Toure - is he a good toure?

[jwarry]

Toure hooray hooray oh
not that one

I'm gonna hum this tune forever.

How much do you think it is going to take to force Blues into selling Demarai Gray? Looks a pretty exciting young player.

To us? Probably not much less than it'll take to tempt Randy into selling!

[wolfman999]

would it not be better/easier for Milner to just have his own dedicated thread?

I've never quite understood the adoration that Milner commands, a player who has broken his contract at every club up to now as opposed to Barry who was a loyal servant of our club but always gets a dogs abuse every time he returns

[Tom_Mc9?]

Isn't Milner out of contract in the summer? I'm over the Barry thing now, but I'd imagine it was that poorly-advised newspaper article that did it. Plus I just think he's a little bit of a knob.

At least Barry was honest. Milner was snide the way he left the club.

I think Blose are being unfair to the player by repeatedly turning down Bournemouth's offers. If the guy wants to join the bigger club they should let him go :-)

Why was he snidey about it?

[PeterWithesShin]

How was Milner snide? Citeh bid, we accept the bid, Milner wants to leave. Isn't that the same as the majority of football transfers?

[Steve67]

Milner ran his nuts off for Villa, and as midlanders we love hard working players. Barry was classy. Both deserve respect for coming from a time when we were good to watch and competitive, comparable with some of the better teams around us. Not the shower of shit we are currently served.

[PeterWithesShin]

Surely doing a 2 page personal ad in the NOTW behind our backs, begging to be allowed to sign for Liverpool while still contracted to us is a lot more snidey?

Barry was enemy number one under O'Leary. The amount of people slagging him off at away games was unreal. I can remember losing to Sheffield United away in the cup under Dolly and Barry scored a decent goal, the bloke stood near us who had been slagging him off all game thus far refused to celebrate. Things change, including opinions, such as Barry's "10 good years".

[brian green]

There was nothing snidey about James Milner.   The difference between him and Barry is that I think given the chance Milner would come back Barry would not.
