[aws]

Who, Kuyt?

 

I see what you did there.

Not all of us. This thread is from May 2006

I agree not everyone was against it, but as Fungus has pointed out, some convenient hindsight being shown here!

 

But that said, nobody likes a gloater Strontium, and we get loads of them in here, 'can I come in for a gloat they say' and we say 'no go away you heartless gloater, Milners still average'

[old skool tom]

milner is only slightly better than kuyt so its a defo no no in my book.he wont get a look in with young and downing now.

This is brilliant. Well done.

 

Fabio Capello was at Great Ormond Street Hospital on Sky the other day, pointing at the sick kids and that, and he asked one of them who their favourite player was, and the kid went: "Well, in England terms, I'd have to say James Milner."

 

Capello just went: "Eheheheyyyyyyyy, Meelner?"

 

That sums it up for me.

[RedKnight]

Capello is too cool for England.

He'd be a lateral Lucas for me. Solid, consistent, adaptable, picked to create balance vs. for his flair. He'd be a great squad player for us, he's better off at Villa though, their 1 way of playing suits his game.

[Red Nick]

I think Villa are the flavour of the month, as they seem to be every season, but Milner stands out. In a bunch of cloggers and Olympic sprinters, he stands out to me as head and shoulders above them all. I've always liked him, I don't see him ever getting into our central midfield, he'd be out wide, but he's probably still better than anything we have.

 

I would say at this present time Vila are the most effective team in the PL, not the best but the most effective in relation to its players and sadly to say were probably along with Everton the most ineffective.

[Tom R]

i didn't want milner back then and I wouldn't really want him now either tbh.

[DJLJ]

Don't they usually play him right, Young left and Carew or Heskey leading the line? Which makes the last two their equivalent of Torres and N'Gog (I prefer our two strikers).

 

I'd take Young and Agbonlahor over any of our "wide" players though.

 

I don't watch them that much, but I thought they normally played 2 up top with Agbonlahor and Carew/Heskey? He is listed as a striker on their website, but so is Kuyt on ours I'd assume, so doesn't say much.

 

Wide players they have Milner, Young, Downing aswell as Agbonlahor if he is a winger instead. Not a bad bunch.

[Whelan]

Doesn't really matter who or how many Villa play up front, their job is to run the channels and get on the end of big toeys from the back four and win a free kick.

[Manny]

"Hello Martin, it's Rafa Benitez here. Can we buy James Milner?"

 

"Fine, it'll cost you one million quid."

 

"Bollocks. Never mind then."

Any use of Blackadder quotes is a reppable offence.

Nail, head, on the

 

Cue press wanking over O'Neill.

[Red Nick]

Its very effective but worse than a Houllier team to watch.

 

Lets hope he never manages this club

[shaunstrudwick]

Milner is gash

 

but he shits all over Kuyt

[Baresi]

You know it's bad when you have to admit Heskey would improve our squad.

 

Heskey has had 2 shots on target all season. He's utter shite.

[shaunstrudwick]

for me it's all about power and pace

 

Abonglahor on the right of a 4-3-3 would be awesome imo

 

and someone like Rooney on the left

[zigackly]

I didn't say he wasn't, I was replying to Tom!

 

For the record you can't get much shitter than Heskey. But we've got Torres and Ngog and that's it. Even Heskey would be better than no-one.

 

Voronin and Babel appear to have been disappeared by the KGB and are even now breaking rocks in the Ljubljanka.

I really don't think signing a fat cunt is the answer for our left wing.

[Kevin D]

yeah, terrible was harsh. But he wasn't exactly great was he.

 

His touch was shit (2 or 3 nice touches aside early in the 2nd half) he can't hold the ball up for shit and he gets shrugged off almost every challenge.

 

Showed a turn of pace 1 on 1 a few times, but then lost out in the tackle almost every time anyway, so it was pretty much worthless pace.

 

Your Ngogaphobia sickens me.
