They're both talented but way too many injury problems for me to want them here.

I think Richards is well worth a punt, but not really interested in Rodwell.

We can't sign Richards and have Jenks as back up, he'd end up playing over half the season.

Richards has injury problems and really don't rate him that highly. We have the same problem with Vermaelen and Monreal, good players but their positioning and concentration levels are simply not good enough. Far too easily to pull them out of position and the same applies for Richards. A shame really he hasn't developed further.

Is take Milner if he's available

I'd take him as well. Decent player that can play numerous positions and gives his all. Great squad player for a top club. City won't let him leave though.

No they wont, Pelligrini loves having him on the bench, nearly always uses him.

Milner would be an excellent signing, I really like him as a player.

I'd take Richards too.

Richards was never a good player.
He is unprofessional last in and first out of training.
A big drinker.
Always injured.
His play is entirely reactive.

Hes a waste of space.

Beast though, would add power.

Milner is crap. He's like a Rosicky, good player to have in the squad but not exectly the sort of player you aspire to buy. Whenever you hear "works hard" as one of a players main attributes you know he's limited, and it's something that gets mentioned all the time with Milner.

Richards to replace Sagna? I might actually cry.

Rodwell might be ok, can play centre back and midfield for a start, but not sure he's the sort of midfielder we need or at the level we need.

Seriously no-one interested in Rodwell? Had massive potential. If he's over his injury problems, I'd definitely take him in the squad. Can give us some power in midfield which we need.

I'm the exact opposite. Wouldn't take Richards even if we were paid to do it. I'd gladly take Rodwell off their hands though. He's a very good talent and he's still fairly young.

Rodwells injury problems have been Diaby-esque. No way would I want him.

We could do worse than Richards in our squad. I'd hate to have to rely on him though given his injury woes.

Richards as CB/RB cover seems alright but certainly can't expect him to start.

You can't have injury prone cover though, it just means you've no cover half the time.

no to both. milner would be a good squad player in place of one of our duplicative playmaker backups.
