The reason Man C are apparently/reportedly willing to pay £28m (no such bid has yet been made) is because we do not have to sell, not because he is worth that amount.


The reason they were trying to do it quickly (and probably leaking it to the press), is that now he's a world cup starter, that will be at least £40m thank you.

Milner starting for England v USA. That's got to add a couple of million to the price


Or a couple of million off, he's having a 'mare.

Looked unfit. They said he has lost a stone this week, wonder if he simply was not strong enough after the shits all week.

If that's true, you'd have to say his selection for the first team is slightly odd!

he froze

not that the others Heskey apart who was superb, shows what a real motivational manager can do for him, and odd flashed from Rooney, Gerrard and Johnstone, were that impressive against a side who had a work ethic and sweet fa else.

On that showing Milner will be with us for another season at least.

Good man Heskey mind

He had a stinker, feel sorry for him. Being replaced by Wright-Phillips was an insult though, God knows why Capello didn't put Cole on instead.

Joe Cole wasn't on the bench.

A surprise. I'd have started him.

Ah, I didn't see the bench. As much as I rate Milner, Cole should definitely be starting ahead of him on the wing whereas Wright-Phillips should be back in England; awful, frustrating player that he is.

I'll offer a couple of used cufflinks, a button and $5.20 for James Milner, oh and he has to wash my company car once a week as well.

Seriously, he didn't look right today and was starved of the ball as well. I don't think he should have played at all. Where's Joe Cole?

It was 20 minutes until he touched the ball, strange decision to play him if he hasn't trained all week.

Must be frustrating for him played well in the centre and on the right all season then gets picked on the left.

He certainly did. Completely anonymous so I hope there was a good excuse. Still, as someone who thinks he's decent but hugely over-rated by Villa fans, I'm not so sure...

I'd be surprised if milner starts another game in the world cup-Barry should be fit on Friday anyway, but james milner was really poor last night, if not fit he should have said so beforehand.

Heskey played quite well last night but again one on one with the game to win he hit his shot straight at the keeper, a striker must score goals and emile simply is not good enough .

He wouldn't have been made to suffer the ignominy of being hauled off after 30 minutes for any other reason than injury/illness. No matter how poorly he was playing.

Do you really think the assessment of Milner was down to -

"How are you feeling son?"

"OK, boss"

"Right, you're in".

As for Heskey your comments are a little begrudging, he was England's best player last night.
