hithere Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I dont know what to think about this. Man City is a step up from Liverpool and somewhere where he has more chance of winning titles and I think he'd replace Navas, maybe he sees it as an ideal place to further himself, better his career and a change of surroundings is ideal for him and I wonder is there anything wrong in wanting that. But I just think its stupid to be making all of this fuss to leave Liverpool at 20 where he'd have a team built around him, has been developed potentially into a world class player and a team not particularly that far off being at the same level as City with the right signings. The best thing for him was to accept the 100k a week, if he keeps improving as a player and they fail to get in the CL in the next 2 seasons or win anything and he wanted to leave youd accept it. He'd have Madrid, Chelsea, Barca, Bayern, City after him for 200k+ a week guaranteeing him 1st team football. It wouldnt surprise me if his agent wants a payday and has been in his ear about how he should be at clubs winning trophies and that Liverpool aren't treating him right or with any respect ect.

Deuce Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 http://www.espnfc.us/manchester-city/story/2457250/man-city-offer-james-milner-new-four-year-contract-to-stay-- Manchester City have made a final, improved offer of a new contract to James Milner in a last bid to prevent him from leaving on a free transfer, sources have told ESPN FC. But City have raised their previous offer by putting a four-year deal worth up to £165,000-a week on the table. Whew. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astroblack Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Prefer that. Good for Dourtmund and Jones-Smalling hasn't been that bad for Man Utd, they are fourth after all. I Was impressed with Smalling against Arsenal. I thought he would be playing at Villa or Sunderland by now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 ^ Who else do they get ? They've got a manager who won them 2 trophies last season at his first attempt. One bad season doesn't mean he isn't the right man for the job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest n4e Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 ^ Who else do they get ? They've got a manager who won them 2 trophies last season at his first attempt. One bad season doesn't mean he isn't the right man for the job. He also finished 3rd in the league that season despite Ronaldo finishing top scorer and lost the title this year from a dominant position by burning out his starting 11. Only need to look at his league record with very good Milan squads to suggest he wasn't going to be winning any in Spain with his approach. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 He won the league in England at his first attempt with an aging squad. The priority for Real last season was to claim La Decima which they accomplished in addition to winning the Copa del Ray. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Benitez would be a horrible appointment. Keep Carlo for another season or get Klopp. Benitez? He'll not win the league either. They'll have a good chance of the cups because Benitez would rotate and is probably more tactically astute. But they'll lose out in other areas.

The College Dropout Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Ancelotti is f***ing quality, one of the very best in the world. No surprises from a club whose supporters regularly boo club legends. Madrid fans get a slightly unfair rap. Man United fans have boo'd Rooney, Ronaldo & Giggs. Arsenal fans have gotten on the back of a number of players. Casillas has deserved some stick. He's been poor for a number of years and has divided the dressing room and gone against managers to the press (reportedly). He's not bigger than the club and has been getting picked off status and reputation and the Madrid fans have had enough. Boo'ing isn't the most productive of activities but it serves a point. Perform to a high standard and it's great. You under-perform, you'll get stick. Players and managers are representing their club - they have to play at the fans standard. The Madrid fans are often supportive when needed. They'll show emotion at every turn. Not just mindlessly clap things below their level from people who could do better.

Guest firetotheworks Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I don't even know where to begin with Raheem Sterling and I'm canny surprised that people are defending him. Fair enough if it genuinely was that he wanted to go elsewhere to 'win' trophies, but he's had the chance with Liverpool and could do again. He's not better than Liverpool at all and the idea that someone would say that about a team who in the past decade has had Xabi Alonso, Javier Mascherano, Steven Gerrard, Fernando Torres and Luis Suarez is risible. He doesn't want to go to a team to 'win' things, he wants to go to a team that already wins and when it doesn't, can afford to buy their way to titles with him on the bandwagon. Taking his claim that it's not about money at face value, he's - at best - the footballer equivalent of a glory hunter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Nearly all left for bigger clubs. The only one that stayed is a Scouser and he almost left. Maybe it's because we support Newcastle United but most people don't want to battle against the tide. That's why there's 3 Goetze's for every Hummels.
