The Milner Novela... Final episode page 296

[Mazrim]

Clever.

I wish City would just hurry up and offer the £25m, so at least we might have something to spend this summer.

Paul, please don't become a troll.

[boboonthecorner]

My God, somebody tell me Mr Nursey doesnt get paid for writing this fucking tripe.

Unbelievably yes. The Mirror pinched him from The Evening Mail as well......!!

[mshurst]

I relish the day when Abu Dhabi go bankrupt.

I might go down to the bookies and put £5 on it being because of irregularities in their pension fund.

Press reporting milner has told villa he wants to go to man city and snubbed Chelsea- city sources suggest it's a done deal at £25m.

[john e]

'Done Deal'  two over used words that do my brains in

[Greg N'Ash]

nowhere near enough dosh.

[pauliewalnuts]

He's a good player, but he's not "worth" (acknowledging the iffy concept of such a term in football) 28m pounds.

We could do a lot with that money, however, for me Milner's value goes beyond what he contributes on the field or what we'd get if we flogged him, there's also the chance to make it clear we're not there to have our best players cherry picked by our direct competitors.

To MON's credit, he played the Barry situation very well indeed. Barry went in the end, but moving Milner on to the same place 12 months after would be a bad idea in many ways.

Hopefully we'll manage the situation as best we can.

I hope you'll live long enough to see it.

According to top city source"we are confident it's a done deal,things are moving fast and it should be wrapped up by next week".

[PaulTheVillan]

£25m is what he's worth IMO.

bottom line is whatever he's "worth", they pay what we want or miss out. he's under contract and if they could get someone better they wouldn't be bothering us. alternative is throw in the towel and just become their nursery club

If he wants to go greg , as reported then let's take the money and move on - he's only got 2 yrs on his contract and the price is fair enough- that's football these days I'm afraid.

I'm immortal. Guess I should have put that in my bio.

and who will it be next summer? young, gabby, or delpth? you get nowhere selling your best players

[PaulWinch again]

If he wants to go then sell for £30 million, but it needs to be reinvested properly. I'm a little disappointed in Milner if this is true.
