like Gabby once his pace goes he will be utterly useless

Like others thought on paper at least and on a free transfer he was a very decent signing and certainly an upgrade in defence.

But he has turned out to be a total disaster and every time he comes back into the team with the exception of a league 2 side we have looked absolutely feckin woeful in defence.  It cannot be a coincidence so I wouldn't play him as first choice again.  Let him go and get a job at Notcutts as their Santa.

Couldn't believe the space he had on the right hand side in the second half, he had more than I had in the top of the Holte, but every time he received the ball instead of bombing forward he played the ball back, when we lost the ball he ambles back towards our defence. He shirks all responsibility and doesn't help out team mates, a complete disaster on all accounts.
