The Milner Novela... Final episode page 296

[pablopicasso_10]

Not sure I agree there mshurst, mon seemed very downbeat in the interview, seemed to be implying that milner wants to go and you can't keep unhappy players, I agree the fee will probably a lot less than £28m, maybe nearer to £23m.

even at 23 mil, it will still be a complete rinsing of them financially...

[Brend'Watkins]

I have just seen the interview on SSN. MON's answer to the Milner leaving question came across as pretty negative. We want to keep him, but if the boy wants away there is nothing we can do about it. Or words to that effect.

Does MON have the stomach for another Barry saga?  

Maybe it's just me but seeing the AVTV recent interview on the Official site at the first day of training MON did not portray his usual exuberance for the job ahead of him.  Maybe he's a bit like the rest of us first day back to work after your holiday.

Hopefully this won't drag on long, I see on sky that Noel gallagher has seen citys transfer target list this summer and apparently it's mindblowing!

Not sure if I had a bottomless pit of money that James milner would be that high on my list, a very good player that he is.

Noel Gallagher once put it about that the fellas who had pummelled him and his brother in a nightclub were hard nosed high rollers the Russian Mafia, they turned out to be photocopier salesmen.

If he's going to go I'd rather he just went soon, so we can go about building our side as soon as possible.

on page 2 of this thread, you said you would only consider 40 mill plus Ireland,
 which would put the deal somewhere around 50-55 mill.

thats not going to happen mate,
if he does go i think you may be dissapointed on your earlier expectations

[TheSandman]

theres a big difference between a 'done deal' and Milner wanting to go, or might end up at City when a deal is thrashed out.

a done deal is when the transfer figure is agreed, any swap players have been agreed, and all thats left is medicals and signitures,

i dont think we are anywhere near any of that,
 i dont see that any figure has been agreed between the two parties, or any agreements on players,

we might well be talking and negotiating, but a done deal, No

Indeed. It's just semantics. In the press you get imminent like it's going to be done within 15 minutes.

It is not done. It is not imminent but I think it will eventually get done. I think we will probably see a deal eventually close to the value of their original offer.

[PaulWinch again]

Yes that was prior to Milner's deafening silence, so I addressed my stance. I just want it sorted either way.

i agree with you,
 if by the original offer you mean around 20 mill, maybe a touch more with a bit of bartering.

£23 million would be daylight robbery. Show us the money.

[DrGonzo]

Give us Ireland and anything near £20 mill and I'll be chewing their wrists...

[Clampy]

I've just seen that short interview with MON on Sky, and i don't think he sounded or came across any different to what he normally does.

Has anyone coined the phrase "Mo'N Management" yet?
