The Milner Novela... Final episode page 296

[Villa'Zawg]

- 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.

The gate-man? Do you mean warden?

[Mazrim]

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.

Far too lightweight.

A strong gust of wind would open that side up.

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

Well, I could live with an attack minded team but Milner and especially Delph can get stuck in. Plenty of workrate.

[Mazrim]

The gate-man? Do you mean warden?

I think he means:



So, Milner is Gozer the Gozerian?

[usav]

Isn't Delph out until at least October??

[PaulTheVillan]

Yep. No doubt like Downing, Delph will be rushed back and play every game. We have to decide whether to keep NRC and then lose him for nothing next summer or sell him now.

[Mazrim]

I'd like to keep NRC.

1- We'll most likely need him.

2- What would we get for him anyway with one year left on his contract?

3- He's a decent player.

[Small Rodent]

3- He's a decent player.

Agree with all three, and...

4 - And has played RB!

[olaftab]

Can we please change the title of this thread to "No offers arriving for Milner" or "Offers stop arriving for Milner"

Any nurse that styles bosoms into her hair is alright with me!

[Archie]

If Milner should decide to remain, I'd be happy.
First of all, he is a professional, not a Villa supporter (he is a Leeds supporter, by the way), so I find normal that he has had talks with another club. But he's a nice guy and a serious professional, so I'm absolutely sure that if he remains he'd be committed the 100% to our club.  
Secondarily, he can play as a central midfielder, but he was born as  an attacking-minded winger, and I think that with Jimbo and Downing on the flanks, Young behind the striker, and Petrov and Delph in front of the defence, our current 4-4-1-1 could become a more attractive 4-2-3-1.

dissagree with all of them, the man is absolute pants and the quicker we get rid the better

[Mazrim]

Ah, so that's why they call his Mum 'Bucket Fanny'.

Sorry for my poor English, mate, in Italy when  a player begins his carreer in a certain role, we say that he was born in that role, but now I realize that in English it sounds quite ridicolous. . .

We use the phrase over here as well, to a certain extent, it's just that I'd imagine Mazrim's humour is even less funny when translated into Italian. ;)
