Good luck, Jazz. Says on Instagram he's leaving immediately.

The Wales international has been hit with a number of injuries during his stay in the Welsh capital and his nightmare run of luck struck again when he injured his calf while on a road run while training in isolation during lockdown.

Some people are just unlucky.

[CCFCC3PO]

Feel sorry for him. I see people like xsnaggle think it's a laughing matter but then he has the "just quit" mentality as we seen from his comments on the Track and Trace whistleblower.

But, it must be immensely frustrating for a player to have injury issue after injury issue. His name escapes me now, but we had that Derby defender (was it Riggott) who showed painful frustration when he had to withdraw from a game for us with injury. One of the saddest things I've seen from a player, and I hope Richards can continue earning a living from the game.

It was Riggott.

[life on mars]

All That Jazz

[cyril evans awaydays]

Though if you have one good game in three when you are fit then that might weigh against you as well.

What was his longest run of games?

[cyril evans awaydays]

What was his longest run of games?

No idea. Over this season I recall him having a decent sub appearance when he came on vs Millwall at home and then was brilliant vs Sheff Weds away before looking like he had never put on a pair of football boots when he had his arse ripped in the 6-1 away defeat at QPR, all of which I witnessed first hand and went from gosh we have a new player to what a liability.

Which games that you went to do you think that my conclusions are off the mark?

Everyone was crap at QPR.

40 league starts for City in four seasons:

2016/17 - 25
2017/18 - 5
2018/19 - 0
2019/20 - 10

This may be a little unfair, but I was always unimpressed by the fact that he had 'Jazz' on the back of his shirt as opposed to 'Richards'. To me, that suggested he believed he was a little more special as a player than he actually is. But maybe that's simply because I didn't think he was very good.

There you go again insulting people. you always revert to type eventually. Track and trace whistleblower?? i have no idea what you're talking about. Remind me!

Unlike you, I can back up my claims. The Track and Trace whistleblower was the one who said she had no work to do.

[xsnaggle]

Unlike you, I can back up my claims. The Track and Trace whistleblower was the one who said she had no work to do.

My comments were why didn't she just either take the money or quit? If she feels so strongly that she has to talk to the papers then resign. If she needs the job be grateful for it and keep her mouth shut. Its a simple point.People may not agree with my opinion but it won't change. I think should should do one or the other. Instead she complains that there is no work but hides behind anonymity so she can keep taking the dosh.
A bit like people who keep changing their names on here. someone else today perfectly described that kind of person in another thread.

:wave:

Christ, imagine being as stupid as you. Yet more unsubstantiated claims but, I should be thankful you didn't call me a girly name in reference to my sexuality.

Bye Jazz, I bid you good luck for future and thanks for eerrmm... everything :shrug:

[tforturton]

We took a gamble on his fitness, and sadly for both parties, it just didn't pay off. I think we'll see a few more similar departures in the next few weeks.

Totally agree on this point. Why was he ever so indulged?

[Fine Lines]

Wonder who will fill the home grown player spot in the match day squad now ?

I thought he was born in Swansea?

[Fine Lines]

I thought he was born in Swansea?

Started at our academy before going to Swansea’s and breaking through there. EFL rules state there has to be one club developed player in the match day squad. I’m guessing these rules have been relaxed now as we don’t have anyone in our match day squad that covers the criteria.

For this reason I thought he had a shout for a new contract and he can cover a few positions. Just never happened for him due to injuries here.

Wouldn't Ralls fit that rule?

[Der Kaiser]

Shame it hasn't worked out for him but would've been a ridiculous decision to keep him on.

[life on mars]

Did he decide to go with the arrival of Brad Smith and the return of Greg Cunningham to training , we have Sanderson and Bennett so fairly well covered perhaps ??

He may fancy putting himself out there to sign early for next season ?

He played a total of 58 games,18 from the bench, a lot more than many of our recent signings Madine,Bogle,Ward,Day,Cunningham even Tomlin! As Harris said, A class player who unfortunately has been injury prone in the last four years. Hope he finds a club and gets back into the Welsh squad.

[Trigger]

Played a part and we have lost far more cash on others over the years.

It's a shame for him really, didn't choose to be injured, but it's probably the right decision for everyone.

All the best Jazz.

[jon1959]

Smith and Cunningham are both LBs aren't they? The only RB we have since Peltier and now Jazz left is Sanderson (and he was mainly a CB before moving to us). A few players can cover at RB (Bennett, Nelson, once upon a time Connolly) but it is a position that needs to be strengthened.

[Lawnmower]

Too many injuries.
Might find it tough under the current climate to get anywhere near the contract he had here.

Would expect the other out of contract players to leave too.

Only one I’d like to keep is Ward.

[RonnieBird]

Great pity that it didn't work out for the boy.
I was never enthusiastic about him but I wish him every success in the future. Maybe he can get a job in coaching , but that's very competitive

[Fine Lines]

Wouldn't Ralls fit that rule?

I seem to remember asking that question in the past and being told he didn’t count.

[Loramski]

I seem to remember asking that question in the past and being told he didn’t count.

Ralls does count as a home grown player. If he gets injured I guess we'll be sticking James Waite or an Academy lad on the bench, with nine subs now it shouldn't be an issue.

[Bluebina]

Massive waste of cash....


Yes and a Jack thank God he's gone total waste of money for us!

[life on mars]

Feel a song for Jazz has left

( I'm leaving on a jazz plane, don't know when I'll be back or fit again)

[Fine Lines]

Ah ok. Maybe I’m thinking back to when he was injured and we had Cameron Coxe on the bench as that club developed player.
