Richards delight at Tevez boost

Richards says that the Argentine will give them something extra – as though having three £30-40 million strikers on the books is not enough.

“Before all this went on with Tevez he was outstanding. Last season he was inspirational and if he can bring that back to us … I know we’ve got a lot of players doing well like Sergio [Agüero] and Edin [Dzeko] scoring again [against Porto in the Europa League], so it will be hard because I’m sure the other strikers will be thinking they’ve done well but now Tevez is going to come back and play I’m sure the manager will sort it out. It is some firepower isn’t it?”
