Injuries held me back – Richards
Micah Richards felt he wasn’t able to get integrated at Fiorentina, after his loan spell in Florence, as he reflected upon his move to Aston Villa.

BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND – JULY 03: (EXCLUSIVE COVERAGE) New signing Micah Richards of Aston Villa poses for a picture at the club’s training ground at Bodymoor Heath on July 03, 2015 in Birmingham, England. I wouldn’t say don’t go to Manchester City, because if he’s playing well he could play.
“They tried to get me in January but that didn’t materialise”.
The Villans’ new signing is adamant that the £15 million rated Englishman could be an ideal replacement for Christian Benteke, who has been strongly linked with a move away from Villa Park.
Austin’s future, meanwhile, is uncertain following QPR’s relegation from the Premier League, with Leicester having seen a £12 million bid rejected for the forward. I told him I can’t comment to be honest. When I was playing I was picking up hamstring injuries because I wasn’t playing enough.
“The (City) manager said to me, I want you to stay”, he continued.
“It doesn’t matter how much money you are offered, I thought I can’t keep doing this”.
He won the last of his 13 England caps in February 2012 and, after also struggling for game time in Italy, hopes the move to Villa can revive his career.
Defender Richards doesn’t think it’s a decision that Delph should take lightly, and would not recommend moving to the Etihad without being confident of a regular starting place in the matchday squad, suggesting that “It’s tough” because “Every player wants to play at the highest level, but if he’s just going to be a squad player then he shouldn’t go”.

“As a player, especially in the Premier League, if you get offered to play somewhere regularly, you have to take it. I’m sure he’ll make the right one”. I’m not going to stay on the bench or at home on the weekends just for more money. You need winners in your team.
