The Milner Novela... Final episode page 296

I can't help but think the club should be offering him a new deal now on the basis that he's our best player.  Give him what he is worth, get it signed, send the message out. Why the fuck wait until after the World Cup FFS, where he'll be hanging around all manner of greedy ****** ready to tap him up on behalf of their greedy-****** club?

Randy, sit the lad down NOW.

[PaulTheVillan]

Talk of Milner on Talksport now.

[el león Benidorm]

Slap a 50 million fee on his head. That will send out a message stating he is not for sale.

If citeh are willing to pay that, we have 50 mill to start rebuilding!

Now that I like.  Good shout!

Have a go at some of these quote from Blue Moon:

We should only pay 5 mil because that's how much Richard dunne cost who also made it onto the team of the year.

Greedy little bastids.

Another summer of bitter small time losers complaining that we're ruining football looms.

Greedy little bastids.

Indeed. They are ruining football by wanting such a large fee.

It doesn't matter if we pay £100m for him. Some people don't seem to understand the whole 'money no object' thing.

england should enforce minimum fee release clauses that can only be a maximum of double the original price paid for a player, and only applying to other domestic teams.

why should we pay over the odds just cos we have money? clubs like villa and everton shouldn't be allowed to hold others to ransom.

even at £10M he would be massively overpriced

Am I the only one who cannot get why are we are even bidding for this player, I think he is completely overrated and cannot see where he would fit in our team. How many more Aston Villa players are we going to buy?

Does anyone really believe that their squad is so much better than ours that we have to look to buy all of their players, we already have Gareth Barry and I have heard people talk about Agbonlahor, Ashley Young and now James Milner. Why don't we just by Aston Villa, I really don't understand it.

There are so many much better left-sided attacking midfielders in the world why are we limiting ourselves to average Premier league players when we have the capacity to buy world-class and potential world-class.

This is the same problem we had with Mark Hughes, who looked to buy steady Eddie's rather than Rolls-Royce's.

Does anyone seriously believe that James Milner is a better player/prospect/more potential than Stephen Ireland?

Like I said at the beginning I cannot understand why we are chasing this player at this time in our development.

Milner should be away with England now being a City player and not have transfer speculation hanging over him going into the WC.

For us to have made a bid we must have been encouraged to do so, remember Cook as got links with Villa and is a friend of Lerner.

There a few people on there who seem to have a normal brain. Not many, mind you. As has been said here before, they're just bluenoses with money.

Unfortunately the problem is that City may not be prepared to pay that and rightly so.

If Milner wants to leave it would be unwise to foce him to stay, we may as well get the best deal for Aston Villa and move on. Throw Ireland in and maybe one or two others and it could suit us better.

Ho hum, Imagine if it were the other way around. I bet they wouldn't be saying that then

But it sends the message out that he is not to be poached. If he wants to leave, let him put in a request. Nothing has been said of that. So tell Citeh to do one!

[Des Little]

I may be on my own here but I think Milner is more likely to choose United rather than Citeh, regardless of wages offered.  And I hope he does if he chooses to leave.

At the moment yes. If Milner wants to leave then im saying we shouldn't stand in his way.

[not3bad]

If Milner wants to leave

Until I see a shred of evidence to the contrary I will assume that is not the case.

We are agreed then. I dont want a player who doesnt want to be there. But until he says he wants to go. NO

You're not.

[Concrete John]

They are ruining football by wanting such a large fee.

I had to have an ironic chuckle at that one.  Yes, it's Villa that are ruining football, not a poxy no-mark club that got bought by one of the richest men in the world!
