I stated "depends". This because you just can't sign an influencial player (how Chelsea tried with Gerrard 2 yrs ago), but a forward or smth like that can always be welcome (take Drogba for example, he would be just too perfect).
about Richards, I think he's a good player that can become excellent. another bonus for me it's his english nationality. however as far as I know, he stated that Arsenal are his favourite team, if he was to ever leave City
