Milner's a very good player, just receives silly criticism from opposition fans because he plays for Man City. Similar reason as to why everyone's about to do a u-turn on Welbz.

It's got nothing to do with playing for the gypos, he's just a shit player. In fact if it all just came down to what team the player is with then how come Welbeck wasn't hated just because he played for Utd? Blows away the point you are trying to make.

utterly ridiculous point, there are scores of players i'd be happy for us to sign from both chelsea and man city.... With Welbeck.it's not because he used to play for United it's because i think he only has had a look in at the England team because he played for United, i thought he was quite good when he played for Sunderland on loan a few years ago because unfortunately i think that's about his level. Because we have signed him, my greatest hope is that i am wrong, and that he does a Ramsey esque transformation from being totally awful to being a player who has the potential to be world class.

Milner is lumbering with a poor reading of the game, and Barry i used to rate six-seven years ago but he's basically the same as Arteta now.

Well call it what you will, sulking, depression....all i have to do is think about us having signed him (and the pricetag) and everything goes all monochrome.

Barry is nowhere near that good.

Hmm i personally can't stand Arteta, well actually i have nothing against him....but i find it counter intuitive to put a player who has never been a defensive holding midfielder and playing him in that position especially when he's getting slower by the game and because he is one footed takes him ages to distribute if he's able to do it at all.

So my issue with Arteta is more how he's played by Wenger than with the player himself

Milner would do a job for us tbh.
