Southampton sign Frazer Richardson from Charlton
4:49pm Tuesday 6th July 2010 in Saints News
Frazer Richardson
SAINTS have signed Charlton right back Frazer Richardson in a deal worth £450,000.
The 27-year-old, who was named in the League One team of the year last season, has moved to St Mary's on a three-year deal.
The former England Under-20 international previously captained Leeds.
His signing addresses a key need for Saints, who have been without a recognised right back since the end of the season.
"Southampton expressed an interest in me and then made an offer to Charlton that I don't think they could refuse," said Richardson.
"I'm thoroughly delighted to be here."

This is a quality signing and only proves my point the second right back will be in the form of Simon Francis of Southend (Player of the year). I would think we havent had signings in the last three weeks is that we were in for people like Surman and Bailey - Bailey I feel we could still be in for - something is holding up move to borough.
Things will start moving now I would think. I would assume AP is after the following to give us two quality in each position:
RB - Simon Francis ( I believe he or the player he brings in will also be able to be a quality cb).
MID - Surman missed, Bailey missed - well not quite he hasnt signed yet for middlesborough (I wonder way that is!) If he really wants him he may be giving him an offer he cant refuse. Chris Lines will be his next choice, then Danns/Stock.
Winger - Antiono (also be a back up striker). Possibility Lloyd Sam as well.
Striker - I am convinced he is after Beattie. Again the longer beattie doesnt sign for a prem club we have a massive chance of getting him.
Key players in to summarise:
Simon Francis, Nicky Bailey, Lloyd Sam, Micha Antiono, James Beattie, Biakovski to resign aswell.
Add to that Connelly & Dickson already signed this is quality signings after getting rid of 14 dead wood.
Wotton, Holmes and Pulis can go as well which would really trim the squad.

I called this one weeks ago when I said that AP would only be going after the very best.

Davis, Harding, Jaidi, Schneiderlin and Lallana were already better than anyone else, Fonte came in from the Championship, Connolly is proven quality and in the last 10 months they've bought up the best players from:
Colchester: Hammond
Bristol Rovers: Lambert
Southend: Barnard
Exeter: Seabourne
Brentford: Dickson
Charlton: Richardson
Fantastic.

2. The blue few are sweating till the 15th. Hoping HMRC don't appeal. As a law abiding, non skate tax payer, I really hope they do/
3. Is it not funny how all the good news is released on the O.S. after 5 p.m. just after the final editions of the Echo have gone to press?
Come om Echo, eat a large helping of humble pie, get back on side, good for the club, good for the supporters, good for the Echo. You know it may taste bad, but you know it makes commercial scence.
Big season ahead. Let bygons bebygons, say sorry, and be a big part of what promises to be a great season.
