We dont need Milner or anyone like hm, we need real world class players (DCM, RB and striker) who can come in and make a difference straight away (like Ozil at the beginning).
Bacary Sagna was officially approached by Man City yesterday and is holding talks with #MCFC in Manchester today. Story to come..... [Goal]
Not even yesterday could change his mind. Oh well. Enjoy the bench
Milner would be a good signing, but he says he wants a more central role, I can't see him having that here.
Got to stop aiming low guys. And Milner is loooooooow.
If he stops Arteta getting more game time, then OK, but hes not the DM we are looking for. However given that Walcott only plays 2 of every 5 matches and Wenger doesnt want to give Gnabry too much gametime then why not?
Plenty of positives, but I still don't think he would adequately solve any of our problems? I appreciate that we'll all have our own ideas of just what it is that we're lacking at the moment, but for me it's a CF, a goal-scoring winger / wide forward, a long-term successor to Arteta in defensive midfield, a 4th CB option (that we've lacked all year), maybe another CB (if Vermaelen leaves), a RB (to replace Sagna), and a GK (to replace Fabianski)... an that's just the bare minimum, IMO. The only positive on that list that comes close to adding something that I think we need is "decent on the wing", but even then I'd have a lot of players on my wish-list ahead of Milner for that job? Other than that, I don't really see him as a defensive midfielder, even if he does work hard, and he's obviously not a CF, a RB, a CB or GK. I suppose you could argue that he'd make a good utility player, and could cover a few of those areas at a pinch, but another utility player is a long, long way down my list of priorities right now. If we're looking for the first team, then what we need is more top-class specialists in their areas, and in terms of adding squad players I think we're mainly looking at defenders.
Is the home quota being imposed by Uefa really an issue for us (honest question - I don't know)? I would have thought we were well clear of that?
I just don't think he's as bad as people make out. I wouldn't be overjoyed if we signed him but I wouldn't bash Wenger for it either.
