Olneythelonely thinks there are legs in this yet.

[TheSandman]

Would you know if he feels content to stay at the club?

I don't think he's the type to throw a tantrum and be a twat but I don't know for sure.

[JUAN PABLO]

Well JP I sincerely hope you're right.

Well thats what James feels..I can only tell you what James is saying....




We should get him on a new contract then at 70k now, If the bastards think they are going to get him cheaper next summer

Olneythelonely thinks there are legs in this yet.

Dum dum dum, dummy doo wah
Ooh yay, yay, yay, yeah
Oh oh oh, oh oh ah

[PaulTheVillan]

I want us to sell him, else I doubt we'll have any serious money to spend, so we can get 3 good players in to improve us.

What tells you a) we don't have any money b) haven't tried to sign any players already only for them to not be interested or our bids have been rejected?

Gut feeling really. We've not had any serious links to anyone this summer and I doubt we've put an offer in for anyone.

It's getting stale and very boring.

If we go into next season with the squad we've got now then I can't see us finishing in the top 6 again.

[Rancid custard]

Villa have told him that they will let him speak to Man City (or any club presumably) if they match our asking price (thought to be £30m).

It's what we did with Barry, it's how we operate.

I quite like this stance. Either Man City come up with the figure that's a lot nearer to the £30m or presumably they have a word with Milner's agent to persuade him to put in a transfer request to shave £3m off the price. That should concentrate minds.

You'd think that after the whole Barry saga with the Scousers that more teams would take note that MON is not one top be trifled with if they want one of our best players. pay the asking price or fuck off - and when you get there fuck off some more.

[rob1972]

Why keep him to loose £10m on him next summer? He will have no interest in signing a new contract so we will loose money on him like we did on Barry! we might not let other clubs take the piss but we still loose in the long term!

[eastie]

If he stays we will end up having to sell Jin next year for about £12m or risk getting nothing a year later.

If £24m is offered I'd snatch their hands off, we can rebuild a bit with that kind of money, if not I see us just stagnating.

[pauliewalnuts]

Just had the latest from the club's relentless spam output, encouraging me to "follow the lads in Portugal", and there's only a great big pic of Milner training (clearly today) on it.

OMG.

then Ashley,then Gabby we'll be constanly rebuilding if our best players are prised away from us without a fight

Without a fight? Jesus fucking wept that is rubbish. If we discourage them from signing him by asking for a ridiculous fee (He is nothing like a £30million player) I think that is a fight somehow.

[Chris Smith]

If £24m is offered I'd snatch their hands off, we can rebuild a bit with that kind of money, if not I see us just stagnating.

If we do that then clubs know that if we quote a price we don't mean it. They pay what we ask or they fuck off and we keep our best player of last season.

[eastie]

And they come back in a year and get him for £12m- Im sure if mon said let's take the £24m chris, you would be the first on here praising him saying how great a deal mon has got us.

If he doesn't sign a new contract take the money on offer now and move on!

But money is no object supposedly. All Shitty are bothered about is looking like mugs well I'm sorry the price is supposedly 30 million not 24 million.We didn't want or need to sell him.Pay top wack or fuck off

[TheSandman]

Sorry VILLALWAYS I have the wrong end of the stick here. I was just back in at the time and my mind and concentration must have been all over the place.

I must have read only what you posted without reading properly what you quoted from east19 (I thought you were on about losing him without a fight later on after standing firm). I agree with you. They should pay what we want. We don't as Mazrim put it the other day want them to wipe their dick on our curtains. £30million or £20million plus Ireland for me.
