junkhead Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 well done, Kevin.. a brilliant deal even if we don't buy a direct replacement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Swift Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Lennon will replace him and he's much better than Milner. What has Milner got that Lennon hasn't? Pace? Experience? Versatility? Crossing ability? They're both weak and inconsistent in the shooting department, notoriously bad at crossing and haven't improved in the past couple of years. Only Lennon was an England international (and one who did well!) and has got a fuck load of pace, which would help our team a lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Short and Curlies Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Gonna get slaughtered for this... I'm assuming that KK et al have someone in mind to replace Milner who they may not have moved for before the transfer went through (i.e. on top of their main targets). But assuming they can't get their man in before Monday (but they have secured their other targets) would anyone welcome Nobby back for his trilogy on a short term basis until Jan? He's without a club and despite wanting to move to London to be close to his kids I'm sure he would come back as a squad man for 3 months. Obviously I'm hoping for a younger signing who we can look to long term (as I'm sure the board are looking at), but if we need a stop gap until Jan we could do worse He signed for some Greek side last week. Oh well, back to the drawing board Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouldy_uk Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Keegan: It was my decision to sell Milner KEVIN Keegan says he sold James Milner in order to move the club forward following the winger's sale to Aston Villa. Milner is set to sign a four year contract at Villa Park and while KK understands the disappointment of any Toon fans who are sad to see him go he is looking to strengthen before Monday's transfer deadline. Keegan said today: "Obviously James is not a player you would want to sell. "I would like to say though that it was my my decision to sell him. "We got an offer that was good value and if you look into the next two or three days I wouldn't have sold him unless I knew I could move the club forward. "We have a good chance of getting three or four players in before the deadline. "I wish James the best for the future. "It's right for everybody and people shouldn't think anything bad of him, he has done nothing wrong. "You have to remember he hasn't sulked even when he was in the car park at Villa two years ago and then told to turn around. "We have four or five other irons in the fire, two or three who I am seeing where we go with." http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/nufc/newcastle-united-news/2008/08/29/keegan-it-was-my-decision-to-sell-milner-72703-21633991/ God that feels good.
