You mean for a contract extension or something?Good to hear Milner seen as a midfielder.
I'm sure if he's fit he'll get the 20 appearances he needs.

Nah all time most PL games.You mean for a contract extension or something?
Ahhh gotcha. Pretty certain (injuries permitting) he’ll make that. I like him in the squad, but I’d be hoping he’s making those appearances off the bench to help calm and kill games off. I think he would have a role in many squads outside of the top sides, but I hope his wages reflect his actual importance and I suspect sadly they don’t.Nah all time most PL games.
I will never get why people care quite how TB chooses to waste his money. Its not like the ticket prices would be any different if Milner was being paid £20k less or more a week.Ahhh gotcha.

Fair enough.I will never get why people care quite how TB chooses to waste his money. Its not like the ticket prices would be any different if Milner was being paid £20k less or more a week.
I think it's pretty hard for him to know where/how to look whilst waiting for a five minute translation to finish .Watching the gaffer’s presser in Japan, asked about Milner by a Japanese journo about his importance to the team (?! weird one) he says he’s very important, incredible pro, yadda yadda.
But out of nowhere he says “he’s a midfielder” with absolute certainty and without prompting. Very, very good news! He was dreadful at fullback for us
Also, very amusing press conference because I think the gaffer was getting a little impatient waiting to hear the translations…

He rolls his eyes quite a few times. I don’t think he’s being rude, just uncomfortable waiting and shifting awkwardly in his seat.
Especially funny was when he was asked about the team coping with the humidity, and made a joke comparing to the weather in Brighton and nobody laughed (because they don’t speak English). And then again when translated into Japanese and again nobody laughed, despite his hopeful looks out to the media when he heard “Brighton” in the translation.
Pure Brent, I love him already.
I merely observed that whining about the rumoured salary any particular player may or may not be on is pointless in my opinion. Or am I not allowed to comment as a fan on the main fan forum? No need for the spurious and pompous, spirit of the Archer war years, preamble to your wittering either. TB is not gambling the future of our club for the sake of having Milner playing a bit part in our squad for a couple of seasons.Fair enough.
I care because our club nearly went out of existence when I was a child because of mismanagement from our ruthless asset-stripping owner and his sleazy sidekick, and I want my child to have his community club to grow up with if he or she chooses. We like many clubs have fans who do care about our finances.
But quite apart from that, because I trust Tony and his people implicitly, I care because it has a bearing on our playing budget and therefore our season and fortunes. We don’t have a bottomless well of cash; as a fan on the main fan forum I’m allowed to comment that I would prefer our budget was spent to the best value in returns.
In my opinion Lallana’s (reported) salary didn’t represent value for money, and I would hope Milner’s did.

When you pick your favourite team you care how the money is spent because it has so much to do with which footballers your team can acquire.
I reckon 99.9% of Brighton fans are totally indifferent to his personal milestones and just want to see better performances than that which we saw last seasonGood to hear Milner seen as a midfielder.
I'm sure if he's fit he'll get the 20 appearances he needs.
I'm completely with you on this.Fair enough.

He was also very good at LW against Spurs.Very, very good news! He was dreadful at fullback for us
I wasn’t whining. I didn’t read the rest.I merely observed that whining about the rumoured salary any particular player may or may not be on is pointless in my opinion.

I wasn’t whining.
Whining.I hope his wages reflect his actual importance and I suspect sadly they don’t.
I’ve never had an issue with you before and I don’t know what’s going on in your life, so I’m not going to have argument with you. DM me if you want to continue.Whining.
I'm fine thanks, on holiday in fact. I have no issue with you, I felt your initial reply was an over the top response to my mild observation and so I called it out.I’ve never had an issue with you before and I don’t know what’s going on in your life, so I’m not going to have argument with you.
