If the silly season is already this far gone at the beginning of June, where will we be by the time the season starts????

 

Gazza to re-sign on a 5 year deal?

I would take 10 million for him IF and it's a big IF we can find a resplacement because the squad is looking worryingly thin.

 

I honestly wouldn't take a penny less than 10 million though, in today crazy transfer market, I season premiership player (he's made a hell of a lot appearances) who is still what 22 ? With a great record for the Under 21's. We are under no pressure to sell, he's on a long contract. Liverpool and Villa interest, Liverpool valuing Crouch on the last year of his contract at 15 mill.

Lets screw other clubs like they screw us for a change.

Thats a tough one, he is a cracking young player and a real good lad but thats a good price and if KK is planning on sticking with the 4-3-3 then Milner does not really fit into that kind of formation, if we can get SWP for around that price then maybe we should consider it, SWP is much more suited to a 4-3-3.

 

lol no it isn't.

Damn. Now Liverpool will be forced to give us £10m. That'll teach them...

Suprised Liverpool are in for him he certainly isnt the player to help them win the league

 

10 million would be great money for him but would be worried if he went as we would be weakening our already weak squad

i dunno like, fills me with dread every time i see geremi approach that corner flag, rarely seems to get beyond the first man. he was even worse for doing it when he was captain, every throw / free kick / corner.

 

:lol:

If they're desperate enough to give us £10m...they'll probably agree to give us 12.

 

So let's ask them for 15 :pow:

Liverpool offer unknown teen for Milner

Jun 7 2008 by Alan Oliver, Evening Chronicle

 

NEWCASTLE United are furious with Liverpool after they offered three “nonentities” in part-exchange for winger James Milner.

 

United have found themselves in an identical situation to Aston Villa when Martin O'Neill went ballistic after Rafael Benitez tried the same trick with them in a bid to lure Gareth Barry to Anfield.

 

O'Neill never went public with the players he was offered by Liverpool, but the Chronicle can reveal that Benitez has dangled 19-year-old defenders Emiliano Insua and Jack Hobbs in front of United.

 

The third player was so insignificant that my St James’s Park source could not even recall his name – and needless to say United will not be biting.

 

Insua is an Argentinian who was signed from Nobby Solano’s old club Boca Juniors, while Hobbs has been on loan at Scunthorpe since the January transfer window.

 

It’s not that long ago that Liverpool were trailing in the wake of a Sir Bobby Robson-inspired United, and the feeling at St James’s Park is that the Anfield club have a nerve to offer three players who are presumably surplus to requirements for Milner.

 

If Benitez had put Peter Crouch in the frame in part-exchange for their England Under-21 international, then United would at least have been prepared to listen.

 

Even Norwegian left-back John Arne Riise, whose Liverpool stock has slumped since his disastrous own goal against Chelsea in the semi-final of the Champions League at Anfield, would have brought a semblance of interest.

 

Riise is expected to leave Merseyside in the next month and it seemed a fair bet that Kevin Keegan could have been interested.

 

Keegan told me before the end of the season that with Spaniard Jose Enrique as his only left-back, he would be on the lookout for another one in the summer.

 

But that was before Keegan’s showdown meeting with Mike Ashley.

 

Indeed, all the talk among football agents is that if any transfer business is to be done with United, it will be done through director of football Dennis Wise and vice-president (player recruitment) Tony Jimenez and not the manager.
