After the stories coming out in todays media its beginning to have a similar look and feel to the Barry situation two years back. Maybe I'm wrong but it seems as though it will be not if but when. I think £30m for him is a good deal but I just wish we could be building the squad around him......

Shite situation.....

Even more so when you consider that Rodwell has no problems signing a new contract with Everton!


I don't see how you can compare a kid with a handful of appearances to Milner. It would be like saying Piennar hasn't signed a new contract but we're keeping hold of Albrighton.


The only reason I'm comparing them is simply because they are both pretty hot property when it comes to English players. Rodwell may have only had a handful of appearances (if 47 is only a handful) but is already rated at £15m+...

Comparisons with Albrighton(3 appearances and nearly 2 years older), good God talk about claret tinted specs!!!!

My point was that Everton are having their own issues with players being linked with moves away in Pieanaar and Arteta yet you choose a 19 year old as the one to compare to Milner.

I'm not quite sure what your point is here???  Fair play to Rodwell signing a new contract rather than than jumping ship that's all I'm saying. Let's hope Milner does the same, because you just know that O'Neill will waste the money if he does go.

Ireland is a fantastic player. I'm just not sure of his mental temperament.

There are various incidents such as the lark surrounding playing for the Irish side and one are two other things that make me think that.

Did'nt he drop his shorts during a game a while back and he had something written on his pants and got slaughtered for it, or am i thinking of somebody else?

As a player, he did'nt get much of a look in last year, but was excellent the season before.

He had some Superman pants on.

Was a few years ago now.

Dear Santa

Please make it so, that our players shut the fuck up when discussing the future of current teammates that are linked with other clubs. Especially if they are going to talk complete bollocks, but also when their quotes can be taken out of context.

I'll be a good little boy, and promise not to spank myself for fear of going blind.

Sincerely, TV

Well what a silly little man Warnock is. Why didn't he just say 'Sorry thats nothing to do with me?'

Not as bad as what Berger said but I'm sure Randy isn't at all thrilled by it.

Would you be surprised if a deal has already been done and as such that's the most 'positive' Warnock can be ?
Just a thought, may be wrong, I'm not always right.

Dunney makes more sense in what he says, he says Jimmy will struggle for game time. He's not defeatist, he says if he leaves we will move on and Delph will be a top player(obviously not next season).

What a dickhead Warnock is eh!

He should be saying Milner doesnt need to go, Villa is a great club going places.

Martin will definatley be screwing about these comments
