Micah happy to shun big four
-
Micah Richards says playing regular football with Manchester City - rather than being part of a rotation system at one of the top four clubs - will enhance his chances of becoming a first choice with England.
He would have seen Shaun Wright-Phillips make his move from City to Chelsea and suffer two years of frustration as mainly a bit-part player before finally emerging from the shadows this season.
Richards said: "I think it is important to play regularly at club level to help you with England. I think it is vital. If you are playing week in and week out, you are getting the best performances out of yourself.
"When you go to a big club, a top-four side, and you seem to be rested 10 games out of 20, as a youngster like me coming through I don't think that is ideal.
"I think it is better for me to be playing week-in and week-out for my England chances.
"That was an influence in my decision to stay at Manchester City."
Long-term, Richards wants to play as a central defender for England - the role he operates in primarily for City. -
he should come to man u although i know that's impossible.
i would rather we sell ferdinand in exchange for him. -
I think the most he'll stay with City for 2 seasons and he'll definitely leave for greener pasture.
Cheers.

good lad..
he may just well be part of the golden legion that brings man city to their glory days -
I agree with Agenda. He's one good lad, and very smart and rational too. He doesn't lose his head in front of those money and glory stacked up in front of him.

Great defender...he's like a vidic on the flanks when defending...
-
he say this for now. when man city relegates or by the time he is 26, 27 he surely wan to move to big clubs

He'll replace G.Neville in the RB position this season,at least where England are concerned.
I hope Man Utd snaps him up as well.

Me 2..but he's from their neighbours...that narrows down the possibility of a transfer to Man Utd to approximately 10%Originally posted by xXxSIPxXx:He'll replace G.Neville in the RB position this season,at least where England are concerned.

I'm sure Micah to stay at Man City for another 3 seasons at least. Cuz i believe Richards will become the England leading defender.

By the time he is that age, he will be automatic first choice, which means even if he moves to the big clubs, he wouldn't be a bit-part player.Originally posted by anhydrouscoppersulphate:he say this for now. when man city relegates or by the time he is 26, 27 he surely wan to move to big clubs -
I think unless Citeh can get a UCL spot this season, he'll be leaving for a better club.

he can live like a king with the big salary.Originally posted by hiphop2009:money is a big influence.
