Richards will unfortunately be going nowhere. There's nobody daft enough to take him.

He would probably fail the medical. His knees must be shot, how many games has he been fit for in the past year? He's been a disaster.

I'm not being nasty, but why don't we just write him off on the insurance?

Micah and his agent must be laughing themselves silly.

60+k a week to do absolutely nothing.

No club is going to give him a better offer, so just sit tight, say nothing and be the club's official clown.

Please excuse the ignorant question but, doesn't a player have to agree to be written off medically to be able to claim insurance?  IIRC didn't SAF want to claim insurance for Paul MGrath but McGrath refused?  I'm probably raving again.

Does anyone know what SAF did when Robin van Persie "died"? Was there an insurance claim?

So, we have no cover at left-back and our manager is spending the last day of the transfer window in a pub?

I don't want players playing out of position  as "cover". Left-backs should not be right-footed. Get a left-footed left-back.
