Looks like Micah Richards is off to Villa. Shame he might have done a decent job for us. He's from Birmingham so no surprise he wants to go back there.
Just hoping that we didn't offer him £90k a week, as reported in The Sun. For that amount (even on a free transfer) we'd want someone we KNEW was upto demands of the EPL. Richards wasn't first choice at Fiorentina and was used predominately as 'cup' player. Given that the teams that were 4th and 5th bottom seemed the only clubs keen on him probably shows there are more than a few doubts about him making the grade. We don't need another Rodwell.

Would be a shame to see him go to a club in and around us season after season. We need to be the ones after names like that to make sure we aren't in a relegation battle again

Seems a little far fetched paying 2mill with no option to buy and paying his wages in full. Granted he did well at west ham but it's going to be down to weather he would even want to come

He would be a good signing if we had the option to buy next summer. He had a good loan spell at West Ham and is still playing for England u21's.

We need the option to buy though or we will be going through the same process every season looking for players in the same position!
