Richard Crisp, Dean Spink, Lee Turnbull..........Can we not just move on and trust the manager to find players without harking back to the olden days. As for Gareth Barry he's like a bag of frozen prawns that have been left for six hours on a sun facing windowsill from 12:00pm in June......Ooorf.

Milner should have waited and gone and played in the centre at United as I am convinced 6 more months in the form he was in would have cemented him as a central midfield player, not a utility wide man.

Barry has had a good career at City, and all three of Milner, Barry and Young were justified in leaving.

Amusingly, Downing could actually be the most effective for us at the moment, as creating for Benteke and Bent would be something he would be very effective at.

I was watching Young in a match the other day, and I was thinking how he hadn't really kicked on since joining Man U.
I figured that with less defending to do his attacking quality might improve whereas it's possible his hardworking ethic is better suited to a Villa size club.

Only would want Milner out of the four on offer...

Young has been hooked in the last two matches and has been found out as not the player he thinks he is
Barry far too slow...looks better with better players around him...a luxury we don't have at the moment
Downing is................ well just Downing

Milner would be a sound central midfield addition for us....what a shame

oh and Cahill too
