He's a an average grafter who scored most of his goals against teams in the bottom 5 positions of the league. He will do fuck all to help our team push on for a title push as he's nowhere near a top 4 club player. Dozens of other midfielders I'd prefer over him and would come at a far cheaper prize.
Given that we dropped points against 4 of the bottom 5 last season, perhaps that's not such a bad thing.
so you wont be supporting him then????macmanson said:ali_bee said:Given that we dropped points against 4 of the bottom 5 last season, perhaps that's not such a bad thing.
Milner was also the team's penalty taker so his goals are even that more skewed. This guy will generate fuck all for us from the midfield. He goes missing in the big games. Even Villa fans will tell you that.

At the moment money is NOT an object so why are we slating off that Milner is NOT worth this,that or the other ?
He`s worth what the manager thinks.
Graham Dorrans from WBA would be a cheaper (less than 10m probably) and better buy in my opinion. Had an outstanding year in the championship with 13 goals and 19 assists in 42 games. Just like AJ, I think he'd easily adapt to the premier league. Danny Rose from Tottenham looks like a good prospect mid who can play all mid positions but excels at the wing. An England U21 as well. I'd even prefer David Bentley over Milner.
No, money is not an object for us at the moment but pride and reputation is. If this deal goes through, we'll have every club in the world believing they can hold us over a barrell and force us to pay 2 times what a player is worth. Milner is simply not worth the amount of money + players being talked about. It's a ridiculous deal we should have walked away from after the 20m bid was turned down.

lol!! how long have you been a blue mate??macmanson said:The Fixer said:Have to trust city/Bobby on this one.
I find this the most annoying quote on the Bluemoon Forum. I do not have to trust Bobby on this one or any other decision. Trust is not demanded but earned and Mancini has done nothing onfield since he arrived at City to earn my trust yet.
