Guest Geordiesned Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I wonder what King Kev's mood will be like in today's Press Conference? Theres a press conference? Pre-match press conference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest toonlass Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Very disapointed at the news. Why didnt we try harder to keep him? Theres only a few more days left of the window and I doubt we'll sign a replacement. Fair enough, we have got £10 million for him, but we have also lost one of our best players. Why do people keep saying he was one of our best players? they mistake graft for class Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 How will Keegan deal with "he's the last player me or the owner want to sell" issue? He must have known something was up when he said this. Maybe Keegan didn't want to sell him but Ashley did. Who knows - we now need some fast dealing and as Keegan says players who are better than we already have. We didn't want to sell him, he handed in a written transfer request. The price quoted would also prove that we didn't really want to sell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Silly Villa fans think that is a good fee my only worry is how late we have done the deal, but they have paid way over the odds for a player with no end product.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 He is not worth £12 million (if that is the fee) but then again the market is ridiculously over-priced at the minute. I love his attitude and he is a model pro both on and off the pitch. As has been mentioned, his end product leaves a lot to be desired from the flank but I've said for ages that I'd like to see him up top, where he started out, as he is a very intelligent player. 37 under 21 caps tells you he is not s**** - he is only 22 so will improve. I have a feeling this one will come back to bite us on the balls, sadly - I hope I am wrong! We have to bring new bodies in by Monday, its an absolute must we do. I wonder what King Kev's mood will be like in today's Press Conference? It'll be interesting to see after his comments last week that Milner was the last person that both him and Ashley wanted to see leave NUFC. Agree with all this - waiting to see what happens by Monday, and if there are no more decent arrivals, its a bad deal 12m or no 12m(its actually only 8-9 anyway..)

We haven't lost one of our best players. He's been in around the first team safely for the last three years without ever becoming a rock of our team. Occasionally he produces a good goal or an assist, but by and large he's pretty average. I only care about his depature from a lack of squad depth point of view. I don't like Geremi either but he's more effective as a winger. Fair enough Milner has been handy so far as a support striker but when everyone is fit he wouldn't play there. Even if we don't sign a replacement I won't be losing any sleep. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch Milner/Villa do well this season now and finish above us, not shocked if he has a blinder for them against us at all. I really hope we have 2-3 top quality in coming players or with inevitable injuries we are going to be fucked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offence but if you cannot see the downside of how late in the window it is, and how small our sqaad already is, then you are the mong. However, the upsides do outweigh the downsides, but that doesn't mean there isn't any. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was one of our best players.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Which games have you been watching? We were far better last season with him not in the team. One good game in 10 does not make you one of our best players. FFS. Jonas, Zoggy, Geremi and Barton are better than Milner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
