Milner plans to slap in transfer request to force through City move http://bit.ly/9CwPbK #astonvilla


I love these sort of quotes from the daily rags.

We're supposed to be in the middle of the World Cup with an England camp supposedly not allowed to be worrying about there domestic sides.  Its all easy journalism and agent hype.

If city offer £28m and chelsea don't match him then of course we sell him to city Greg,the highest bidder and the best deal for us is what matters.

I'd hate to see him at Chelsea being corrupted into another cole , terry and lampard type .



Just don't see any benefit in weakening our team and making one of our main competitors for 4th stronger. will cost us far more in the long run.

If there's any truth in the story then the C**t can rot in hell for all I care. Get rid to whoever is willing to pay......

I'd actually be pleased if he "slapped" in a transfer request.  At least it would show some balls - unlike Barry who wanted his cake (otherwise known as "loyalty" payments) and eat it.

So, on the basis of some spurious tabloid article claiming that he may want to go, which is probably complete bollocks, you want to let one of the very few creative players we have go to a team we need to be competing with if we ever want to break this cycle of finishing sixth every year?

I think this deal could fund some major changes at VP unfortunately I don't trust the current manager to spend the money well. As I said earlier if ever there was a reason not to buy English players then today was testament to that. We're screaming out for flair/technique something English players currently lack.

I see that Jimmy came out with the amazing insight that England had fallen short of the nations expectations.

Well didn't he buy Milner in the first place and possibly make £18mil profit on him?

£18m profit minus any sell on clause that Newcy included when we bought him.
