The Milner Novela... Final episode page 296

[Concrete John]

You're getting me wrong I rate Ireland. I think he'd do a good job for us I just don't think he would be anywhere near enough to make Milner think that Villa are really going places.

I agree with that.

He's be an asset to us, but not a head turning signing by any means.

I think he'd be an excellent signing.  It's not going to be signings that make Milner's mind up one way or the other, it's how much Man City are going to pay him.  If he's on say, £60k a week at Villa, and Man City add a £100K a week on to that, he's not going to turn down an extra £15m over three years is he?  I don't care if he is a nice lad, or still lives at home with his mum or whatever, nobody in their right mind would turn that down.  I certainly wouldn't.

[TimTheVillain]

Let's not forget Randy has said that Milner is going nowhere. Much will depend on whether Milner actually wants to stay. Obviously his agent will try and push for the move, Citeh are interested but in the end it's Milner's decision.

But we all know that everyone and everything has a price Mark.

As Risso says, £15 million extra over 3 years is a massive amount of money to turn down.

If we were Leeds he just may, but we're not (thank God !)

I would t hold a grudge against milner if he went- he's a professional, villa aren't his team and if he can treble his wages and play alongside world class players good luck to him.

Man city are going only one way- it's just how quick they will get there-I agree milner will be the next gerrard and probably the mainstay of the England team with Rooney for the next 10 yrs.

[not3bad]

I agree milner will be the next gerrard and probably the mainstay of the England team with Rooney for the next 10 yrs.

In that case £30 million will be a small price to pay for him.  £35 million would be a small price come to think of it.

[Des Little]

They're taking the piss out of us.  If we sell for a penny less than £30m questions need to be asked.

[montague]

We should wait and see what sort of world cup he as before we can determine his true value.

[not3bad]

We should wait and see what sort of world cup he as before we can determine his true value.

That's what Man City don't want.  Hence all this "take it or leave it" stuff.

[Concrete John]

And so far we're 'leaving it' and rightly so!

have to laugh at the media agendas...

"Trying to sell as many newspapers as possible"?

What other agenda do you think there might be?

to brain dead moronic sheep...

i dont believe there is an "anti villa" agenda, but there is an agenda towards the north west and london clubs via the media...

and with idiots like shaun custis telling people what to think, its no surprise the amount of garbage that the average highlight generation "fan" comes out with... regurgitating the media agendas...

couple of examples in recent times involving the villa... the media telling people that we boo'd gabriel agbonlahor when he was subbed... i lost count the amount of morons who slated us as a fanbase and insisted that we boo'ed the player... despite the fact that i was at the game and i know that the decision to sub him, was cheered... not boo'ed...

the villa fans boo'ing at the wigan game was compared by mick dennis to the millwall v west ham fans rioting and stabbing each other on sky sports news...

i dont trust or like the media in this country... i certainly dont believe the shit that they peddle, and i do believe that they have agendas...

i have never said that those agendas are against the villa...

[wookster]

Milner is not a squad player which is on of the reasons he likes playing at the Villa, cant see him wanting to be a super sub at Man City

[eastie]

Milner would be the star man at city within months and it would be Barry on the bench.

I can't see anything happening now until after the world cup as capello has stated club matters must wait as the players are on world cup duty.

Just Reading the new mon book and even at Celtic and Leicester he was known for his last minute dealing- I expect most of our transfers to be done in august so we might as well relax and enjoy the world cup.

They have the agenda to try and sell as many papers as possible and as much advertising space in those papers as they can.

There is no other agenda other than that. Unless you can come up with an alternative?

What happened to the ellipses link?

What happened to the ellipses link?

It was showing for me as a blank post, so I removed that part.

Let's have another go:

Pablo, if you don't know when ellipses are appropriate or not, try this link for some handy advice.
