The Milner Novela... Final episode page 296

[Mazrim]

For the price we paid for him (which now seems relatively small but not at the time) I doubt there was a sell on clause included.

Correct.

We had the sell on clause cancelled due to paying a reported £12m for him.

[JUAN PABLO]

If only we had got him the first time , when the barcodes called him back last minute. Probably would have made an extra £7 million   ;-))

[vilan461]

be interesting when they come home--see how quickly things get moving----and the effects, if any of beng in close proximity to Barry and the Cheslski mob on J.M. Hope he makes his intentions known very early so that we all know the score,and MON can get on preparing for the new campaign,

[boboonthecorner]

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.

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

I believe he may of done yes. I just think that his policy of buying mainly British players isn't really getting us anywhere. Hence the fact that the past two years our best players don't want to be here. Despite what a lot of people tend to believe it's not just because of the money. I think if Spurs were interested in Milner he'd seriously consider what they had to offer.


I'm not sure what price Mesut Ozil would go for, maybe £20m? Seriously would anybody really take James Milner above this guy for the same money let alone £28m?

[Mazrim]

The past two years our best players dont want to be here?
You mean Barry, the only example, who wasn't even our best player?

Not much of a fact.

Sorry my wording was incorrect, I didn't mean to state it as a fact it was my opinion. Like it or not Milner is our best player and I think we will soon find out that he doesn't want to be here either.

"Hence the fact that the past two years our best players don't want to be here".

So, Barry wanted to leave but wasn't our best player and nobody knows what Milner, if he is our best player, is thinking.

Yes I apologise I have just edited that. I have worded that incorrectly, I meant it as my opinion not a fact. As you have also correctly stated Milner(In my opinion) is our most valuable asset and maybe not our best player. Although he's not far off it!

[Captain Trips]

I think we do know what Milner is thinking. Everyone saw the pre WC interview he gave where he refferred to having enjoyed his time at Villa. In the past tense, he will be off very soon.

I don't think may bookies will be offering very good odds for him to be a Villa player by the start of next season.

I just think the money if spent correctly could benefit us more than keeping Milner........

He may well be off, we dont know. But I wouldn't judge anything based on that interview. He also said in the same paragraph:
"we've had a lot of success this season, came close in two competitions, and we are moving forward."

If you can deduce that he's off based on that I'd like to know how.

I'm sure we'll find out very soon.

[Monty]

Sell him for hysterical amounts if he wants to go and attempt to bring in Montolivo if we can.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

The thing is, Man City will pay all that money for him and play him out wide. Why would he want that when he's not actually that good in that position?
