With City pumping millions into the squad it looks like much of their young potential may be squeezed out. We badly need to add youth to the squad. Richards and Sturridge for Alex now or in the summer. This could be a genuine possibility as Richards has been struggling for form while Sturridges contract is due for renewal and with the possibility of having Bellamy Santa Cruz and Jo to contend with could force him elsewhere. A player should not have to be a portugese speaker to be considered. Young English talent is what's needed

I just posted this in the other thread but it fits better here.

Why do we need Richards?

Even if we let one of our centre halves go we still have four. Richards can also play right back but we have three of them as well.

If we were going to bring in a new defender then left back is the only position we should be considering. Richards would be a total waste of money.

I would be quite content to see Sturridge come here on the cheap. Richards not much so. Bottom line is though, there is more to be gained from Citeh going around playing Chelsea from the start of the Roman days.

Latest rumor I saw was that O'Neill was in for Richards to help Villa at the back. At this point City would be nuts to sell anyone except for reserve players, but I think that would be a great place for him to wind up

Theres no way Man City are stupid enough to sell Richards or Strurridge.
