The Milner Novela... Final episode page 296

[chrisw1]

they are saying on facebook a deal has been done.
I just hope it is bullS#*t.

Who is saying that?

[peter w]

Its a bit dangeorus to have a player finish the season, look towards a World Cup, and then have only 2 years left on the contract. I agree.

If he doesn't get his move this season, he'll sit tight and then will go next summer for a bargain knock down price. I think because of that, and if he refuses to sign a new contract, there is almost no option but to sell whilst we can get the best money for him.

[Chris Smith]

Am I the only person who thinks that Warnock has just said what a lot of posters on here have said about Milner. And, as such, cannot see what the fuss is about?

No, you're not. All they've done is give an honest answer to a question, however there are always people on the Internet who will try to make it into something more.

Am I the only person that thinks Milner should have been offered an extension to his contract before now?

No, I agree.

What difference would it have made?

Man City will just throw money at the situation, the length of his contract will not deter them and it's just a question of whether or not they can make us an offer that we can't refuse. Then the player will have a decsion to make.

I just don't see that. If he's dead set on a move and doesn't want to sign a new contract then a few months isn't going to make much difference.

[Concrete John]

When is it normal to offer players a new contract?

We signed him less than two years ago and he has two years left, so are people saying we should be offering him a new deal less than half way through his current contract?

[Villa'Zawg]

He started this season only one year into a four year contract. As much as I would like to see him on a rolling 5 year contract, I don't think it is reasonable to have expect new contract talks to have happened before this summer.

true that would be a little like forward thinking, not Mon's best forte.

Mind I do agree with mr smith, if we gave him 1 mill a week someone like City would beat it, so it matters little in the grand scheme of things.

It does give other peripheral stars like Young, Warnock an incentive at least. They know that a good season and someone like City will jump in and RL can't stop them.

The difference will be in the amount we would be able to get for him. See Barry, G.

And today's latest knock down of the manager comes form sfx412.

This from the same person castigating him last season for not playing Delph having spent so much money on him.  The player described by MON as one for the future and one to be nurtured.  If that's not forward thinking I don't know what is.

So you think if he'd been offered a contract say 3 months ago that wouldn't have ocurred to him?

If he's dead set on a move then I'm sure that we'll sell him this summer for the best price we can. I don't see us repeating that Barry thing again.

[peter w]

Not 3 months ago, no, but someone should have looked at this last year and recognised that a Barry like situation could rear its head again. You're right inasmuch that if Man City want to buy they will, but we would have had more of a bargaining position than we do now.

I can see your point but if you start offering players a new contract after only 12 months then you set a dangerous precedant because they'd all want the same.
