The Milner Novela... Final episode page 296

[Toronto Villa]

Funny. The weekend Milner will finally force his move to Man City, Arteta signs a new 5 year contract at Everton. Given his age and the financial restrictions ate Everton, you would think someone like Arteta might look to manufacture a move away. Good to see a teeny bit of loyalty and appreciation still exists amongst some players. He is a brilliant player.

I just chucked £25 quid on Ireland to join at 2/5 so I hope this goes through ok now !

The cynic in me says that Arteta's agent knows Fabregas is staying, Milner is going so no bids coming from Man City or Arsenal.

[TheSandman]

It's not that Ireland is better player it is that he is closer to what we need than Milner. If we get the right team around him we will be better for having Ireland than Milner.

I think if he struggles there it will prove to be a bad move and what's to say when they achieve CL football that they won't find and replace him with a better player?

[Monty]

Agreed Sandman. It may also be that Milner is closer to what City need than Ireland, so it's one of those rare occasions where all parties are sufficiently satisfied that a swap actually happens.

i'd swap Barton for NRC then we would have a proper footballer in the midfield as well as a good tackler, as well as a complete bell end,
 but i could put up with the last bit

Barton should not be anywhere near a football at all, let alone the greatest club in the world.

Surely blose is the only team he could go to.   A midfield of Barton, Bowyer and Ferguson - you couldn't get 3 bigger ****** in the same place at the same time.

As a former Bookie, 2/5 seems a good price.  I'll be very suprised if he doesn't.

I know contracts don't mean much, but the deal is for 5 years. I don't think he even needed to sign a new contract but did anyway. It gives Everton that much security in getting a fee in the future. You may be right, and he'll end up going next summer, but Everton will pick a sizeable transfer fee regardless.

Savage?

Yeah he is a prick.  However, compared to Barton, hes Jesus.

[sfx412]

As you say, he breaks up play, he's strong, he's great driving forward - but he can't pass accurately. That would be my worry about NRC

I don't agree.

In the right circumstances he can pass fine, as I'm sure his next manager will show.

Pretty sure I once saw Dawn French, Jo Brand and John Leslie on the same tv chat-show sofa.

Well according to "City Chris",we have "less than zero chance" of signing "Stevie"

[lovejoy]

I'm not sure Stephen Irelands the full ticket. How is his Gran?

[Holtenderinthesky]

I am struggling to believe that Ireland is part of the deal.  I reckon he'll stay at City and we'll get Onouha or just cash with add ons and incentives.  The only people talking about Ireland are us lot, even the media only give him a slight mention in relation to the Milner deal saying that we "could" look to someone like Ireland as a makeweight.  Nowhere have I seen anything more solid than that unfortunately.  Hope I'm wrong though, he'd be a cracking signing imo. Can't see it.
