James Milner

[StevieH]

NEWCASTLE winger James Milner is a shock target for Rafa Benitez in a player swap deal.

 

The Geordies are interested in five Liverpool first-teamers, with John Arne Riise and Jermaine Pennant top of their list.

 

And Benitez is ready to negotiate an exchange with 22-year-old Milner heading to Anfield.

 

Milner moved to St James’ Park from Leeds in 2004, and also enjoyed a successful loan spell at Aston Villa, but despite his potential as a teenager he has never made the step up many expected.

 

Liverpool’s interest in the wide man underlines where Benitez’ priorities lie as he looks to raise funds and juggle his squad with wheeling and dealing.

 

With Gareth Barry and Borussia Dortmund’s Phillip Degen also among his targets, a summer of exciting purchases does not appear to be on the Anfield agenda.

Norwegian Riise is thought to favour a move to the North East.

 

He held talks with Benitez last week and was told he can leave Liverpool. Riise was offered to Aston Villa as part of the Barry deal, but will consider his options.

I couldn't be more underwhelmed. I'd rather Downing.

[StevieH]

Surely we aren't after Milner? I'd rather keep Pennant!

[Ted]

Where's that from?

[RedKnight]

God we're shit. I can't believe our transfer targets are so bad that I'm considering Stuart Downing as a better bet. We really need to stop replacing squad players now, it's getting stupid.

Milner is too slow.

 

However, he can cross a great ball :whistle:

[StevieH]

Philip Degen and James Milner as our main summer signings. How depressing.

[Ted]

I'm gonna stick my Bellamy out here. Degen will be fucking awful.

Good question, Ted of Tedshire.

Milner sure fits in perfectly with what Elisha Scott said: A surprising signing for the wing, more consistent than Pennant with slightly worse technique than Jermainia.

 

The good CV bit, he menitioned could be that Milner is one of the youngest players ever to play in the premiership.

Heard a swiss journo on talkshite stating he's an inexperienced under 21 player, whos been out injured for a while :whoops:

[Ted]

He's fuckin crap. No way should he even be considered for us.

 

I hope you're reading this 'Milner.' If that is your real name. I want you to know that I hate you and your family.

With 2 goals in 25 league starts he would really make us more of a threat going forward, particulalrly with Philip Degen overlapping at RB.

He is 25 years old!! He can't have been out for 4 years.

I heard my head say "Terry, you really should tone down your ego. It's unjustified."

 

And yet here I am. Ruling totally at making judgements on players I've never seen. While all the time looking suave and dapper.

[Dante]

Fuck me, what next, Stephen fucking Hawking.

 

Infact, he'd be more effective than Milner.

[Guest TK-421]

Where's it from? Ted has posed the question on behalf of the masses and we need to know.

 

Ted of Tedshire, I might add.

[Ted]

?

Yeah I know mate, I was bumping your question.

Ahh, not worth taking any notice of then.

Don't worry. We've got stepover king Gareth Barry on the left wing with Arbeloa bombing ahead of him from the fullback position.

 

:whistle:

Sorry man. My mistake.
