Kieran Richardson? No Thanks!

I’ve come away from my sunbed in Lanzarote to write this piece. As I sit here basking in the sunshine, I read that Gary Rowett is expressing an interest in Kieran Richardson. 

Let’s not forget, Richardson was part of the pathetic Villa team who threw in the towel and were inevitably condemned to relegation. Out of the few players to come out of that laughable season with the smallest amount of credit, Richardson is not one. 

He was ridiculed by their fans after consistently putting in adverse performances. On the occasions I witnessed Villa first hand, I found him to be one of the main problems. Richardson did not look comfortable in a full back position, so it’s baffling why Rowett would even show a tentative interest in him.

Blues aren’t flush with money – we all know that. But let’s be realistic. Surely there’s better options out there than a washed up 31 year-old who didn’t shed an ounce of sweat for his teams cause last season.

Kieran Richardson? No thanks.
