RUMOUR - Keiran Richardson

[PistolPete]

I think he's a brilliant player, but don't see how he'd fit our wage structure. Interesting character though.

Just paper talk no substance in this.

[Barry the bird boggler]

Yes, this is only the start. If we go up there'll be loads more silly half arsed links being made to all and sundry.

[loyalroyal4life]

better than not having any stories, need to get rid of the crap first like joseph mills, charlotte church

[Simon's Church]

Good competition for Wayne Bridge.

[Terminal Boardom]

This rumour I like. Better it is to be linked with this sort of player rather than the likes of Fae and Halford.

Possible replacement for Harte?! Have I missed something I thought Richardson was a winger?

What you've missed is that Ian Harte is actually a winger but not one that gets into the opposition half as much as he'd like.

If Shorey fails his medical at WHU then i think he'll do for another season

[old woman]

Hope this is a wind up!!! Has been playing as a full back at Sunderland but is injury prone.
Not for me.

[urz13]

Yes fcuking please! Quality player, and another very attacking left back. He can score too. I'd be thrilled if this happened.

He's been play at fullback for a while now hasn't he? He was originally a central midfielder, I thought.

[M-U-R-T-Y]

Yes, he's been playing behind McClean for the most part. AFAIK

[Arnie_Pie]

I hear contact has been made with his club.

Of course you have!

Started out at United on the wing, then moved inside whilst playing very well for West Brom and then Steve Bruce had him playing left back quite a bit at Sunderland. Can basically play anywhere if you ask me but that's maybe held him back over the years.

Also played really well for England in the US but never really got another proper chance from what I remember. Was odd as he just looked like one of those players that was comfortable at that level.

I like him, and he'd add a bit of quality on the ball if we were to bring him in.

Doesn't he have a dodgy fitness record?

I see this has been picked by several journos and doing the rounds again. Richardson apparently wants a move back down south.

The Sun:

READING boss Brian McDermott must beat off West Ham and QPR to sign Sunderland contract rebel Kieran Richardson.

McDermott is ready to bid £2million for the former Manchester United winger, 27.

Going to West Ham

I reckon this "report" is a template and all papers do is cut and paste the name in. Seems every "report" says we're bidding 2m for so and so and face competition from West Ham.
