I thought we should have bought him last year instead of Barry, who we didn't need and has been on the decline for the last 18 months. Milner could be the next Lampard/Gerrard in the middle of the park, and we sorely lacked that type of player last season with Ireland being off form, injured, disinterested or sadly overlooked depending on your view. As all our academy prospects seem to lose their way it seems we are reduced to having to buy young players from other clubs, like Adam Johnson, who looks like a great investment so far.
From: TedMaulDisturbs on 20 May 2010 13:49 I agree with you on Barry/Milner. I'd buy him and see if it inspires Ireland, and if it doesn't we've got someone who can play in that position and we can say goodbye to Ireland. The price is always going to be daft because it's City that are buying and we need a player in that position, we just need to be able to say no if it gets too daft.

He just needs managing properly. |
