KaKa Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 He's a good player, but he won't improve them imo. Assuming he is going to start week in week out. He will do if they play him in central midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will do if they play him in central midfield. I would do this as well, always though he's a CM. For some reason no actual professional managers agree though.

He was brilliant there for Villa, under O'Neill I think it was, and was set to become a staple there for them. He then joined Man City, and that was the end of that.

Guest Roger Kint Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Schaar going to Hoffenheim by the looks of it. With Konoplyenka going to Stoke and no doubt Ayew going elsewhere its a good job Charnley was working on deals during the last 6 months. Really did well to avoid some decent free transfers there...

Really surprised none of the proper German teams are in for him. Always been fairly impressed when I watched FC Basel. Likewise the Dnipro winger when watching Ukraine, seems to have pace and end product which is more than most playing in the league these days. Bojan - him - Arny - Diouf - Crouch is a fairly decent forward group. It's mental how Hughes is so, so much better when he has financial constraints placed on him, has a decent eye for a player/deal.

Same here, would have been perfect for someone like Dortmund when the inevitable summer sales happen. Really strange no teams have been linked here properly either. Mind he is no Williamson...

Guest Roger Kint Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Theres always a risk with Russian/Ukrainians but watching him i always got the impression he had enough to work here. Apparently he is getting a fortune mind but Hughes is gathering some decent attacking players at good prices. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sho Time Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Stoke are definitely putting together a very strong side. How we cannot compete with teams such as Stoke/Swansea either financially or on the field is an absolute joke like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was loudly shouted down by a mackem the other week for saying we should be up there in the 8-10 places with them given our income/ground/wages etc. Apparently its delusion for expect to compete with those superpowers(and West Ham/Palace) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering Liverpool were expecting to pay around 12-15million for him just last year, I'm sure Hughes won't mind forking out 60k a week on him. If he doesn't suceed doubtless they'll still make a profit off him if they sell him on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 There's so much money in the league now that any club can go out there and get some top players. All you really require is people in charge that know what they're doing and you have a chance to threaten the top 6 teams for league position.

Ketsbaia Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 These transfers are infuriating - Schar, Konoplyanka etc. If Cabaye went to Palace I think I'd jack it all in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would drag us up about 6 places alone and give us hope for a season even with SMC. Meanwhile we havent done a damn thing since February when Charnley told the Chronic we were working on transfers for the summer already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MON hardly ever played him anywhere but through the middle. I also remember him playing there for you every now and then, too. If you asked 100 Villa fans "which player of the MON era do you miss most?", 90 of them would say Milner. He was great for us. Really good in that role, brilliant attitude, never went missing. Absolutely great. I wish he still played for us. I think he's a good signing for Liverpool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummie Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Looks like Cleverly might be going to Everton. I don't know what to think of that. For about 25 games for us, he was one of the worst players I've seen play for us in a long, long time. It became a joke that he was, for some reason, undroppable. If you'd asked me then if I wanted to sign him permanently, I'd have said not a chance, not even being free. Then Sherwood came and he had five or six games where he was really excellent. Then three or four where he was as shit as he was earlier in the season. I don't know which is the Tom Cleverly we'd be signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Milner's been a success at City overall. A squad player but an important one. A more versatile Darren Fletcher in some ways. Always used when you needed someone to standup and be counted. Often best used against top sides and the sides that scrap the most. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played his most consistent and best football for Martinez at Wigan, so no surprise he's joined up with him again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If used in central midfield and he can perform like he was doing there for Villa, he's a great signing. If he's been brought in to be messed about how Man City messed him about then it is a horrendous signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astroblack Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I was devastated when Milner left. Even more so because of all the "12 million. Villa are stupid" posts. He was only 21-23 while playing for us but many had already wrote him off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
