Colin Kazim-Richards signs for Sheffield United

[Marty McFly]

And ends up at Forest

I can see him ending up at a non-league club if he doesn't put the effort in.

Very true. Waste of talent really. Wish Alex Revell had the talent CKR has.

Green.

If Colin had either the talent to match his ego, or put in the efort to match his talent he would be a very good player. As it stands, Sheff UTD reserves is going to be the biggest move of his career.

Looking from a different angle, hasn't this just proved his agent/advisors right

 

[BensGrandad]

I am just wondering how the deal was done during the game as suggested by some on here because DK was stood in front of the main stand with his grandsons watching the match. Granted MM was on the phone just before kick off and I thought that he was ordering his chinese take-away for later.

I would be happy for a small fee, sell on clause, and a season long loan for Shipperley, a left back and central midfielder from their reserves.

That is some wish list!

No - it's proved his agent/advisers have had a long term plan to get him out of Brighton. Remember a key bit of evidence in this plot - CKR was telling people he was going to Sheffield United way back at the pre-season friendly in Worthing.

All he's done is put piss-all effort in since then to engineer that move as quickly as possible, lowering his price and being so disruptive that the board just wanted shot of him.

It's the actions of a bunch of ****s to be honest. I've excused him a lot because of his age but can't be bothered any more, I hope both him and that other twat Knight have nothing but bad luck for the rest of their careers. They have both let Brighton fans down very badly.

Hope your wrong but to be honest i think your spot on

 

[BensGrandad]

I think that when he told Ben at the Worthing friendly he genuinely believed that it was a done deal for him to go to Sheff Utd. As LI has said, and I dont normally agree with him, when that deal didnt happen he then took steps to make sure it did and as cheap as possible for Warnock.

Interesting, I didn't know he'd said that. If that's the case then what you've said is probably about right.
From the agents point of view, he'll probably say that the end justifies the means. He got his move to a premiership club, even if that meant shitting on us in the process, I suppose that is just the way football is these days sadly. At the end of the day though, he's not that good so f*** him, hopefully he'll break his leg in training.

Bugger....I think CKR has the chance to make it. It's interesting that we've now "lost" three players to Premiership or Championship sides:

CKR, Jarrett, and Carole.

Also interesting that all of them were signed by McGhee.

also good management from mcghee in not letting barnsley have our valuation him. then turning down their bid, as long as the blades bid was of better value to us.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

I'm not sure what i feel about this happening.

But what i do see is how different players react to similar situations.

Maybe Colin came here thinking he's the man, and he was the incumbent #1 striker.

Unfortunately it doesn't work like that and everyone has to fight for their spot so to speak.

Colin could have taken a leaf out of Jake Robinson's book and seen that even if you come onto the scene and show promise doesnt mean everything is then handed to you on a silver platter.

Jake has worked his butt off to get into the starting XI and that's meant hes spent many a game in the reserves over the last few seasons to do so.

The same now is going to happen to Joe Gatting.

Colin could have learnt a bit from Joe and Jake because all 3 are similar ages, and at similar points in their careers, it's just a shame he couldnt match their attitudes.


Maybe it's not about CKR, it's actually all about securing a club to play against for Kerry's testimonial, we jsut gave em CKR to get the deal done

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

It was a strange purchase to begin with really. A lot of people at the time thought that he should have bought in a journeyman type player. It's beginning to become obvious to me that McGhee loves a bit of gamble and I think he was hoping CKR would set the world alight and then be able to sell him for 10 or 15 times what we paid for him.

Or say, a LEFT BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Must be getting Shipperley in return then if it's only £150,000.

Why so? 150K is the going rate for a striker tht cant score

 

[bhaexpress]

Personally Sheffield Utd. are welcome to him. His potential was mainly in hos own mind as he didn't show that much. As it is I wonder if he'll be the next ex Albion man to throtle Neil Warnock.

Least Knight did something for the club at some point.

 

[southstandandy]

CKR might have ended up being another Leon Knight throwing his toys out of his pram, but I'm a bit alarmed how many players seem to fall out with MM. Who's the common denominator in all this ?

Could it be that he thought MM was the C*nt as you call it and when he wasn't sacked at the end of last season and he didn't want to play for him so asked his advisors to get him away from MCGhee as soon as he could which i could perfectly understand.

McGhee strikes again!

I was standing next to him and said grandsons, we were chatting about a young lad, Sonny Cobb who had just come on and other youth team players. Then at about halfway through the second half he took a mobile phone call, told the grandsons to come along, very abrupt and off he went. I guess that was the call from Sheffield.
