Good point there. I remember being massively unimpressed when we spent £12 million on Milner.
Really?
I think back to that as a transfer pretty much nobody had any qualms about, I remember only universal joy that we were bringing him back.
Think it was just the price, 12m in those days was our record transfer fee which shows how quickly things have changed. Now that gets you Trez as a squad player.
Can also remember this yearning for Shaun Wright Phillips around the time from a few on here and elsewhere although he was already in semi retirement at that stage so one we actually dodged.
