From the Sun:Meanwhile, Downing reckons selling James Milner to Manchester City could be a great piece of business for Aston Villa.City are poised to make an improved offer of around £25million for England midfielder Milner, 24, after seeing a £20m bid rejected.And Downing said: "The money they're talking about is a substantial amount for one player."If we can replace him with a player of his ability then it's good business."
There's a certain manager that might not take too kindly to his Milner comments as well - remember what happened to Berger?
Quote from: "ktvillan"There's a certain manager that might not take too kindly to his Milner comments as well - remember what happened to Berger?Berger said Barry leaving was good for the player. Downign is saying that Milner leaving might be good for the club. Quite different things, IMO.
Sorry Downing, your not good enough for England, especially the way you run away from challenges. Now stop moaning and try and learn to be a winger again.

From the Sun:"That was a great confidence boost. I then thought we'd had a good end to the season, the team was playing well."
Downing should not be making comments about possible players leaving- I don't think mon will be happy to read his comments- far easier to just say no comment!
