Whoever said can we play Milner in central mid for a while, is it really that stupid??? He was incredible for Villa in that position when we bought him. Really outstanding.
Everyone will say he's not what we are after, limited ability, etc etc. But we always play him out of position. England always play him out of position. Because he's so versatile that's what happens. We've tried him in central mid a couple of times and once he was pretty useless and one time I do remember him doing really well and everyone commenting on how great he was back in his preferred position. But we never stick at it. It's not surprising if a player doesn't look fantastic if we give him 20 mins here and there or play him in a different position every week.
Honestly, if we stuck him alongside Fern for half a dozen games, people would be amazed just how good he was.

He's single-handedly taken the gloss off our title win, he's besmirched his own reputation and he'll be a figure of fun for all opposition supporters next season if he does stay.
This whole incident is surely underpinned by one thing - whisperings from the Nou Camp. And as you say, with shades of Balotelli, he clearly thinks the only way to realise that move is to drive down his price by acting like a complete prat.
It's not taken the gloss off for me. It will either blow over or he'll go. If he goes, there will be plenty of life after Yaya.

You're saying that Yaya is the black Rooney?OxBlue said:I like Yaya, and think he's got a least another season or two right at the top of his game, but his stock will get no higher than the season just gone and he's now 31, it may be a case that City do want to cash in on him?
As rich as we are, with ffp in mind we have an asset that will only lose value over the next couple of seasons, think of utd with Rooney, they should of got shot of him after he peaked.
