Shillzz Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Its a crying shame that Delph has been injured. Had that not been the case, we could go straight off with a 451, Delph and Stan Holding and Ireland in a more advanced role. I Wonder if Milner's sold then whether or not Oneill will go with this, with NRC deputising for Delph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmarsha_926 Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Milner - De Jong/Barry - Toure - Silva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shillzz Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Not to mention the countless others. Trying not to stray into Off topic here, but i think it could be equally a case of them buying their rivals' best players as it is a case of them trying to improve their team. I dont see as Milner adds anything to their starting 11. That said, they dont really have a box to box midfielder of Milners standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damocles Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Milner would be a left winger first (we play opposite wingers) and a box to boxer second. Our box to box midfielders: Michael Johnson - Permanently injured, unfortunately Gareth Barry - it's where we used him under Mancini Stephen Ireland - He's going So really, we have a guy who has been injured for 3 years, a guy who's going and GazBaz. Left Wingers at City: Craig Bellamy - His legs are going, and admits he probably can't handle many games next season SWP - Possibly going as his contract is running out and he's asking for stupid money. Milner would provide cover for both positions, and with a 38 game season, and hopefully three long cup runs, there are plenty of games to be played.

Damocles Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Horses for course. He's stronger than Johnson for those games when we need it on the wing. Chelsea at home springs to mind. Perhaps Milner is a direct replacement for SWP? This is all a bit academic at the moment anyway, as Milner isn't yet a City player, and even we aren't stupid enough to sell before we buy.

If ye spend 20 odd million on Milner and play him as a winger you'll have just wasted a shit load of money. He might be worth 20 million at a push as a central midfielder but not as a winger. Oh and Milner is 2 footed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be shocked if Lescott played left back for us first choice, simply because he's shit there. Mind you, if Bridge goes down, we do have Luiz, Lescott and Barry who can all play there, as well as Jerome Boateng, so it isn't a major concern. Anything about Milner from the Villa end yet? Our end seems to think it's a done deal with the club, and the lad will sign for 5 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
