The Milner Novela... Final episode page 296

[Risso]

The big dirty bellend. So much for being one of the "good guys"

Spotty, square jawed Leeds reject.....

[TheSandman]

Fuck him then. He really merely an honest trier.

I reckon we will see at most £25million and would prefer to get two players Ireland and Richards or Onuoha plus some money say £10million.

Fuck Parker as Gollivan will charge through the nose and he's both old and overrated. I know I said the same about Sidwell but he reminds me of Kinsella he will do well in a poor team like Charlton or West Ham. Arguably, Newcastle too but he didn't make it at Chelsea.

Now links to Keane suggest we could get him for around £5-6million. At that price, sign him up. Rather than Parker I'd like Flamini who has been suggested to be available for £5million.

Get rid of some of the players (Sidwell, Beye, Heskey and Shorey... I'd like Luke, Davies and Reo to stay but won't hold my breath) and maybe get a left back as back up to Warnock and we'd have had a good summer.

[Mazrim]

We'll have Ireland, Joe Hart and £8m off them. Then the ugly ****** can go and join team pile up and disappear into the cracks.

And dont talk saft. There's more chance of Elvis coming back than Barry.

[TaxDodger]

Barry and £20 mill for me please.  Barry was as good central midfield for us the previous two seasons as James was last year and I would say Downing and Milner are comparably good out wide.  City would then be essentially paying us £32 mill for James, which is great for us.

If Barry was worth 12 million a year ago he's not really worth that now he's 12 months older. Especially as he's probably not going to get in their side next season.

[Concrete John]

If you can't keep your best players, you are by definition a selling club.

I thing it's when you want or need to seel them to stay afloat that you're a selling club.

[Greg N'Ash]

well thats the worry init. spurs got lucky, most clubs don't improve by selling their best players like Man U, Arsenal and liverpool recently. I think we're gonna struggle next season, whether he buys the wrong players with the money or they take time to settle

With Manchester City, we have the fact that they're paying stupid wages. That, combined with the fact that, having used said stupid wages to attract much better players, they're now a much better bet for silverware or CL than we are, and will continue to be that way.

The time to really worry would be were we losing players to Spurs, where the money is about the same (possibly less down there) and the reasons are football, not financial.

If it iis true MON hasn't spoken to Milner since before he went to the world cup, that makes me think he would probably prefer to flog him now and take the money.

its not just financial though is it? barry left because he thought they'd finish higher than us and they did, likewise milner. of course they're set up for life but i don't see how any neutral wouldn't say Citeh are in a better position if your looking for CL football compared than us. We'll see, but its going to be very interesting how much we've spent by the end of the transfer window if we get 25+m for milner. i'm betting with other sales we won't be spending much in real terms

[Ger Regan]

Wasn't last season the first season that he finished with the same manager that he had started the season with? He's going to really enjoy the stability at citeh, won't he?

[TheSandman]

I said months ago that Milner would deserve much more abuse than Barry. If you think Barry played for us for 12 years. Milner on the other hand has done two years before deciding to fuck off.

Milner isn't worth twenty odd million any more than Lescott was.  I think we should just be grateful that it's our turn to receive a chunk of oil cash for a player that just isn't THAT good.  If we end up with a wad of cash and Ireland, I won't shed any tears at all, he had one decent half a season.

On the one hand i agree with you, but on the other, didn't barry look to leave around 4 times in that 12 years?

[Dave P]

I'm going on record by saying I'd welcome Barry back.

DOL nearly sold him to Pompey one summer for £4m.

Most of them were in the later years of his time here though and to be honest at the time he tried to go to Portsmouth things were looking bad at the club. Not that I'm defending him. I still think he's a useless fat arsed get.

I just think Milner is as bad even worse.

This

[Mazrim]

I'm in agreement with Risso on this matter.
If MON plays his cards right we'll come out of this a lot better off.

Over to you, MON.
