- The latest developments with Milner clearly show we are not actively trying to sell Milner to raise funds to buy players as I (amongst others) have said all along.

There you go. The two points I took issue with and my reasoning for doing so.

In your opinion.

Seems to me Mon is saying if there are any others out there keen on Milner, lets see your bids, because Man City negotiations have stalled.
Typical Mon brinkmanship


That's exactly what he's saying. Yes, I'm sure of it. What he certainly doesn't want to do is keep one of his best players.


Yes well.
The only player he's made any fuss about keeping is Ashley Young, and  his recent suggestion Milner wanted away, still refuted by Milner when I last spoke to him via the gate-man, is generally accepted by sensible people as the come and get him, message.

Leave it out please Maz.


Villasubmariner told me to say it.

Anyway, slag MON off all you like. I might even join in now and then but PLEASE, just get your facts straight.

Malcolm, no offense but you're not one of the sensible people. You're a borderline lunatic.

Did I say everyone else's opinion was bollocks then did I Pete? I think you'll find I said two points in particular were bollocks. If you disagree, explain why.

What my knowledge of Villa's finances are. Well, its true I know a few people who know a few people etc. But there's no need to go there as there is plenty of evidence for everybody to see.

- Randy has said there is money to spend, that we dont have to sell players to raise transfer fees (which Pelty has backed up and the General to a degree), that its all about getting the players on big money who dont play off the large wage bill before new players arrive. Which is common sense.

- The latest developments with Milner clearly show we are not actively trying to sell Milner to raise funds to buy players as I (amongst others) have said all along.

There you go. The two points I took issue with and my reasoning for doing so.


That makes sense, thank you.

I still reckon he'll go, there's surely no way they'll sell us Ireland after us playing hardball over Milner.

Just imagine if we could get him in and keep Ireland though.

A long term midfield of -

.............Milner - Delph
Ashley.........Ireland....Downing

Looks pretty bloody good to me.

Yep, thats a midfield I've suggested a number of times. It would indeed be more than useful.

I don't think we'll see Milner & Ireland playing in the same side.

Far too lightweight.

A strong gust of wind would open that side up.

All five of that lot want to attack first and foremost.
