Ahead of today's big Premiership game between Man City and Newcastle, Sam Allardyce has spoken of his admiration for Micah Richards and labelled him an "outstanding talent".
Allardyce said: "Micah Richards has gained a vast amount of experience in a short period of time and has used his outstanding attributes to become not just a regular player for Man City but for England as well.
"I think has still got a good bit to learn from a tactical and positional point of view but his pace gets him out of trouble when he makes a wrong decision and that makes up for it.
"In particular, his move to a new position from full-back has helped and he is now a truly outstanding central defender."
