All English midfielders are crazy expensive. See Gareth Barry, Owen Hargreaves, etc.

 

I don't know what one is, but Milner had 18 assists last season. He was playing in the middle though, not where he played in the WC.

No way Milner is a 20 mill player. He is average at best, there are many players in Europe who are much better than him but play in different leagues and so won't command that fee. As BoC said, 20 mill for Milner...what is the world coming to?

This is good news, if true:

 

Manchester United's delight as Nemanja Vidic stays on at Old Trafford

Defender's new £90,000 a week deal ties him to club until 2014

'It's not signed but we've shaken hands' says David Gill

 

 

 

 

 

( or does it mean he's off to Madrid in a few weeks wink )

Nah, too easily done by pace to be "one of the best". Torres has ripped him a new one about three times, as did Agbonlawotsit in the Worthless final. He gave away a stupid handball at the World Cup too.

Good, but not one of the best.

His style suits the English game because he's physical and great in the air. He's a bit dodgy on the ground, especially against pace. Since the average Prem striker is James Beattie or Kevin Davies, most weeks it doesn't matter. It's the big games where he's been shown up. CL final, if you need another example.

Name me a defender who hasn't "made a few mistakes" over a period of however many years.

He hasn't dealt well with Torres that's for sure, but he's top quality.


Agree. One of the top defenders in the Prem. Some good world cup performances.

Obviously he is no Philippe Senderos. horse
