Baggio Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 I thought Butt was our best player last season but he isn't good enough for where we want to be either, both him and Milner stood out for their 100% effort rather than being excellent players. Butt needs to be replaced in the first team with someone who's better on the ball, last season we had so many technically inept defenders to go with a midfield partnership of Butt and Parker that we had no option but to boot it up field all the time. As for Milner, he has the attributes to make a decent attacking midfielder in a 4-3-3 formation but his biggest weaknesses (pace, crossing ability) are whats important for a winger, his crossing can get better but it's never going to be good enough to make up for his lack of pace.

Guest Pie Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 You told me I wasn't allowed to use them Ok, here you go... :munky2: Well done. By the way, Baggio just summed it up. His versatility is another reason I am pleased to keep him, as is his willingness to work. However, we need much better, even from a utility player if we are to progress and challenge for serious honours on a consistent basis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he is a "work in progress" , but the finished product won't be too far off, and WHAT a product that will be (in my opinion). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Decent player, gives his all & seems to care. Pity he has no pace or many tricks to create space, both major stumbling blocks for the position we have been playing him in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShearMagic Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Great news. Only real criticism I have of him is his inability to take players on. What a turn-around eh? Was a shoe-in to sign for Villa - assuming we got Dukes. We didnt get Dukes, kept Milner, and a year later we have both of them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Good news. Some people say that he can cross the ball well. I disagree about that. He's made one or two great crosses but how many hasn't been really shit. Most of them imo.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShearMagic Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Look at most wingers though. Most of their crosses are pretty trash, but they always have 2 or 3 real quality ones a game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 His attributes to play there. When did he last play there over a period of games? Duff has the attributes to be one of the best left wingers in the premiership yet he was one of the worst last season. I would say Milner has the place to lose at the moment. If Geremi comes in and does better knocking Milner onto the bench I will be more than happy but at the moment I would say Milner is the best right winger we have as we can't really judge Geremi yet.

I find the "Milner is the best right winger we have as we can't judge Gememi yet" a cop out tbh. From watching Geremi last season at full back it was clear to see he was still as good going down the right at he was at Boro, different position I know but being a fullback for Chelsea meant he spent more time going forward than defending, I agree though that Milner deserves to keep his place to start with out of loyalty but that doesn't have any reflection on him being the better player. As far as ability goes, Geremi is... *Quicker *Stronger *A better crosser of the ball *Better corner taker *Better freekick taker *Better movement in the box *More direct *Better defensively *Better in the air I'd say Milner has a few tricks to beat a man where as Geremi is more direct, feel free to pull me up on any of the above you don't agree with.

Baggio Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Milner is excellent in the air. Shearer and Ferdinand were excellent in the air mate. Milner is someone who can jump high to get on the end of a ball but that's about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
