mrmojorisin75 Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Stats don't lie. Yup. Like our best run last season happened when Milner was out of the team. Bit harsh, think it was more the coinciding of Smith not being in the team... Think he's worth a go there, more than anything because i can't really see a great deal of attacking midfield options on our current budget. Be interesting to see if Keegan pulls someone out the bag though... tried ruining this thread just before but my PC crashed when i tried to post, anyway the shortened version is: 18m "bid" for luca modric to start the summer, 2 months later we're comverting James Milner to a CM talk about lowering expectations Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PRL Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 tried ruining this thread just before but my PC crashed when i tried to post Certainly wasn't having a dig at you, was just cruising through a few of the threads and everything seemed to be going down the same path. Looking at the above line, I think you actually agree with me. But fair play, totally understand it's your view and it's a message forum designed for people voicing opinion...You add a lot more value than me as i say a collective amount of fuck all 90% of the time - would rather be reading your views than none at all, just be nice to have a topic without some of the backbiting.

James Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 When are people going to learn that the fee paid for a player has little connection to the player's actual ability? You'd make a terrible Arsenal fan Mr. Mojo. As far as we know, Keegan may feel that with Guthrie, he has uncovered a player who can become a star midfielder in the Premier League.

Yes, considering you spent the whole of last summer complaining about the club signing older players rather than investing in youth ala Sir Bobby. eh? you're brilliant, i could talk to you all day man i think guthrie might turn out to be an excellent buy, and who knows milner might make a good CM and spiderman a great winger for the club doesn't change the fact that expectations will have changed does it? are you telling me that after we were bought out by a billionaire and he had a year to settle in then throw the modric bid in you expected we might be facing the proposition of milner as a CM? factor in increased TV money to that as well firmly believe in youth as i did last year too when i was "whinging" - spurs seem to as well but they don't seem to mind paying for it do they?
