The Milner Novela... Final episode page 296

I’m feeling fairly relived that he’s off to be honest and little excited at the prospect of having another £20-25 million in the transfer pot, possibly with Ireland included and the quality players we’ll be able to bring in with it.

Snap.

[Mazrim]

Really though, what is the fucking point?

The point is we come out better off. Then we go and win something, or try.

[PaulTheVillan]

I'm going to boo the ******.

Do we, though?

Replacing our better players takes energy and effort, when we should be replacing the not-so-good players to kick on.

Doesn't mean you should give up. Its what the manager is paid millions to do anyway.

Of course we don't give up, but the original post suggested we come out of it better off.

It's not really that simple.

We don't though. We lose our better players and will undoubtedly sign someone not as good.

Man City go out and buy whoever they want and in a couple of seasons they win the league.

I seem to recall a cheat on one of the Champ Man where you just had unlimited money and it just meant you could buy whoever you wanted and so win everything. I didn't see the point of doing that in the game, and I don't see the point of Man City doing it now.

I know we do it to other clubs (buy their better players), but it's shit when it happens to you. Having seen it from both sides, there definitely needs to be a change in football in general.

Milner has really pissed me off. He was average on the right of midfield, A.Young shits all over him in that position. We moved him into the middle and contributed to him becoming the player he is and now he's fucking off. twat.

[Walmley_Villa]

Glad it wll be soon resolved. Have little respect for Miner considering what Villa and MoN have done for him. He will be a benchwarming multi-millionaire, hope he's happy.

Mods: Sorry about the new thread, thought that as it was news rather than speculation it might deserve one. I stand corrected.

Its not ideal and it would be nice to tell them to shove it, but its not too hard to imagine us doing better with that money than just keeping Milner. He is replaceable and we could add more quality besides with that kind of money.
Thats the crux though. Using the money well. Dont do that and its a waste of time.

[TimTheVillain]

To coin an old and recently reserected phrase fom Porky parry ' football's going to hell in a handcart'.

Being able to buy anyone on the planet cannot be healthy for the game.

I think if we get our hands on Ireland and then a quality defensive minded player like Flamini, then we’ll have improved on Milner, increased the quality and depth of the squad, while still having something like £25-30 million left over from the transfer/sponsorship/Milner money to go on other quality additions.

Hence why I’m excited, as I think we’d be more likely to qualify for the CL or win a trophy than we were at the start of last season.

Wish him well, footballers come and go, but I liked this one more than most. Nothing is forever. Just make sure you spend the money well Mr O'Neill, you will do well to find another James Milner.
