    Made a point of applauding the crowd and throwing his shirt in to them at the end of today's match. Could this be goodbye???

    If we lose Richardson, we lose a very good player. We ought not let the longest servant leave the club without a damn good attempt to keep him here. If he decides to leave then I wish him the best of luck. Try and think of a better defender than Ricco who we are able to realistically bring into the club.

    Keiran found God at Sunderland!

    So versatile too. He didn't get enough plaudits for the Chelsea 3-0 two years ago when he kept Ashley Cole quiet while playing on the right wing.

    I am not a fan of KR the LB but I do like KR the player - even if he had a canny game today. We commented at the end of the game that it looked very much like a goodbye gesture and it would be sad to see him go but I do think he wants to move back south and wants a London based club.

    If we used him as a forward midfielder more I think we would see better return but then I am not the manager.

    I cant seem him going, nor do i want him to. We all know he aint a lb, but he is the BEST we got, why would MON let him go? even if he brought another in, we would still be woefully short. He is so versatile, must stay imo

    Cant see anyone except for maybe Bramble being on the way out!

    Never understood why he gets so much flak, a good all rounder who's played in just about every position exept in goal. Would be sad to see him leave - who's next for the hate brigade.

    i think you are wrong here. Fans are only split about his position at LB, which imo he will never be.

    His commitment and his attitude at the club are not in question. If he was played in a more forward position behind the striker or in a more wide left position, he would be more effective. Unfortunately for him, we haven't had a LB for some 2 years and he has been asked to cover that role.

    I also feel that he himself wants to move back south rather than the club looking to sell him on but that will only be done when replacements are secured.
