You're soft in the head today Bish.

Richards is a better right back than Corulka right now.

Not for me.

Was never particularly impressed. For a big lad his heading was diabolical and I've seen ships turn quicker. He does have some real strengths in his game but I never really fancied him.

Also with Micah, Zab and Jerome, RB is not a position that needs strengthening.

I'm not really understanding the point of this topic.

Surely the answer is no.

Next we will get topics on would you take Vas, Corradi or isn't Lee Bradbury still playing, back.

Shocked!
City are coming to get you!

No, he is a poor centreback and gets turned for pace far too easily in that position. He's a good right-back but not as good as Zabba or Micah, probably on par with Boateng but he will get better after a season of action.

He looked good for us simply because he has superb technical ability (like most players from that region). Most of his team-mates at the time handled the ball like a hot potato so he stood out as quite good. Put him in our team today and he'll look like the weak link.

I like corluka, hes around the same as what we have already in micah zabs and jerome, hes not better but hes certainly not worse as some would have you believe. If we are going to sign a player they have to be an improvement on what we have and in this case its a no.

On a side note, he was 1st choice all last season there in there best ever PL season and hutton was on loan at sunderland(with view to transfer) whats changed?harry goes on and off players really easy, kranjcar,palcios, bale keane the list is endless one min there guaranteed regs next hes trying to ship them out.
derby day the scores were level,
then the goat was fed by neville,
silly boy should know for sure,
feed the goat and he will score!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I remember rightly was it Zabs that was brought in to directly replace Charlie?
