Dokko Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 We would get our money back probs. You think Milner is worth less than what we bought him for? Yet AV wanted him for the price we paid last season before he had his best professional season so far, not to mention the added money in the EPL? Clouded judgment by terrace hatred. Villa offered us the money BEFORE the add ons. The total sum is reputed to be £5m. Personally I wouldnt pay that for him and nor would Villa last season. I cant be arsed to hate anyone really. Apart from Thatcher. Like I say, we could get our money back but I would prefer he stayed as a squad player. If we move him left then he will get found out just as quickly by the way. He lacks the pace as a support striker. His best bet is moving into the centre of midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor was Cantona - they werent lightning by any stretch of the imagination, but both were quicker than Milner. Both were probably among the most talented players of the last 30 years, which sort of helps. There are exceptions to every rule. Not sure our boy fits that criteria. If he does it there then good luck to him, hope he does, just dont think he will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakka Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 I'd take SWP at £10million, but only cause Ashley is here now and its a good chance to capture a quality winger. If we weren't being taken over by a billionaire I wouldn't buy him, I'd spend more cautiously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Agree with hakka actually. If we were to spend £10m on SWP now, it's because we can genuinely afford him. Under Shepherd it would be a high risk gamble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under Shepherd it would be a high risk gamble. We probably can anyway. Regardless of the transfer budget, £10m for SWP is £4/5m too much. You'd hope that with Allardyce, we'd step a side from the inflated fees business. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Knightrider Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 No, stay clear of de coached, de motivated Chelsea players. Baba, Parker and Duff have all flopped here in one form or another, lets not take a chance on a 4th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The others you mentioned aren't quite in the same bracket. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toptoon Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Once we've secured a LB (our top priority). I would preffer we spent the £10m on RB Micah Richards! - fast, tall, strong, scores, creates, good in the air, hard to beat and would make a absolutely huge, huge difference to our team imo (reminds me of a young Lilian Thuram). We need a CB too hopefully this Czech guy will be good if we get him. If after we've bought quality 2 x fullbacks, 2 x centerbacks, 1 x defensive midfielder and if we still have £10m+ then meh, why not get SWP as good back up! 8) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
