The Milner Novela... Final episode page 296

I like these future criticisms of O’Neill. I’m going to give it a go.

Taking Delph off in 70th minute is the reason we’ve lost two FA Cup semi-finals in a row.

 Its hella fun!

I think you could be right however remember Delph has not played many games since his return from injury  and  we should have defended  the corner better when Ridgwell headed  in the winner for Blues. <ouch>

You should be banned for that and you should then book yourself into your nearest mental institution as you pose a significant risk to the public, you lunatic.

Just check in at Highcroft. Changed a lot since my last stint.  Made friends  with Coopers Injury already!

Stop it all of you. Milner is NOT going anywhere. We , the fans, are going to use Cameron's Big Society idea to buy him and loan him back to the Club. We will charge the club 100 pounds per yard covered by  Jimmy on the pitch . The Big Society will break even  sometime in season 2015/16 and this idea  is inline with   the long term aspirations  and people power  for BIG SOCIETY as described by DC.

I think you're misunderstanding the plans as outlined for the BIG SOCIETY by our glorious coalition government.

Under the plans, you will have the chance to contribute by actually being James Milner. Think of it as your way of giving something back.

Why, I myself am going to be Habib Beye, Mark Fletcher is already in training to take over to become Richard Dunne, and Mark Kelly is consuming 15,000 calories and 80 fags a day to become John Robertson.

Chris is doing his bit by becoming Jack Woodward.

Can we keep your Labourite whinging to the Off-Topic section please?

Anyway, did anybody hear Mancini state that the Italian player they're after may be their last business of the summer? Could be a tactic to try and “scare” us, not that I imagine we’re baulked by media games or it could be good news that they’re not going to continue their pursuit.

I hope he stays as he was bleedin world class last season and if he goes to city he won't working with such a good manager as martin.

Dear lord, I've read it all now.

Wha are ya bleedin saying? stop disrespecting our manager,he's one of da best in the world

this might go down well in "da hood" but we're mostly old farts here and speak the Queen's English not Ghetto.

thanks

Word.

[PaulTheVillan]

Martin and Milner are good, not the best and certainly not world class.

as i have said many many times before,  Mr Milner isnt going anywhere
Apparantly the deal has gone stale and james milner is staying at villa.  I think Ashley Young wouldnt of come out and said what he said about wanting to stay if he thought milner was doing one.

The days of us being a feeder club are long gone

Get robbie keane in for a couple of seasons, score some of them goals that heskey was missing last season , get us into 4th place,  then we can attract the better players :-)

Unfortunately, I have heard he is going. Verbal agreement before Milner went on hols. It will move when he is back.

I think that is why we are linked to more players and why the players eg Downing & Petrov have spoken in the press.

[pmk1981]

verbal agreement maybe but it isnt a binding contract :-)

Manchester City are in talks to sign Brazil's £30m-rated World Cup midfielder Ramires from Benfica after a deal for Aston Villa's James Milner stalled.

[Mazrim]

I dont see how he can have had a verbal agreement with Man City when he hasn't had permission to speak with them.

File under 'Owshty Bowsh'.

I meant the club not the player.

Correct. But I think that story is rubbish. One of the reasons they want Milner is that it helps with the home grown quota.

Also why buy an untested Ramires (in the Prem) for £22m when you can get Milner for probably £3m more??

Haven't they just sold the Argie guy for big money as well? De Angel?

Pmk - I admire your optimism but don't believe all you read in the papers, I understand that milner wants to leave and therefore it's best to let him go.

[pmk1981]

booooooooooooooooo

First things first.

Man City have to make us an offer that we find acceptable. Only then can Milner decide if he wants to go or not.
