The Milner Novela... Final episode page 296

[TimTheVillain]

It's in the lap of the Gods now.
From an England perspective, Milner's future really ought to be sorted one way or the other BEFORE the World Cup though.

Fuck England.

Can you stand the 'MIlner, the speculation is he'll be a Man Citeh player as soon as England leave South Africa' type commentating.

I can't.

As for 'Fuck England' - nice sentiment.

[JUAN PABLO]

as players theres not a lot between Millner and Ireland in my view, i might even prefer Ireland to be honest,

 

Couldn't disagree more.

Ireland was awesome the season before...   would prefer both in the team to be honest..

[Concrete John]

Is anyone else getting concerned about the number of players leaving?  We've effectively put 6 up for sale, Bouma and Harewood are out of contract and we now potentially have Milner leaving, so that's 9 players.

A month ago we were talking about adding one or two to make the difference, but now it seems like we're facing a pretty major rebuilding job!

He is a very good player. But worth over £25m in my opinion, no.

Whilst i agree, it's not really the point. Lescott is never worth £24m, but Man City were stupid enough to pay it.

I think the best course of action would be to offer him a new contract after the World Cup. If he turns it down, then let him go and get the best deal we can.

This only works if Man City end up as the only club bidding. I can see Chelsea and Man U also bidding and Milner preferring to go there.

In value to us...I think we can be a better team with the £25m regardless of who pays us.

Not too much. These players have not played much. I think the sqad had run its course and we need MON AVFC V2.

If Lescott is worth £24 million then Milner is worth 35.

If Lescott is worth £24 million then Milner is worth 35.

Thats the point he is not. How can he be worth only £10m less than David Villa?

But it depends what we value Milner at. If MON and Lerner think £25m would improve the team too a larger degree than keeping Milner then it does not matter who pays the money.

It does matter who pays the money. Man City are a direct competitor for fourth place. I'd rather Real Madrid bought him for 25 million.

[charleeco7]

According to a gossip column on the BBC apparently manure are set to offer £28 million for him. Smells like BS to me

[Des Little]

£30m minimum otherwise do one.  Personally I like the idea of asking £50m and see how they react!

He was about as awesome as Lee Hendrie at his peak.

Agreed, but if Lerner & MON feel they can take the team forward better by adding £25m to the kitty then it does not matter who pays. If we don't improve significantly next season...Man City will not be a direct competitor anymore.

I'd rather the money and a chance of improving.

[JUAN PABLO]

Wenger might come in yet with the Fabragas money..

Different markets.

I am sure he will.
