So if it was Milner's decision to leave, how could anyone at the club be at fault. He wanted a wage rise that, in the opinion of many people, he did not deserve.

It is possible that KK wanted Milner to stay, yet thought Villas offer was too good to refuse and the club made a decision to sell. Of course thats just stupid.

I don't think you would find many people who wouldn't want him in our side. Palacios anarl.

Oooo a slapped wrist from the spelling police.

I'd have Matt Derbyshire at SJP. Very talented lad.

Who's laughing now Dave?

Dropped Defoe out of my dream team because it wasn't happening for Pompey. Bugger.

How many times over the past week have you heard the phrase, "He's one of their best players"? Infuriating.

I agree with all of that and i rate Martins. He was the victim of poor management. We can talk all day about whether we should be loaning players and the implications of it but if this Gonzalez is good enough, get him here. If after a year this guy has had a storming season, we would be in a strong position to get him long term. If he's shite, no loss.

That is absolutely stupid.

Willy McKay was never mentioned when Zayatte was linked with us. It said his agent was Roger Boli(?). Bit of a strange one. On about Atouba mate.

So Geremi is fit then?

Is Duff in the squad? That wouldn't be a bad side IMO.

I have no problem with that. At least Beye will beat Clichy more than Milner.

In that case who the fuck is going to play in midfield, unless of course, oh no, Smiths not going to play?

No chance that Barton will start IMO. I reckon he will make the bench. Given Beye Taylor Coloccini Enrique Butt Guthrie Geremi N'Zogbia Jonas Owen

Getting him on loan according to David Craig, although it's worth pointing out that he is Oliver's SSN mouthpiece. In fact if i didn't know any better, he was speaking from his office.

If Enrique hadn't created this thread then i would have. Hearing KK talk cheers me up.

I love that interview because it rids me of any worries. In another thread i said i didn't think we would get anyone in before the deadline. Now i believe we will get 2 as well as this lad that has been training with us. Not only that but KK's (two are down the line) comment is blatently in reference to what wise etc have told him.

There is so much i disagree with i don't know where to start.

You are right but that doesn't mean the club is to blame. Milner handed in the request.

How are you lot for strikers? Ameobi- 6m Smith- 8m

Milners worth about 5m, to get close to 10 would be an absolute raping. It will have been said many times on this thread but i will say it again we need to find a replacement.

Palvlucenko- Spurs Berbatov- Man Utd Saha- Everton Bit of a merrigo round going on, as well as Milner to Villa and Riera to Liverpool. There may be enough going on there to speed up our progress.
