Sport picturesMark Hughes hopes to persuade Colin Kazim-Richards to return to the Premier League in a £4million switch.

The London-born Kazim-Richards is one of the rising stars of Turkish football after helping his country reach the semi-finals of Euro 2008.

And Hughes feels the Fenerbahce winger could be the answer to Manchester City's problem wide-right position.

Hughes' lieutenants Mark Bowen and Eddie Niedzwiecki have been making discreet inquiries about Kazim-Richards, who starred in Fenerbahce's run to the Champions League quarter-finals last season.

AdvertisementThe Turks paid Sheffield United £1.275m for Kazim-Richards 13 months ago and the Istanbul club would want at least £4m to part with one of their prized assets.

That is well within Hughes' budget and ambitious City owner Thaksin Shinawatra has already shown he is prepared to back his new manager by bankrolling Jo's record £19m signing.

Kazim-Richards, 21, who qualifies for Turkey though his Turkish-Cypriot mother, is settled in Istanbul and still has three years left on his contract.

He is mobbed in the street by Turkish fans who treat him like a god.

But Hughes believes he can still lure the former Brighton forward back to England with a triple-your-money £35,000-aweek deal.

Every time an ex player signs for somebody else the same question gets asked, the answer is NO ! We got rid to Sheffield Utd.

The Credit Crunch has apparently bypassed the premier league.

It would appear so.................

The Credit Crunch has apparently bypassed the premier league.

Reckon about the only thing that could bring the premier league to its knees nowadays is an Italian style match-fixing scandal

 

[bhaexpress]

Or the fact that people will begin to realise they are rather overpaying for a product to which there are no shortage of competitors ......

Nah, not whilst little snot nosed kids need the latest Manure shirt down there in Weybridge.

Funnily enough I think he is a Manchester City type of player

Correct.

 

[Icy Gull]

Correct.

Holding grudges is not big and it's not clever

It seems that CKR or CKK is an example of a player with a manager who is earning his commish.

Average player who has milked the publicity machine to get the most return from his pretty average talents.

 

[Uncle Buck]

His advisors seem to use him in the same way Anelka's advisors used him.

 

[El Presidente]

Never mind CKR to Citeh, how about Paul Dickov to the Albion? He is without a club at present. May be old, but still has plenty of running left in him.

A quality striker, can also play out wide, knows where the goal is, and of course, he's played for us before, so we can have another homecoming.

 

[bhaexpress]

Dickov has has some offers from the US from what I read.

Overated and expensive

 

[coventrygull]

Sadly in Premier league terms 4 million is quite cheap

 

[itszamora]

Here we go again....

Will be a flop at Man.City
