Sergio Ramos or Micah Richards?

Liverpool Chelsea Tottenham Hotspur Manchester City Manchester United Arsenal
comment on the article

Afternoon all, after watching the highly impressive Micah Richards over the weekend, I couldn't help but notice that he's one of the best young defenders in the world, now normally i would say, "the best young defender in the world is Sergio Ramos." But now i feel that Micah Richards is as good as Sergio, both players play all across the back 4, and both can play in midfield.

Who would you prefer out of Ramos and Richards? base it on who's the better footballer, not what country they're from as most would obviously prefer Richards as he's English.

Vote 5 star for Richards

Vote 1 star for Ramos

LOL i love this thread!! England / City Fans saying Richards, Neutrals saying Ramos!! 1 is established and one has played in a position for 3 games and he's world class, and you wonder why english players get carried away with being praised as world class! Ramos is a quality defender, crosser, scored a few 2! So its not fair to compare with richards at the mo!!!

lucky you were not watching sunderland or you would be posting that Chopra was one of the best strikers in the world.

Sven loves Micah and so do we wouldn't swap him for anyone, he is definitely destined for great things and I hope and pray it's done in a sky blue shirt! Next contract has to have 50 mil buy out clause.

has to be Micah every choice. but i doubt he will come to utd, if he does, sven will make SAF go DEEP into his pocket.

I can more or less guarantee he wont be at City next season. The top four managers will be looking at him throughout 07/08 and will surely pick him up next summer.

If he went to Chelsea is would be terrible. I'm sure he wouldnt go Man United, because he prefers to play centre back, rather than right back. Arsenal, well they wouldnt splash out £15+ on a defender so we can rule them out. Now Liverpool! We NEED another centre back considering Hyypia prob wont last another year ( he is a legend btw)>

I hope Rafa makes a cheeky little offer of £10m plus Crouch.

Good call error 101

Though he does look really really good so far it is still early for Richards. This is such a problem for England, all the hype and now everyone will expect him to taking over the captancy from John Terry in the England team in two years and when it doesn't happen or he has some natural hurdles on the way he will be deemed a 'flop' or an 'under acheiver'
