A slight change of tack here but I would be very surprised if Onouha is at Man Citeh next season.


Me too, he's in the 'don't shift many shirts in China' bracket.

I honestly wouldn't trust MON to spend the proceeds wisely.


Yes, it's not like he could find a young player at a struggling club and within two years change his position, get him to be a certainty for the World Cup and at least double his transfer value.


For every Milner theres two or three duffers though, I agree with you Mark.

Only players that are realistic and attractive targets from Man City are Ireland and either Richards or Onouha.

If Man U did come in for him, how about a part swap for Scholes?  If we can't find an immediate replacement for Milner then he could come in useful.

By the manager's admission (today) you could list Luke Young, Sidwell, NRC, Davies, Shorey, and Beye.

By the managers admission.... I think that says something about where he does want to take the team, and its forward.  NRC, Beye and Luke Young have often been lauded as great players on these pages, yet our manager wants to move on.  I thought Davies may be one for the future, and although not the player I saw at Reading, I dont think Sidwell is a duffer.  Shorey is no duffer either, straight, good player, just not up to our standard.

Quite.
Said players cost £27m-ish.
No further questions your honour.

You could say that.

You could also say that Reo-Coker and Davies are victims of the side improving around them, and have become surplus as a result.

And then you would also have to count the 'non-duds', namely Friedel, Cuellar, Collins, Dunne, Warnock, Young, Delph (given time) and the boy Milner himself.

And then you would have to say that 2-3 duds for every one good 'un was a load of cock.

Ireland and £15m would be my guess.

then you'd have to  add salifou, knight, Heskey,  Downing, Maloney, Routledge, Carson, Harewood to the above and you think no maybe its not..
