Sunderland Transfers: 5 LATE Deadline Day Signings Sam Allardyce Could Make

2. Micah Richards

Micah Richards is such a deadline day signing. You know what I mean. There's a certain category of players who always seem to be linked with moves away from their clubs, regardless whether there's any real chance of them doing so. Sunderland are reportedly interested in the Villa defender. Probability? Before this morning, it would've been a 100% possibility, though deadline day developments suggest Richards is staying put for now. Discontent among Villa fans spilled out onto Richards in their recent cup game, so you could perhaps see why he 'could' try to seek a move away and why Allardyce could pounce, though boss Remi Garde believes his man is staying put.
