The Milner Novela... Final episode page 296

[WA Villan]

To me its about trading up all the time. we buy Milner for £10m, then sell for £30m. Buy three more for £10m ea,sell em for £90m. Improve each year which we have ever since MON/RL arrived. To me its a good plan, and thank you citeh for helping it work.The Barry money got us to Wembley and back into Europe. It got citeh 3 points more.....well done.

We have a plan backed up by business brains and football professionals. Citeh are a rich sons toy with a bluenose pulling the strings.

Bring on August and wet spam!

Yot forget we have Mon as manager, for every Milner there is a Beye, Harewood, Routledge, etc

I was going to say that its all a far cry from the James Milner awesomeness thread but was beaten to it by Mr Cooper, turns out he’s no different from the rest of them.

Decent player but it will be daylight robbery if we can get anything approaching £25m for him.

I'd push Man City all the way to £30M. After all, the dumb c***s were stupid enogh to pay £25M for that useless waste of space Joleon Lescott!! We should get rid as soon as - just another mercenary who is motivated by money. Once again, MON is letting the grass grow - nearly the end of July, three weeks into pre-season and no sign of any arrivals - great preparation!

Yes, glad I didn't contribute to that now except, I think, one post to say he is over-rated for which I was shot down in flames. He never struck me as being anything other than decent and I certainly didn't fall for the homespun, live with me Ma bit. He's always struck me as appearing to be a bit dim to be honest...

Love this, I always viewed Milner with a loaf of Hovis under his arm on one of those adverts.

[eastie]

I'm more worried whether randy is as committed to things as he was 4 yrs ago, from mons comments the pursestrings are very tight and maybe he feels he's taken us as far as he can, he has spent a lot but must continue to spend a lot if we are to progress.

Another star will soon replace milner as has happened here many times down the years, but he has tarnished things by refusing to even discuss a new contract and showing his desire to leave.

At least Barry stayed a good few years and gave long service , James has jumped ship at the 1st chance,the grass may not be as green when sitting on a star studded bench.

[curiousorange]

Milner has made his choice and we can't do a thing about it. We don't have to respect or understand that decision though, just treat it as fact.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Villa fans in "angry and disappointed one of their best players is just another greedy twat" shocker.

Oh I agree entirely, it was just the grief some of us got for pointing out that Milner would probably be just another greedy twat once someone like Citeh came dangling their wads in his face that amuses me.

"No way, he's not in it for the money" came the cry!

Go back two summers when Barry wanted away. Would you say asa club we've moved forward and matched his ambitions?

Obviously the money helps but all players want to play with the best players around them, they've theoretically more chance of winning something.

If you think about Lescott the old adage once bitten twice shy might come into play.

Didn't he get pretty much straight As/A stars at GCSE? I may be imagining this but I seem to remember reading it at some point.

I've got a goldfish that could do that at today's standards.

I must add that I do  not want Fat Barry back under no circumstances.

He just isn't good enough.

Yes, was thinking that as I was writing my post to be honest. However, I know plenty of dim, well qualified people and some of the 'brightest' I have ever come across have barely an O or A Level to their name...

[stevenjos]

and here we go.....

good luck Jimmy, enjoy competing in europe. send us a postcard

[MoetVillan]

Best of luck James, I hope you get the chance to develop that we gave you over the last couple of years.  In better news, I look forward to looking down at your potential new team languishing below us in the league, and you feeling some regret and remorse that you left the best team in the world.  You shit bag

[KevinGage]

Barry, Ireland and £15 million and I wouldn't tell them to fack off straight away.

The recent WC might have have shown up his lightning slow turn of pace at the very top level, but he could still fulfill a vital role for us. Either calming things down or starting attacks with quick, accurate diagonal balls.

At Citeh he's just a face, one of the many midfielders they have on their books (12 is it?). He probably feels a bit lost and unloved. Shame.
