The Milner Novela... Final episode page 296

[TaxDodger]

I still have to keep pinching myself that Manchester City are able to steal the best players of clubs like Villa and Everton. Can't they go back to being in the third tier and worshiping journeymen like Shaun Goater?

[Jon Crofts]

Sell him to a Serie A club & watch him struggle.

[eastie]

Apparently o neill was trying to offer him a vastly improved contract but milner wasn't interested and stated he wanted to go to Manchester city- what price loyalty in football these days?

O neill says he can join city but the fee to be agreed still.

[PaulTheVillan]

Bye Milner you ugly ******.

I'll be booing you when you come back to Villa Park.

[Mazrim]

After we gave him his own Chuck Norriseque thread too. Fucking jug eared judas.

[sid1964]

Get the deal done as quickly as Barry's was last summer!!

Agree a fee and bye bye James!!

Just hope that the money we receive is spent on quality players and not players just to boos the squad size!

With 20+ million surely we can buy a couple of top quality footballers that are going to make the difference and not just sit on the bench each week.

[Malandro]

He is the future of the England midfield, with that and new rules about homegrown talent, I think thirty million is not ridiculous.

Disappointed however. Life goes on.

[Chris Smith]

Well I'm glad it's all out in the open.

He's dead to me.

[PaulTheVillan]

Apparantly we want £30m.

Ireland could be included in the deal.

Hopefully.

[AsTallAsLions]

I had a lot of time and love for Milner but I can't help feeling it's a major flaw in a player's character if they want to effectively move sideways to a club that will pay them massive bonuses but can't guarantee them Champions League football or any significant improvement on the level of football they're receiving at Villa (top four challenge, occasional cup finals, more or less guaranteed international football).

Contrary to that, City have yet to reach a final since they started throwing their money around, and he most certainly would not be guaranteed international football if he's going to sit on the Eastlands bench for a good portion of the season.

Thanks James, and goodbye.

[PaulTheVillan]

Well I'm glad it's all out in the open.

He's dead to me.

Hope he rots in hell :)

He's going to be a jouneyman, how many clubs has he had already? I bet he will beat Bellamy or Keane for the number of clubs when he retires.

[AsTallAsLions]

He's going to be a jouneyman, how many clubs has he had already? I bet he will beat Bellamy or Keane for the number of clubs when he retires.

Leeds, Newcastle, Villa. Three; hardly huge numbers for a 24 year old.

He's moving because City have flashed huge bills at him, not because he's restless for somewhere new.

[Matt Collins]

It's not a sideways move though is it? With that amount of money, Citeh will be playing champions league football within 2 years I'm sure.

We're much more unlikely to.

[ozzjim]

Interesting stance of our two best players. Ashley Young - I have a lot to thank Villa for an want to commit to the club etc.... Milner, arguable who has more to be grateful for wants to feck off for the dirty pound. Bye James. Don't let... did it hurt?
