Guest Geordiesned Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 We desperately, desperately need a right midfielder, and we've got 72 hours to find one. That's why we're letting you financially bumrape us for him. Nah, haven't you read the thread, it's a piece of piss to find someone much better and cheaper (fee & wages) than Milner. My God you are right...we should never have let Milner go for even £20million !!! He is irreplaceable!!!! Well if we don't get someone in before the transfer window closes then, erm, yes, he is. Well since he wasn't playing at the end of last season through injury, he clearly isn't. Yep you're right, Geremi or Barton are the answer. (since they're the ones who replaced him at the end of last season) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 If we don't get a replacement for Milner in time, the board and management wont be to blame, it will be James Milner, Aston Villa and the PFA at fault. Why Villa? They heard that a player they wanted was officaly put on the transfer list by his club due to his request and signed him, they've done nothing wrong imo. They blatantly tapped him up.

madras Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 If we don't get a replacement for Milner in time, the board and management wont be to blame, it will be James Milner, Aston Villa and the PFA at fault. wrong. it's a risk about how much they feel the need to replace him straight away up against getting over the top cash for a player (jonas,germei,duff can all play there) but the club could have said no.(however if 12mill is true i hope they don't say no). there is no "fault". the situation has been brought about by greed though.

TRon Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Last season Milner contributed a grand total of two assists to Newcastle - fewer than renowned creator Joey Barton - and boasted a cross completion rate of just 18.39% - worse than ace flankers Stephen Hunt, Eddie Lewis and George McCartney. Newcastle won a mere 24% of the matches in which Milner featured, compared to 44% of those in which he didn't play. i'll just post this from the guardian's fiver for a bit of perspective! 12m....ba ha ha Fuck me, talk about irreplaceable. How are we going to survive this tragedy?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Even Milner lovers like me has to admit that 12m is purely a robbery, an open rape, assassination, sexual discrimination etc blah blah blah any kind of crime you can think off. Jonas right, NZogbia left, Enrique LB, Kazenga as winger backup, try to find a player who can play as winger and striker---everything solved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day it's Newcastle's decision to sell regardless of what Milner wants. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know about that... although i congratulate the board for getting a hefty fee for the player; if it is true that they have known about his desire to leave (which i can imagine is probably true), then they realy should have had something sorted by now. Let's hope they've got a Larsson or a Lennon waiting to come in as soon as the Milner deal is done - if not, then we're in a bit of trouble. Milner is average but an important member of the squad, no doubt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people think as we have £12 million for a player (if that figure is correct, if it goes through and minus the money to be passed onto Leeds) then we'll automatically sign a better player despite the fact we aren't in Europe and once a player of such stature becomes available the clubs who are willing to pay greater wages will join the chase.
