Saint Charlie Posted 3 June, 2015 Share Posted 3 June, 2015 I know he is often mentioned and would be a big risk but Micah Richards could be an option to replace Clyne, plus can also cover at CB or in a back 3 if we switched to that. English player with proven quality, something to prove and available on a free. Resale value too potentially. Dodgy injury record and previous attitude issues though.

SuperMikey Posted 3 June, 2015 Share Posted 3 June, 2015 Wouldn't take Weimann here but how about Carles Gil? Sherwood doesn't like him but he's looked good for them when he's actually played. Only cost them £3m in January so can't imagine he'd be much more than that to bring here, and can play right left or behind the striker. Worth a gamble I think, especially if we're letting Ramirez & Djuricic go as they're the only really creative flair players at the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazlo78 Posted 4 June, 2015 Share Posted 4 June, 2015 We're being linked to Danish International CB Simon Kjær in L'Equipe: http://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Actualites/Lille-simon-kjaer-attend-de-meilleures-offres/563989 A strong, battling defender, his career outside Denmark started quite well at Palermo, but a move to Wolfsburg exposed some of his shortcomings. His loan move to AS Roma was also unhappy following a string of costly errors. At OSC Lille however, he has been immense and part of one of the tightest defenses in Europe. Ready for the PL? I have no idea. He could end up as either Saints-Lovren or Liverpool-Lovren! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always gives 100%, works his arse off, has a bit of quality, but agree with you on the wage. In my opinion, he's 60-70k p/w tops. 200k p/w is crazy, and Morgan has every right to start screaming for that sort of wage if he moves! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSAINT Posted 4 June, 2015 Share Posted 4 June, 2015 I'd be surprised if Milner is on 200k - Saw a report that he turned down around 135k at City and took less to play 1st team football. TBF, I can't imagine him as a Gerrard replacement, but good cover for all kinds of positions. No doubt he fits the Rodgers criteria of "great character".

I don't believe he's anywhere near that level of form these days and has become nothing more than a hard working utility player who can cover a few positions, and even when playing in central midfield for City he's not looked outstanding, just ok. He's reportedly earning 150k a week PLUS a huge signing on fee. How many players in the league do you think earn that sort of money? It probably puts him in the top 20 or so best paid players in the league, and there is no way he should be in that sort of company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In central midfield though, he'd get in any team in the league apart from City and Chelsea. And he is significantly better than Jack Cork. It looks to me you're jumping on the well peddled 'other clueless football fans fink he's rubbish so I'm going to regurgitate that' opinion without recognising how good/useful he is.
