Richardson

[Veedey]

This little youngster. I have seen him for the first time yesterday and would like to know more about him. Hey lads who watch youth games, could you tell us please:
1. What kind of talents does he have?
2. Which position on the pitch does he prefer?
3. Was he born in Manchester? What are his weight & height? It seemed to me he’s small like hobbit. (Hope this joke is not offensive.)

And dear mods, why isn’t he in the TEAM yet?

miniature kid creole with the liddle muzzy ann all.
he's a LW in the Giggs mould, obviousley trying out the facial hair aspect of his game. he'll fill out in a couple of years but he is small.
quick and skilful londoner, did well yesterday.

I knew it, Manchester only develops little ginger player doesn't it?

 

[Veedey]

Wasn’t it his fault before Bellamy’s goal yesterday?

talented footballer he may well be, but he will always be small and slight of frame, and this is a disturbing recurring theme with a lot of United youth players.
I think one of the main reasons we have not seen an attacking youth player break into the 1st team over the last few seasons is this lack of physical robustness in the players we are producing.
Size matters...and yet our scouts seem to home in to the runt of the litter talented billy-no-mates player all the time.
Chicken-boy Chadwick is the perfect example, a vitamin-deficient talented footballer who just does not have the physical presence to be a Prem player.
United as an organisation need to get the tape measure out more.
Check out the Arsenal and Liverpool squads...in terms of physicallity, it's men against boys.
What Richardson has in his favour, is that he is brave.

United have a pechant for footballers not wrestlers.

Unlike some.

I have a seperate wall for my WWF(sorry, WWE, damn those panda loving hippies)posters, and my United stuff.
On an unrelated note(wrestlers or not) I could not quite believe how ripped and buffed-up P. Di Canio is in that soap(?) ad.
Fergie says he's too old.....scuuuuuzzzie...abs like action man and an arse to rival J-Lo...surely the commercial dept. have missed an opportunity?

The coaches at OT actally believe his best position will be Central Midfield. That is the reason he plays there for the reserves and U-19s. However, he would not last 10 minutes in the PL in that position at the moment, so he plays down the left.

O'Shea filled out a lot over the summer, at a late age, Richardson's just a boy, he's got plenty of time to grow yet. Bags of ability though, used to play wing but has been tried out at Central Midfield this year. He's got great vision and long range passing, bit like Veron in that sense, but he seems to be working on his defensive game too in the reserves.
