The Milner Novela... Final episode page 296

[TheSandman]

The only thing that worries me about Ireland (the player not the country) is that he's completely Radio Rental.
I believe he retired from international football because the other players took the piss out of his "hair".
and as we all know a dressing room is the ultimate piss take enviroment.

any thoughts on how he may fit in gentlemen?

I heard that the hair related piss take for Ireland wasn't just verbals, there was some really unpleasant stuff going on.

Now I might be wrong but didn't they try to flush his head down the toilet or try and pull his wig off or something like that? I've forgotten the exact details.

And didn't Staunton who was ROI manager at the time know and allow it to happen?

[themossman]

I'm not fussed if he's mad either. All the best footballers are. And we've got plenty of honest workmanlike players who would never get in the papers, so one total tool won't hurt as long as he can do it on the pitch.

I think it'll be good business to get Ireland for about £8M. We should play hard ball and include Wright-Phillips as well for about £10M leaving money to get Robbie Keane. If they want Milner that badly we should surely dictate who comes in the opposite direction?

I think enough hardball has been played. We need to get this done quickly and concentrate on the future. This looks to have happened.

Is £16.5m + Ireland not hardball enough??!!

I strong disagree Ireland plus £18-20 million is a much better deal than any involving Wright-Phillips.

So Ashley Young on the left and SWP on  the right wing is no good then?

Not in my opinion, I don't rate Wright-Phillips at all, I'd rather give Albrigton a go. I rate Downing over Wright-Phillips aswell. He's not needed.

Wright-Phillips is a poor player. No end product at all.

Ashley Young on the left and Marc Albrighton on the right would be even better and we don't need to pay anything for that.

[D.boy]

I agree with Dave. SWP is vastly overrated except when he plays against us.

[BILL DE VALL]

i don't think we really need another winger-what we need in my opinion is a central midfielder who can operate with/replace Petrov
one that COULD tackle his nan in a cupboard/head the ball/pass it FORWARD

Wright-Phillips is a poor player. No end product at all.

Against us his end product tends to end up in the back of the net.

So Ashley Young on the left and SWP on  the right wing is no good then?

Pretty much, yeah.

Marc Albrighton is indeed a fine prospect, but maybe only for 10-15 games. SWP would be great for us with that bit more experience and he's certainly lightning quick. We will need to bolster the squad after MON has cut it to the bone again - only one left back with Shorey on his way and Freddie Bouma released!

[Villafirst]

Pretty much, yeah.

So Ashley Young is no good then according to you?
