Nick Rizzo was only a youth player at Liverpool, he couldn't prove himself to be good for the first team. Whereas with Milligan, who's turning 24 this year, you'd think that if he was to be brought to the side he would be getting some sort of gametime whether it be initially off the bench or for the Cup ties.

If he was offered a chance to go to Arsenal IMO he should take it because if things don't turn out well he will have a wide option of clubs to fall back on, just look at players like Stokes, Larsson, Muamba and Upson who have managed to forge decent EPL careers at other clubs. If he was to go to a Championship side he would get gametime but he wouldn't have that net to fall on if things don't work out. He also wouldn't get the experience and tactical education that he would from a big club.

Who knows, Wenger might be able to turn him into something special but I doubt that this move will actually happen and this all just seems like a huge publicity stunt.

and look what happened to him
if millsy has half a brain he wouldnt go to a club where he wouldnt in a million years get him, just to say yeah i played at arsenal
stay in australia, or somewhere else in europe, maybe the championship even where he is going to get a game
get over yourself millsy

To put things in perspective, Nick Rizzo started his euro sojourn in Liverpool :p

He might get a game in 3 or 4 years!

The chick from those ads is so hot!

anyhoo ...

This rumour is everywhere

This coulud be the best or worst thing ever.

Is he really likely to play if signed?

Exciting stuff for sure though

Hahaha tossing possums and wrestling rhinocerouses i think

Now, i believe there is a possibility that Milligan will go to Arsenal, but cmon, a straight replacement for Flamini? You'd have to be tossing possums (fuck i hate that ad, nor do i really get it).

If you believe everything you read, it looks as if he's set to join the gunners!!!

Check the article in The australian!

I can actually see this happening of coarse he would never play first team maybe make a Carling cup apearence stay for a few years and then sign with another EPL team kinda like Aliadere who signed for Middlesborough

This rumor is complete bullshit. Millsy probably started the rumor himself as an excuse to why he didn't turn up to Olyroos camp in QLD.

"But I was talking to my good mate Arsene :cry:" (hypothetical quote)
:-({|=

i hear that he impressed wenger on a 10 day trial and is waiting on a work permit for the go ahead

He may get picked up but he won't get picked for the team.

Is it confirmed it was a pig? It could have been anything man...


Maybe he's at the stage where he'd be happy to get picked up by anyone. :p

i would like to see him go to one of the smaller EPL clubs

WTF
Wait i think i just heard a pig land on my roof.

You have, you just don't know it yet. :p :twisted:

massive move if its true!

Fucking joke, doesnt deserve this, hes a fucking wanker after that ego pumping asian cup he had. if he had have gone about it a different way i would have been happy but now hes just a little bastard.

I tried to post in the other one and you must have closed it halfway through my post cause i got this access denied thing and i thought id been banned.

What goes on in Milligan's head?

First he dashes off from the Asian Cup, snubbing Sydney for France only to return with his tail between his legs. Then this year he goes off again, Kossie gets fed up and dumps him, and he turns up back here with no deal anywhere. Now he's ditching Olyroo duty (quality captaincy there) for Europe - possibly Arsenal, but more likely Brann Bergen - and and risking his spot at the Olympics.

From the AAP article, he's back in Australia tonight meaning he's not still trialling or talking. You would have to expect that if he had signed any deal anywhere, then he'd be telling everyone about it??

Whats so unbelieveable? I don't think hes being brought in to replace Henry, or link up with Fabregas... Wenger likes young technical players, Mark is one of those. If this trial goes one step further and he gets signed (which is quite a step) he'll mainly be a bench player we'd assume, so wheres the disbelieve? Kalacs is number 2 at Milan, Neill was almost at Liverpool, their hardly our most talented players...

urrmmm... uuuuhhh... wh...what can I say? :shock:

May fools? :(

What the... Ok i've checked the date and it's not April fools.

the weird thing with this is that it is so absurd that it might be true (ok probably not) but it would be nice to have an australian at arsenal

hi Kevin.. seeing your here thought I'd say HI

wtf

Omg..... shocked...
