30 years old and 10m, seems very cheap, sign her and him up- guess she is at least 10m, though to me it looks like she cant even afford much material for her clothes.

I'd tap both of em

You are cheaper than Wenger, they are not 2 players for one position, even if she does look widely different in both shots. Couldn't have her playing up too with Olivier as he shoots too soon as it is.

she's 25, so we'd get her best years i reckon - her peak is 27-28 surely ?

she does always seem thirsty though :

I know that it was only a friendly and it was only against norway, but I have to say that griezman impressed me tonight :shock: He looked bright, his movement was outstanding and he looked a threat - of course it should be noted that tonight he had no responsibilities to track back with cabaye and matudi playing as DM's and pogba just ahead of them, so how he would fare when he is asked to play as a wing back in wengerworld is anybodies guess :roll:

It also should be said that remy scored within minutes of being brought on for him

Both Griezman and Remy are strong possibilities to join.

What do people think about James Milner?

Initially I was baffled by us being linked to him, we have tons of midfielders, and my priorities would be striker, defensive midfielder, goalkeeper, right back and probably a centre back.

But the more I think about Milner, he would take Kallstrom's place in the squad, and also Diaby's (who we have to consider as being injured for 95% of the season when planning ahead, if he is fit then it is almost unprecendented.)

Milner would be a true utility man, experienced but young enough to play with vigour, and physically strong.

Or would he be one midfielder too many, and suffer for being a jack of all trades?

James Milner - the Hunchback of Manchester City - no thanks

He often gets described as an 'insurance policy' when he's picked by Woy for Ingerlund. Well like most insurance policies - overpriced and whenever you need to call upon it is mostly fucking useless. One of the most overrated English footballers around

When people say 'utility man' it is generally code for Joe Average - a jack of all trades and master of none

Having said that - I'd rather we spent 30m on him than 3m on fucking Remy

I agree - two players who have contributed the square root of fuck all to the squad this season, Milner would be like a pig in shit.

Worrying I think Wenger would love him despite his minimal creativity because he'd track back all day even if he offered next to nothing going forward.

We have a team chock full of creativity, if Milner wants to do the water carrying then bravo, finally.

Don't know much about him but found out this on bleacher

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1656 ... biots-name

I normally think f**k getting kids especially French ones but if this kid sounds half as good as some of the other stuff I read about him, I'd get him now........can't see PSG letting him go though but with them buying Yohan Kebab, looking at Pogba and even Luiz could play his role(badly I might add), then Rabiot nows he'd get more game time with us.

Agree. My thoughts as I watched this game. Griezman, Remy and Giroud would be a threat alright.

He can't hack a central role and if we are going to play Milner as one of our wingers we might as well just play another full-back there instead. Perhaps creativity wasn't the best term to use but I wasn't on about fleet-footed quick interchange, Walcott is creative to an extent because his willingness to play off the full-back's shoulder regularly leads to chances for him and others. Milner brings very little going forward, can't play DM and in a winger position on a 4-5-1 that's pretty useless.
