I don't think Milner is a quality winger, we could do better.
i disagree personally he is top quality at club level, he had a great season for aston villa but i think he is out of our price range
i posted this in another thread but maybe its more appropriate to post it here...
i would like
OUTS:
Lucas - £5m
Insua - £4m
Babel - £10m
Reira - £5m
Mascherano - £25m
Total = £49mINS:
LB - Figueroa - £5m
CM - Cambiassio / Parker / Schweinsteiger - £14m approx
L/RW - Arda - £12m approx
RW - Shaun Wright-Phillips £6m
ST - Bryan Ruiz / Peter Crouch £12m (approx)
Total = £49mwith our transfer budget already at around £12m i would look to bring in a couple of squad players CM - G.Silva plus a LB - Bel Hadj? and maybe a RB, or a player similar to Arbeloa who could play accross the back four instead (at least Left and Right Back)
there are also more players that could make an exit. Nabir El Zhar, David Ngog and Phillip Degen... maybe that could raise an extra say £8million to beef up our spendning. Mascherano has been linked with a £30m move but a part exchange deal involving Cambiasso plus cash of around £10m would be fantastic business for the club. also if we managed to seal a deal with joe cole (unlikely imo) then one of the wingers could be scratched.
