The Milner Novela... Final episode page 296

Exactly - Citeh can afford it do it's £30M or they can do one.  They'll pay it if they want him enough.

£30 million and Bellamy and Ireland.

That would improve the squad subject to Jimmy’s replacement and give us around £50 million to spend.

All assuming that he wants to go of course. And I don’t think he will, as money isn’t such a great concern at his age, while the promise of Champions League football the season after next is garbage.

But it aint going to happen.

They may be rich but they arent stupid. He is worth no more than £25m, even in the current market. At the very most.

And for that I wouldnt sell him. So stuff it.

A player is worth what someone is willing to pay.

Robinho wasn't worth £32m. But they were still willing to pay it. You're absolutely right, he's not worth more than £25m (is anyone?). But if it's not in our interests to sell at that price then there's no problem.

[Gareth]

The pain in the arse of this one is that he has two years on contract...if he is up for extending then they are told to jog on, if he isnt then we are open to another 2 years of 'will he, wont he'

Hopefully Jimmy will realise what MON has done for him, got him out of the Toon soap opera, largely eradicated the 'headless chicken' out of his game, converted his position and give him the platform to be a World Cup starter.

[TimTheVillain]

This is Citeh making these claims then  - appalling stuff with the World Cup almost upon us.

People think that Chelsea have no class, take a bow Man Citeh, you Bell Enders.

You, Man Citeh are now officially cosiderably less classy than yow ( Chelsea).

The point is, they either pay it or don’t. I don’t see us as being bothered if they don’t.

[smudger]

If they would like to give us Hart (£10m worth), Ireland (8m worth) and £10m cash then i would go for it if he wants to go there. No less than that mind.

[richard moore]

i know i'm in a minority of one here
 but i think Milners good but he aint all that.

dont want to see him go, but if we can replace him with a bit of creative quality it wont be all bad.

No, I am with you as well. Good player, sometimes very good but over-hyped in my opinion. I don't want him to go either but I will stick my neck out and say he will not propel Man City to where they want to be...

[charleeco7]

£30 million cash and they can have him. I don't want any of their cast offs. Cash and cash only please.

[BedsVillain]

The problem Citeh have made for themselves, is paying way over the odds for players last summer. If they are willing to pay £24m for Lescott, who is a defender, it goes without saying that a midfielder should cost more.
If they were also willing to pay over £100m for Kaka, they should be looking to pay at least somewhere inbetween the two. Lets say £59m for arguments sake.

maybe not, but citeh will just keep spending till they do and it weakens us against the likes of liverpool and spurs who are much more in our financial catagory, just like selliing Barry weakened us

[PaulMcGrathsNo5Shirt]

My worry about us having a fortune to spend by potentially selling Jimmy means that whoever we want we'll end up paying more.

IF, and only IF Milner wants to go we should insist on Richards, Hart, Ireland, Bellamy and £20m, if they don't pay it, they can fuck off.

Sounds good to me....

[dave.woodhall]

It's ever so easy to say "They can do one if they don't pay £x million." Then we have a player who doesn't want to be here on a contract that's winding down.
