A real shame. A top player when fully fit and always a 100%er.

I have so much respect for this guy and was so pleased to see him play against Preston and West Brom. I am gutted for him but his body has endured enough. A great servant to the club and I'll never forget his role when we charged to the top of the Championship.

Always gave 100% and that is all I ever ask from a player in a City shirt. Good luck for the future Ricky!! :ayatollah:

A great distributor of the ball, he will be missed. A true professional :ayatollah:

Please don't take this the wrong way but I won't miss him.

My sympathy is with him as his career has eneded and he's a good guy, but he takes a good wage from city and contributes a couple of games a season. His playing contract should never have been renewed last summer.

His wages can be used on a player who will play for us.

Has been a fantastic player for our team over the years and I for one will miss him. He has been unfortunate with injuries in the last year or so but that can happen to any player and I for one dont think any less of him for it. He leaves here (as a player) a winner for me , however I hope he stays on in some capacity for Cardiff City. Thanks Riccy.

Is that a photo of you Ben? Maybe when you've grown a bit, you'll be a bit more respectful to a guy who's just retired through injury. Riccy didn't give himself a contract.

He definitely had more good days than bad. I wasn't his biggest fan when he first joined but he won me over and he's been nothing but a gentleman.

I haven't seen it as a waste of wages because whenever he has played outside of being injured he's been quality.

Great player his first season when we were top at christmas with Mcphail simply outstanding, sad loss bit now gives jones more options when bringing more players in, also gives Wildeg a great chnace, I personally would like Darcy back and given a run in his best position. :ayatollah:
