Milner wants more competition

I doubt you'd be saying Milner's crossing was shocking if Pattison had headed that very good chance in tbh.

 

He's been playing very well this season imo (yeah, so not outstanding), and seems to be improving as the season progresses. His work rate has also been fantastic, and doubly so that it comes after being treated so awfully. I don't get why everyone whines at him so much [/]- he's clealry been one of our best players this season.

:lol: Some are fickle, one halfway decent cross isnt gonna sway my opinion. I just look at what a player does and assess whether he is going to do us any good long term. This kid is doing us a favour at the moment but he will never be the answer. I hope he proves me wrong.

He isnt good enough for the (regular first team) shirt, like good few others. He seems a nice lad and tries hard. Nobody can complain about his work rate but even his Dad couldnt claim he did well on Sunday. He was very poor. Not for the first time.

I thought it was telling on Sunday when Milner was criticised for his poor crossing by Andy Gray. Solano then put an equally poor cross in and Gray said nothing.

 

Milner's final ball was always shocking before this season, but it's improved no end since his time with Villa.

His final ball couldnt have been that bad in his first spell could it? :lol:

Its about consistency obviously. You would have be blind not to recognise that Milner cannot consistently cross a ball. Some like him but they are mistaken if they think he is goo enough for a regular spot at club like ours. Clubs pulling in 50,000 people shouldnt be looking at players like him, put it that way.

 

Not good enough and never will be.

 

Consistent like SWP? Funny how his final ball is just as bad, but everyone seems to want to sign him.

 

Unfortunately I think Gerrard and Ronaldo are unavailable, despite the size of our crowd.

 

Who would you sign btw?

Guess you just summed it up for yourself. Who mentioned SWP? Whoever we sign needs to be better than Milner thats for certain. If you think Milner is consistently good enough for us then I think you need to look a bit closer. Solano plays a decent ball more oten than not and certainly did an excellent job when he was a bit younger on the right. Sufficient for the worlds best team at the time - Madrid - to be interested in him. Somehow I doubt they will be after Milner. That is the least we deserve. Not someone like this kid.

Havent really read through the whole thread but I have mentioned before he seems to cross better on his left, thing is (obviously not at the same level) but im more accurate with my left when shooting from close range! Think its because you really concentrate and think more when its your weaker foot where as you are more confident and just go with it on the stronger one.

 

Or im talking bollocks :lol:

 

He did make some excellent crosses with his left at Villa aswell.

I know you didn't mention him, but he's the player most consistently linked with us.

 

We're in a position where we have little or no money. I'd like to know your realistic option for replacing Milner.

 

I'd rather have better players at the club (than most of the 11 tbh) but it's not gonna happen.

If everyone is fit I would probably play Zog on the left and let him find his form as he is twice the player Milner will ever be, likewise Duff (who I would play on the right). Other options include wasting Dyer there or getting Nobby back up the pitch if we got a right back with some pace (which would help Nobby indirectly). I would, of course, prefer to replace him in the summer and keep him as backup - cant fault the kids work rate.

As I dont play FM or have a scouting system akin to a Premier league club I have no idea who is playing in leagues around the world. I wasnt aware of the existence of Solano when he was at Boca. Perhaps there are players about.....that is their job, not mine.

So the point of your constant criticism is to point out that there might be better players available out there?

 

Ooh, you should be a pundit :lol:

 

He's our best option at the moment. When we sign Joaquin we'll all be happy.

There ARE better players out there. He is the best option when we have fuck all else. Hardly a commendation is it? That isn't the case when players are fit.

If people are content with the level of performance from that kid then so be it. I'm not. Nor should you be.

Milner looks like he is running through mud most of the time.

 

:lol: He must feel like he's constantly in one of those nightmares where you're running in glue.

 

I had one of those dreams the other night and dreamt I turned around and ran backwards and was much quicker. Maybe he should try that. At least it would improve his chances of gathering those shit passes.

Aye, I mentioned somewhere last night, the lad has plenty trickery and can buy himself a yard with a stepover or whatever, but the second he knocks it past the full back, that yard he bought evaporates within two strides. I like him, but there's no denying that it's a big failing in his game. Maybe what someone above said is true and the wing just isn't the place for him.
