The Milner Novela... Final episode page 296

[Comrade Blitz]

So Ashley Young on the left and SWP on  the right wing is no good then?

Is this the Milner thread or the Politics thread? and why is the Socialist Workers' Party on the right?

[DB]

Footballers or agents treat clubs like a job or a business, soon as a better job offer comes with more money, they are off. Days have gone for me of singing a players name before a match, don't get too attached.
As long as we can take Citeh for a smuch as we can we can replace him with a few players who can offer more (just like we did with Platt.), I'm not gonna cry when he goes.

[JUAN PABLO]

As Siralex is mates with MON and not keen on shitty of course, he might have said He wanted Milner , to help villa get a better deal off Shitty and take the piss out of Shitty more.  would be nice If that happened.


On Milner , It was cash thats why he wanted to move...

Not sure if that's really likely to happen in professional football - but like you say, would be funny if it were happening!

Its a long shot I know but wouldnt it be nice if we could splash the cash on the German Ozil if we dont get Ireland. All in all we just need this over and done with now as it is starting to drag on far too long.

I'm sure we could afford him, he has only a year left on his contract so if he goes will only go for £12-16m. However, not only can we afford him; Man Utd, Bayern, Inter, Real, City, Juve - they can all afford him as well.

[xbiggy]

He did say he would like to move to the Prem but could we really be a tempting proposition for him.......

[Monty]

That's the problem. Besides, he said he didn't want to leave this year, wants to honour his contract with Werder. Which is code for running it down so he can leave to go anywhere without Werder's interference, but hey, we can't complain about "contracts meaning nothing" and then about running down contracts as well.

[xbiggy]

If Werder got a decent offer for him bearing in mind he only has a year left would he be given the option by them to run it down or would they not just ship him out......Any how its  just a pipe dream really but it would be nice to think we could tempt him some how. This day and age all a contract really means is that the club can get a better fee if the player wants to go depending on how many years of the contract are left.......

[Monty]

The player holds the cards, of course, and if he really doesn't want to go or doesn't want to go to the club Werder reach an agreement with, it seems he's more than happy to wait a year and negotiate completely freely next summer. He is very young, remember, and has all the time in the world on his side.

[TheSandman]

It would be so ironic if he took Barry`s place in the starting line up.

Yes and then in a year Delph went and took his place.

I've said this before but if it doesn't work out for him there or if they god help us all actually win something or qualify for the CL he'll be on the bench or the transfer list.

[cheltenhamlion]

It just needs getting put to bed now. Let everyone get on with the new season.

[Dick Edwards]

Milner is a good player but hardly irreplaceable. If we get £15m in addition to Ireland that's exceptional businesss. Football is very fickle.
As little as 18 months ago we'd have had to give Man City Milner plus that   
same amount of cash to get Ireland, such was the form of the same two players.

[stevenjos]

So....errrr..... why is this deal going through whilst we have no manager?

[Villa'Zawg]

So....errrr..... why is this deal going through whilst we have no manager?

because we need the money to balance the books.
