The Milner Novela... Final episode page 296

If Barry wants to keep his england place he will probably have to leave city as I can't see him getting a regular start next season-I know I'm in the minority but i'd take him back , plus Ireland plus £15m for milner!

[Merv]

So we'd end up with a midfield combo of Barry and Ireland next season? A kind of 'the partnership City never wanted' set-up?

[eastie]

Barry , Ireland and petrov would all be available, if we had the money city have then obviously that wouldn't be our midfield either but sadly we don't have a bottomless pit!

Ireland is a class player who a year ago would probably have commanded a bigger fee than milner.

We need the options of sometimes playing 2 wide men and sometimes going with 3 in the middle and if milner goes I'd like to see 2 new midfielders in and a striker as our main priority this summer.

I can't see them selling Barry but even if they do there are very few clubs who could afford the wages he's now on and we're definitely not amongst them.

Which is great as far as I'm concerned because I don't want the fat bullshitter back.

[eastie]

I think if Barry wants regular football he will find it hard getting it at man city, mAncini didn't sign him and if Barry does leave he would probably have to take a big drop in wages wherever he went.

[TheSandman]

We won't re-sign him. He won't come back; MoN won't take him back.

He also won't be getting much game time at Money City and will look to move. I can't see where he could go if I'm honest. Wage drop or not.

Liverpool?

[MoetVillan]

I think Barry always wanted first team football, and the huge money was a draw.  Hughes told him his plan and showed that Barry would be a major part of it.  I think he would rather take a cut in wages and keep playing than stay on a higher wage and miss games.  I could be wrong, but when money gets that high, and the tax man takes half anyway, I doubt he notices.  He wants to play for england, and play games.  And if City dont get him that, but someone else does, be it us even (I think he would play for MON without issue) I could see him moving.

Spurs?

He reckons he's a Spurs fan, not that I believe a word that fat, lying, grasping moneybox says.

Probably the two most viable options for him. But Liverpool have no money unless they sell Torres or Mascherano or Gerrard.

Spurs is probably the more likely option but Huddlestone had a very good season so he might not dislodge him. I'd say it's Spurs if anywhere.

[Mazrim]

Yaya Toure and De Jong will be a really difficult midfield to break through.

With Adam Johnson and another winger they could be right up there next season.

Hardly has me quivering in my boots I have to say...

More legs and engine than Milner and Petrov.

Exactly the same amount of legs and NOBODY has the engine of James Milner. Nobody.

[JUAN PABLO]

Barry to sign for Spurzz probbaly...

[Somniloquism]

And Milners price has risen again for NOT playing a part in the match tonight.

[JUAN PABLO]

And Milners price has risen again for NOT playing a part in the match tonight.

I think everyones value went down tonight

Gerrard signs for Hinckley Utd  £1.95

Lampard signs for Tamworth   76p

heskey signs for Stoke £3.89

Ashley cole signs for Nuneaton  £1,83

Rooney signs for Accrington Stanley 14p

John Terry signs for Dagenham and Redbridge    78p

Aron Lennon   swop for Carbone from Villa masters 5 - a -side

glen  Johnson signs for Blackpool £2.35

[Grande Pablo]

But if Crapello shakes things up Milner could well start against Slovakia - a win would see his value increase.
