Right ladies and gentlemen I am looking towards the future without John Terry. Steve Bruce said today that he is about time Tommy elphick and Micah Richards started earning their money so would you give them a chance in the lineup? I just want to touch on Micah Richards for a second he still youngish at Manchester City it was a good Defender so what has happened to this guy?

I remember we was all quite excited when he signed for us he is on £50,000 a week that's 600 grand a year and his hardly played or given the club anything back for his wages so should we make him play he is here for another 2 years yet so love to hear your thoughts because in both these players there's a good defender in there for just some reason they are ripping the club off and not trying.

Personally i'd rather put a cardboard cut-out of john terry in defence than micah richards, and it'd still play better, though micah would still win top prize as the most wooden defender on our team, just pipping elphick, to be fair though, elphick i think has caught that nasty condition known as richard dunne-itis, where you try hard, but more often than not it goes pear shaped, maybe, just maybe, with terry coaching him, he could rise like a pheonix to become a cult hero! -failing that, get that young lad in from united that brucey has been scouting from last summer.

1 - Your maths is awful, 50 grand times 52 weeks in a year is 2.6 mil a year.
2 - I doubt very highly he’s still on 50000 a week, it was noted when we came down every player signed in that window the summer before had relegation clauses, the only clever thing Tom fox and co did.
3 - He was decent at city because he was playing right back and he didn’t weigh as much, now his about 15/ 6 stone running around like a mad man and it causes injuries.
4 - it’s kind of funny actually because when you watch how terry got injured Saturday, that’s exactly what he did, chased the ball like a headless chicken, some thing he doesn’t normally do, lost balance and was going to fast, tried to slow down to quick and it went.
5 - I don’t actually think Richards has a bad attitude, see the Wycombe game and when he scored against Watford, however he was thrown into that category with Gabby, Lescott etc because he just wasn’t very good. However because of that, being put in the same bracket for being awful it seems like it may have swayed his attitude, and now he’s thinking stuff yous then, I’ll just collect the money like the rest of them.
I hope he does prove us wrong but the injury problems, everything that’s all ready gone on, it’s all stacked against him. Elphic played with Chester a load of times last year, he only got took out because of injuries, I’d be much more confident seeing him in there. Samba I’m not so sure off, look at the way he got megged for their second Saturday, selling baker really doesn’t seem like a good idea, no matter how much they paid.

1st of all cheers Chris your right my maths is terrible but according to top researchers at football manager his on 50k apparently there not very often wrong lol. And I wasn't saying Micah is the answer just that his here for another two years we might as well use him because as you have corrected me his on a shed load of cash.

Steve Bruce said it would be nice to see him earn that money. And as for attitude Chris well he has put weight on as you say so his hardly kept himself fit an been banging on Bruces door saying I want to play. In fact his been happy not playing as his not asked to leave because his on such huge wages nobody would touch him anyway.

That was my point, originally I don’t think his attitude was the problem, more his ability. Now he’s been slated for this an that it seems he does have an attitude.

Neither Elphick or Richards deserve to be anywhere near the 1st team

IMO I would draft Jedinak into the back four or put Hutton in the middle and recall Taylor

Samba is a bit part player whose legs have gone and is there as a back up .

Just goes to show how poor richards and elphick are is samba is on the bench ahead of them.
