ShearMagic Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Is he actually going to Liverpool or is this another long bullshit thread about a transfer that's not going to happen? Well, a few of the lads on RAWK reckon he's in talks with them at the moment. They might just be stirring the pot though. No idea why it is they're interested in him, he's got one thing about him that I like, and that's that he tries hard. Unfortunately that's just not enough to be a good player (see Smith), and considering they're rumoured to be giving us 7m for him, I'm over the moon. But yeah, probably won't even happen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alan Shearer 9 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Smith doesn't even try hard anymore, he just runs around with a grin on his face that says, "I'm getting paid 50k a week for this". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicago_shearer Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Speaking as someone who doesn't rate Milner at all, I think it would be stupid to sell him unless we have a massive July transfer season lined up. We might actually need a few players in the squad if we want to be playing football for 10 months of the Premiership season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we sign all the other players we need for the squad, we only need about 6. Never played Football Manager have you!? Loser! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Milners' to much of a lightweight to play in the middle, even more so if KK wants to play a 4-3-3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I have seen much more lightweight players in the middle of the park. I reckon 4-3-3 would be perfect for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't understand why so many people don't, but I won't get into it. Agree with thewellander on this one. Milner is a very good young player as is Taylor imo. Milner is hardworking, great attitude, not as slow as some idiots make out, two footed, very versatile, skillfull, not injury prone, has a good shot on him. We should deffo keep him, we do not have enough players as it is and i can't be arsed to argue with the anti milner brigade, some of which i suspect are mackems mischief making. Milner is very versatile and could play in many roles 433 included. Hopefully we are not too desprerate for money at the moment that we have to sell our best youngsters, i hope Keegan tells liverpool where to go. Smith, Viduka, Cacapa and Duff should be got rid of, long before the likes of Milner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 When i look at young players, i always think to myself "how can they improve?". Right now Milner is a hard working, decent, versitile midfield player, my main beef is that i don't think he will improve greatly in his career. I don't see him getting any quicker or any stronger now, which would be the biggest assest to his game. I think if Liverpool gave us 6-8m for Milner i'd let him go. Might be worth getting Benayoun into the bargain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Shirley it would be more likely for Bentley to go to Liverpool and Blackburn to use some of the money to buy Milner. Seems more to everyones level tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 The have knocked back a £15mill bid for Bentley, no one is going to pay more than that for him.. I'd give them 15.5m like Your right though, there being either extremely silly or very clever. Since McCarthy doesn't seem to be getting the attention anymore i'd stick a bid in for him.

If we could get him plus a couple of million for Milner I'd snap their hands off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we could get him plus a couple of million for Milner I'd snap their hands off. My only problem would be that Benayoun would be a "stop gap" albeit a very good one. Simply because although he's a good player, i don't think he excells in any position, which wouldn't make him one for the future. However, he offers more than Milner, in almost every aspect of his game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good business sense to let him go. I honestly can't see why you rate him so highly. Is it something to do with your love of Amdy Faye? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 And with Milner’s international colleague and big pal Steven Taylor near to putting his signature on a new deal, it’s just the news United fans want to hear. Well, one of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
