simon23 said:swp or jonno on the right in that formation are both better options
the only plus point on milner is that his crossing is better...but thats it
swp is better running at people, is more likely to get in behind the defence and is equally (if not better) at teh defensive side of the game...he is also a better plyer to have when playing ont he break
AJ is better than milner at cutting inside and can beat a man as well
we dont need milner for the wing and we dont need him centrally as the players we have either injured or fit in the current squad are better....id also rather have bellamy or silva on the left than milner
the players in the centre
dejong....much better defensively so miler wont be taking that role....
yaya...much better box to box and at dominating a midfield...so we dont need milner for that role
silva/robinho/tevez/ireland all better at the "playing in the hole" role.....
and if MJ can get his fitness back he is at least the level of milner (or was before he got all these injuries)
milner is not required unless we are going to get rid of any of the above and in my opinion all are better than milner at their respective roles
the only thing milner is bettre at than anyone we have is delivering a cross.....be much cheaper to train adam johnson to deliver a cross properly (or any of the other players for that matter)
and if sneider is vailabe at around the same price....buy him he is better than milner as well
Couldn't agree more. Though the fact is that Stevie isn't going to be guarenteed a game every week unless he pulls out the form from the season before last. That would be the same anywhere he goes. Hopefully with all the new signing we willl be able to play a style to accomodate him.
I'd rather give Ireland & Jonno a chance than waste £25mil on Milner.
