PRL Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Yep, in fairness there was a shedload of people saying that people should shut up moaning until after September 1st and that then we would see the true Newcastle United for the season ahead (even KK, in fact!). Well the true Newcastle United has a smaller squad than last year, no manager, risks losing it's most promising player for a number of months and is pretty much up shits creek. Whilst Ashley may not have injured the player, selling Milner and leaving pretty much fuck all cover for Jonas has, albeit unfortunately, turned into another glaring error. If we aren't allowed to moan now when threatened with a midfield of Zog - Butt - Guthrie - Geremi / Duff then when are we?! I do try and be positive most of the time but right now it all looks pretty bleak. I really hope the team turns up on Saturday and does a job on Hull or i fear a riot. If only Keegan hadn't agreed to sell Milner Having been promised a replacement... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobby_solano Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 i'm guessing that, because owen didn't really seem to want to come here in the first place, whereas jonas (as far as we're informed) bought out his contract to actually come here. i might be wrong like...

tmonkey Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Based on last season, do people on here honestly believe Milner would have been that much of an improvement over Geremi or Duff? He was shit for us. We staved off relegation partly because he was out of the side, not in it. Amazing what a good game against a nearly relegated Championship side, along with a £12m fee, can do for one's reputation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 I remember when Taylor dislocated his shoulder, and within a month he was fit enough to do anything that didn't involve falling over. Souness played him and he dislocated it again. Duff clearly lacked confidence beating his man after he did his shoulder twice. Really hope it isn't dislocated, as it is basically a bad 3-4 month injury (avoiding risks) which can affect a player's form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing what a good game against a nearly relegated Championship side, along with a £12m fee, can do for one's reputation. Exactly, Milners great again Championships sides because he's got great workrate and a bit of flair (yes I said it ), problem is he's got absolutely no pace and is quite raw. That's not such a problem against the likes of Coventry, Geremi was beating there defenders for pace FFS!! But against Premiership sides its a fatal flaw, especially for a player like him. £12 million was absolutely insane money and it would have been equally insane to turn the offer down.

Like I said his problem is lack of pace and lack of technique, I don't agree that all of his attributes are average, but in the Premiership you need either pace or technique.

Milner would probably miss the balls anyway. actually thats not true, there was nothing wrong with milners game, he didn't do anything badly, he just didn't do anything particulary well either. we'll see what villa do with him though, he could turn into a good player with some expert coaching imo.
