The Milner Novela... Final episode page 296

[el león Benidorm]

This is really gut-wrenching. It will be awful to lose Milner.

Apart from the obvious downsides to all this, it will also ruin the World Cup for me. I was so looking forward to him being a star for England, as a Villa player. Now it will all be 'future Man City star James Milner' and we won't get a mention. The pride I had seeing Platty in Italia 90 was one of the main reasons I became such a huge Villa fan.

yeah, but you can still cheer on Heskey

Has he took up the offer of The Green Mile stage play in the West End?

Worth three cheers for that.

Spat lunch all over desk at that.

Cash + players deal may work for us.

People talk about Man City 'cast offs' but we had one all last season and he wasn't too shabby as I recall.

Milner is doing an England press conference in the next hour, so fingers crossed!

[Hookeysmith]

If Man U can loose the lady boy then anyone can go if the price is right
I am also in the camp that i would love him to stay but i also feel that he is very much overhyped by both press and fans

Interesting that no one else wants anyof our other players yet?

Maybe as the media have hyped up James the Shieks are just asking "Who is a big name / favourite at the moment - James MIlner who does he play for?  Ok go and get him"

Word.

[Karl Bridges]

Jimmy is off and Jenas will replace him. There i've said it, we all know that is where we are heading.

[cheltenhamlion]

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.

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?

And about 5 years age difference as well.

Different markets.

[Shrek]

He is off from what he  said then,

[Risso]

He is off from what he  said then,

What did he say, and where?

[Ads]

He is off from what he  said then,

What did he say, and where?

He ignored the question.

[TaxDodger]

He is off from what he  said then,

What did he say, and where?

He ignored the question.

So, in actual fact, this doesn't mean he's off at all.

[Shrek]

He ignored the question.

he said there is always going to be links with other clubs, which is very flattering but he is just concentrating on England at the moment.

No sign of I like playing for villa or I'm happy at villa.

As soon as the WC is over he will announce that he wishes to leave (in my opinion)

[mcgrath_85]

He's said that he doesn't know where his future lies. This doesn't sound good to me but we shall see. I don't think anything else will be happening till the end of the world cup.

I agree with one of the precious posters sentiments entirely. It will be a shame watching him now, when there's a strong possibility he'll no longer be a Villa player.

I would want Richards, Ireland, Bellamy, Wright Phillips and Santa Cruz: then they have a deal.

I can see Man Ure coming in though.

[Mazrim]

If he'd wore a big oversized comedy Claret and Blue stetson with flashing lights saying "Villa til I die" it would be a case of "he doth protest too much".

It was a bog standard answer that you would expect. It means nothing and yet, predictably, everything.

[PaulWinch again]

yes hardly wildly encouraging.
