The Milner Novela... Final episode page 296

[pauliewalnuts]

I've got five of your British pounds right here that says that if we sell Milner, Martin will buy Jenas this summer.

[Mazrim]

All this shite about not trusting MON with the money. Who bought Milner then? Who bought Young? Are they not being touted around for several times what he paid for them?

And I guarantee you now, we'll have the same thing with Delph in a few years.

That's three out of around 20. Even pignose tried to sign James. Two years previously and he could have got him for 3.5mil, if Doug had given him the funds. It was no great feat buying him. I do agree with you on Ashley Young though. No one was interested and MON took a gamble. That was definately his best foray into the transfer market. And bloody hell: he did it in January.

They're not the only transfers he's made that have been wise. Come of it man. He bought one of the best defences in the league for less than what Man City paid for Lescott. There have been some dodgy ones too but EVERY manager has made those, even the very best.

I have no qualms about MON spending the money.

[Greg N'Ash]

Jenas/Keane  double swoop :0(((

[Namlod]

I don't think it the player MON would buy with £24m + that scares me, he has brought in more good players than bad. The issue I have is he doesn't play them hence they are a complete waste of money.

Done.

If I lose I will also vomit my stomach lining up.

[Concrete John]

The only deal I would take is one involving players. I just don't trust MON with 24mil+. Just imagine how Moyes or Hodgson would spend that kind of money.

Yeah - as others have said I wouldn't want him blowing it on that donkey Zamora!

Martin likes his donkeys too though.

Although I'm sure we'd disagree on that, why use Hodgson as an example of who'd spend the money better, when he's built his side around a striker most of us don't want, but are accusing Martin of being after, hence the reason why he would NOT spend it well, despite not a shred of evidence to suggest he is?

O'Neill might sign Zamora = bad transfer dealer
Hodgson did sign Zamora = good transfer dealer

If you want us to sign Zamora then your point has merit, otherwise I'm afraid it's nonsense!

You're on.

I'll bring a bucket for the vom.

[Shrek]

You can't compare fulhams situation to the millions and millions Villa have spent.

Hodgson has showed how to spend wisley on a budget and use his squad 'effectivly'.

[Shrek]

I've heard What Milner has said and I get the impression he is looking too move.

I just hope we can get some players instead of cash.

[mcgrath_85]

Well I do Mazrim,
I look at Sidwell, Heskey, Salifou, Davies, Downing, Shorey, Reo Coker, Harewood, Knight, Routledge.

I agree he's made good signings but here outnumbered by the bad ones. And yes we do have a very solid defence at the minute but it took him 3 years and a lot of money to get it right.

In regards to Hodgson: I just think he would spend 24 mil+ more wisely than MON. I certainly don't want us to sign Bobby Zamora. Heskey, Carew and Marlon will suffice.

[Phil from the upper holte]

Its either him or Huddlestone

[Concrete John]

As Mazrim said earlier, I really don't get this 'MON won't spend it wisely' idiocy we keep seeing repeated.  Why do people always think of the poor players he's signed, and I admit there are some, but not the fact we'll at least double our money on Milner, that we also would on Ash, plus the likes of Carew, Collins, Dunne and Warnock?  What about Delph who most of us are impressed by and think will prove a bargain?

It honestly baffles me!!

[Greg N'Ash]

Only thing worse than selling milner is using the money to buy spurs' reserves :0(

[mcgrath_85]

His bad signings outweigh the good ones or at best are on par. I don't believe this is a good ratio for one of the apparantly best managers in the game. That's all. Going back to the point: I would want players coming in if Milner were to go.

I'm sure every Spurs player would prefer the chance to play for his worthiness than the European Cup wouldn't they.

Yet another O'Neill can do no wrong in the transfer market thread. Always worth a good laugh
