He'd just be another Alan Smith in our squad anyway, not good enough to be first choice striker and no kind of a midfielder at all. No thanks.

Offshore Toon 0 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Eidur is a very good player. He'd probably start most games. I'm pretty sure there was something about Milner joining Liverpool for £10m in The Sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure there was something about Milner joining Liverpool for £10m in The Sun. Have you watched him at Barcelona? Lost whatever he had. There might be something to the notion that a return to England would revitalize his career but I can just see him being another foreign flop.
