Micah Richards has come out with an astonishing blast against Manchester City by claiming that the young players at the club will have no opportunity going forward.

Richards was one of the last players to have come through the City academy, which is known as one of the best in England. Since taking over, the club’s Arab owners have spent more than £ 1 billion just on players. They have also lavished immensely on making the youth academy even better. However, the number of players making their debut has reduced dramatically since the riches came to the club.

England international Micah Richards maybe the second Englishman to join Roma this summer after reports emerged that the 26-year-old is a transfer target for the Italian club. The Italian Serie A runners-up recently brought in Ashley Cole on a free transfer from Chelsea. The former England left back is regarded as one of the finest in the world. He may have approached the end of his career, but Roma were left extremely convinced with his fitness levels that they have offered him a new two-year contract.
Richards has played very little football in the last few years, but that does not seem to deter him from being attracted to the likes of Roma and Sunderland.

Liverpool are reportedly keen on bringing Manchester City defender Micah Richards to Anfield this summer. The England international is out of contract next summer and he has made clear that he will not be signing a new contract with City. After being first-team regular only a few seasons ago, the form of Pablo Zabaleta has seen him constantly waiting on the sidelines for game time. As a result, he has also lost his place in the England national team in the last few years. Keen to kickstart his career once again, Richards is looking to move to a club where he will play regularly.

Liverpool only last summer signed Kolo Toure from Manchester city on a free transfer. In this upcoming transfer window, they are looking to take advantage of the Bosman transfer once again. They have been heavily linked with a move for City defender Micah Richards, who is expected to depart the Etihad stadium in the summer. The 25-year-old came through the ranks at Manchester City, but the presence of players like Pablo Zabaleta is preventing him from getting regular first-team football. As a result, he is keen on securing a move away from the club in order to improve his career.

Manchester City defender Micah Richards is on the verge of quitting the club where he has been throughout his professional career due to lack of games. Richards is on the periphery of the first-team. However, City have been keeping him up until now primarily to fill the quota of homegrown players. The impressive performances of Pablo Zabaleta at right back have limited Richards to only a handful of appearances this campaign. His contract runs out in 12 months, but City may decide to sell him in the summer in order to recover some transfer fee.

Manchester City have been dealt a blow with the news that defender Micah Richards will not be extending his contract, which could lead to the player being sold in the summer. The 25-year-old came through the ranks at City and he has been one of the established players at the club.

However, the form of Pablo Zabaleta has not allowed Richards to even get a look in into the City first-team. Even when Zabaleta has been unavailable, Richards has been unlucky to miss out on the first-team chances due to injury.

Manchester City’s Micah Richards has been enduring a few tough season which have been plagued with injuries which is one of the main reasons on why he has only been able to make 8 appearances for Roberto Mancini during the previous season and this current campaign is not going any better as he only made 9 appearances in all competitions for Manchester City.

The 25 year old English defender has an unclear future as his lack of playing time could be a good reason for him to want to leave Manchester City and he has already expressed his desire on getting more time on the playing ground.

Manchester City full back Micah Richards has backed Joleon Lescott after he was repeatedly omitted from the starting lineup by the City manager Manuel Pellegrini. Lescott has only played in eight matches out of the 24 matches which City have played so far in the Premier League and he was also left out in the clash against Chelsea where the home team lost to Chelsea by a goal to nil. Trinity Mirror has indicated that the winning percentage of Manchester City has been much higher when Lescott has featured in the playing eleven than when he has been sidelined.

The Manchester City fans would certainly not have forgotten those 7 months in 2007 when their team hadn’t managed to find the net even a single time at home.

After beating Everton by a close margin of 2-1 on 1st January, City couldn’t win a home match in the remaining part of that season. It was not a memorable season for the Sky Blues by any means.

City’s squad has almost changed completely since then. But, one guy is still there. It’s Micah Richards who is in his 9th year at Etihad now.

Manchester City’s Micah Richards has said that he may have to leave the club at the end of the season in order to benefit his international career. The England international has been playing second fiddle to Pablo Zabaleta since the Argentine established himself as the number one right back in the country.

Richards has often been used as a backup by manager Manuel Pellegrini. His contract runs out in a short time. Even though he stated recently that he would like to extend his contract with the club, where he made his debut as a professional, his current plight means that he may have to search elsewhere for first-team opportunities.
