So what we're all pretty much united on is that not many of our players would be worth £25 million, and Milner isn't one of them.
In pure monetary terms a player is only worth what another club will pay for that player.
To the club that has the player, the player may be worth equivalent to £xm in that this is the amount they would have to spend to replace him in the team, whether it be by one or more players.
If Man City want to pay £25m for Milner, that is what he is worth. However, what I think you mean is, Milner is not value for money at £25m when you compare him with another player like, say Essien who cost about the same.
Here's a thought - what if these rich Chinese take over Liverpool in the next couple of weeks, and then snatch Milner from under City's nose like City did to them with Barry? Now there's a mindfuck.
Hoddle was a wonderful player at times. In fact that England team (82-86) should have won a major competition.
Sadly, Greenwood didn't pick the right players in '82 (ie, almost none of our players), which was easily our best chance as the Italians dealt with Brazil and the French, good as they were, hadn't quite matured into the side they were in '84, which was better than almost any team we've ever had. As for '86 - well, I think we all know what happened there to the minute.

Nice thought.
But it will take more than a mindfuck to unfuck this clusterfuck.

Is it bordering on drowing fluffy kittens to say the reason they didn't do as well as they should was because the manager was...gasp.....not very good?

With any luck and hopefully they will take Barry too
ps you have less than zero chance of signing Stevie Ireland

I think that was banter. I can't be sure, but I could swear I just got bantered.
Welcome, by the way. Any evidence? And Barry's not a bad player. I'd have thought he was the ideal man if you have Yaya Toure.

cheers monty, no hard evidence to be fair on Ireland apart from a quoted piece in the local rag where he stated that he wants to fight for his place and will give it till at least January, but hey this is city and nobody knows what the fuck is going on- not even mancini me thinks.
As for Barry, he ie decent enough, but after a good start last year he went downhill (tbh he started playing crap after your lot gave him a right good booing at villa park)
Oh, and always look after Dunnie- a true City hero
Good luck for the season btw, hope you have a good'un
I imagine it will be a wretch if he does go, he's been at Citeh since he was a kid. But if he's not going to be in Mancini's 25 there's no point in him hanging about.
Whether he moves to us is a different story altogether, he'll have a pick of a few sides I'd imagine.
