The Milner Novela... Final episode page 296

[march]

I think Milner might end up at Liverpool. Any or all of Mascherano, Gerrard and Torres would provide the cash. Plus he'd be guaranteed a shirt almost. I think at Man City he could just disappear and Milner must have that at the back of his mind.

and what would he do at Liverpool with a worse squad than at Villa, feed Ngog or Gabby ?

Torres or Heskey

Torres will be there then ?

then have a bond of worth I think £80m up soon so exactly where will £30m come from

Liverpool basically have one quality forward and thats it

dont know if he will be, but it doesnt sound like Barca or Real can afford him, so that leaves City, Again

and Chelsea, Roman would splash out for Torres

That bell end Nursey is still gnawing his favourite bone:

Aston Villa have told Man City they will accept a player in part-exchange for James Milner.

City are set to return with a formal second offer for Villa's England midfielder later this month.

But the two clubs are struggling to agree a fee after City's first bid of £18million plus £2m in add-ons was rejected.

Villa are holding out for between £25-28m for the versatile midfielder, who has 11 caps.


But they have told City that Villa boss Martin O'Neill does fancy several fringe members of the Eastlands' club's squad.

Now it is increasingly likely Villa may take cash plus one of City's out-of-favour stars like Stephen Ireland, 23, or Nedum Onuoha, 23, in part-exchange.

O'Neill will need another attacking central midfielder to replace Milner, which makes Ireland attractive.

And Villa are also expected to buy a new right-back this summer with Luke Young heading for the exit.

[Pete3206]

Looks like this media hype frenzy that surrounds 'flavour of the month' players is going to benefit Villa for a change. You'd think Milner was Lionel Messi, the way he's been built up.

Ireland for Villa PLEASE!!!!

[not3bad]

Apparently Man City are preparing a last 'take it or leave it' offer.  Haven't we already had a couple of them?

[Des Little]

It makes me laugh.  They clearly want him, and have more money than any club (or even country) could ever wish to have and they're pissing about with 'final offers' that are about 16p more than their first offer.  Clowns.

[Mazrim]

They havent made another bid since the first one was turned down a month or two ago.
So for all this talk of preparing another bid (presumably in some sort of bid kitchen) it hasn't happened yet.

I think we're just waiting for the swoop now.

[mshurst]

This is getting extremely old now, as others have already said.

Everyone is just waiting for City. MON has a strong idea of what he wants for Jimmy, and if City don't offer that then MON will just tell them to fack off.

It's that simple.

City have been told what to give Villa - they can afford it - so why the fuck not?

If Milner does go then he will severely regret it, he'll be a fringe player, much like those O'Neill wants in return. The only solid football he'll get is in training.

[el león Benidorm]

Had enough of this now. Its making my summer a misery.

Citeh need to put up or shut up.

If jimmy wants to leave, he can as long as we get enough for him to start again.

End of...

[mshurst]

Here here.

[IFWaters]

anyone know when Jimmy is back off his hols ?

[Matt C]

Couple of weeks time apparently

[MoetVillan]

in better news, this story is keeping a lot of shit reporters off the dole.  Anyone that can afford 200000/week for Yaya Toure just in wages, can afford to make a proper offer, or just move on.  Which makes me think nothing at all has happened since the first bid.  Nothing, nada, bo diddley, zip, bupkuss, fuck all

It was never going to during the World Cup - I think it was reported pre-tournament that Capello didn't want any of his players distracted by transfer negotiations.  Now with Jimmy on holiday it's also quiet, but if it happens I think it will be done soon after he gets back.

[MoetVillan]

Capello also said he was taking in-form, uninjured players.  Id rather he had opened the doors to players that wanted to do any negotiations, at least then they had excuses for not giving a hairy shit on the pitch (Cole and Milner, I dont mean you two)
