Could be a decent signing.

How many attacking players does one club need

How many attacking players does one club need

We need more strikers now that Best is injured.

[T.J.Newton]

Not a bad player, but he is universally known to be an abolutely arrogant big headed gobshiyte(which is why no other uk team will touch him), similar to Diouf(but not as good).

[bypass06]

Has had a bit of trouble off the pitch in his time.

Despite success on the pitch during the 2009–10 season, Kazim-Richards had an argument with Fenerbahçe fans after being taken off the pitch in a match against İstanbul Büyükşehir Belediyespor.^[8]Against Beşiktaş, Kazim-Richards was red carded for swearing at the referee and banned for 4 matches.^[9] While serving his ban, on the same night that his team mates lost to Kasimpasa, the media reported Kazim-Richards was out on the town. This report was denied by the Fenerbahçe board who released an official statement. The following day, pictures of Kazim-Richards were released and the Fenerbahçe board rescinded their earlier statement, claiming that Kazim-Richards had lied about his whereabouts which had triggered their denial of the report.^[10]

In December 2009, Kazim-Richards was also alleged to be involved in a sex scandal.^[11] A few days later while speeding to get to his team's training session, Kazim-Richards had a car crash during which he had not worn his seat belt and broke his right wrist: Kazim-Richards denies media claims that he was drunk prior to the accident

[arbitro]

He found his level at Bury. It was almost novelty value that got him his move to Turkey but he was soon found out.

I will be extremely disappointed if he gets a deal from Rovers.

[dwayne cage]

Face it he's awful http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colin_Kazim_Richards

There are his stats. Very unimpressive to be fair.

[Eddie]

He's not really a goalscorer, so to just judge him by how many goals he has scored is not fair.

[dwayne cage]

Well it says on Wikipedia striker/right winger. So if we are getting him in as a striker it is totally fair to judge him on his goal scoring stats.

[Eddie]

He always plays off of the other striker and is far more effective as a winger (which is how he is used by Turkey). Always looked decent at Sheffield United. As a squad player he'd be a good addition.

Certainly sounds like somebody in the same vein as Kean...

[The Rover of Finland]

Been waiting who is the idiot club bringing back to England. Should have known it´s us. Useless.

[T.J.Newton]

Is it worth the risk of having somebody so disruptive as just an average squad player, i think thats the point!, it is just a trial game though so hopefully the Shebster will see sense(as happened with Garra Dembele).

[Salgado Is A Hero]

His attitude is what troubles me.....I never watched him in Turkey but he looked alright for Sheff U......but Vukcevic, who I think will leave, is the only player we have who can play wide right so if it's between Kazim-Richards and nobody then we should see what he's like on trial.

Set to join on loan according to Cryer.

[Eddie]

Decent loan signing

[Lurid Coat]

I know I'll be in the minority here, but I think this may very well be a decent deal for us. I'd love to see Simon as our main right midfielder/winger, but CKR may provide solid back-up (or even push for a starting place). Several West Ham fans over at KUMB.com were impressed by his efforts when on trial with them earlier this summer.

[rovers11]

Better options out there imo. Not really a target man in the same mould as Best. I suppose they are saving all their cash for the Rhodes signing hence a cheap signing in Kazim-Richards.

[alexanders]

I have always been fond of Turkey and turkish players. I remember enjoying Kazim-Kazim at the turkish national team during the 2008 Euros I think. I also play with Galatasaray SK on Fifa sometimes as they are my favourite turkish team. On FIFA (which is very accurate) he plays on the

left wing.

IF Kazim-Kazim who is quite pacey and also has decent technique is an alternative to Marcus Olsson I for one will be very happy. I dont think he will be seen as a target man.

I think both Kazim - Kazim and Vukcevic suits a 4-2-3-1. That might leave us with this team.

Etuhu - Murphy

Vukcevic - Nunes/Gamst/Dunn/Formica/Rochina - Kazim Kazim.

Striker

And before people start slagging me off for being to positive or something I Know that we might see a total different first 11 and vukcevic might not even play. This is just my example of a first 11.

I dont know about how Kazim Kazim are concerning his defensive duties, but I think he is a decent loan signing in Championship.

[Ricky]

He's quoted on that article as being 25 and 23?? I'm guessing he's 25 as he seems to have been about for a while

[danger19_80]

If this is in addition to a £4-6m striker (Rhodes or otherwise) i'd be pretty happy with this. Is only a loan for a player at a good age with soemthing to prove in English football. Gives us options on the wing too.

[Majiball]

Lets hope he can defend.

[donnermeat]

But....but.....he's not Portuguese.......I don't understand WHY we're interested in him....

[dwayne cage]

I had my doubts about Kazim-Richards but a lot of people seem to think he will be really good so maybe he is worth a shot.
