The Milner Novela... Final episode page 296

[Chris Smith]

I've just been told that R5 are reporting that the deal is off due to a hitch at the City end. Didn't hear it myself so cannot confirm.

Far from it, far from it. They're reporting it's delayed due to the aforementioned payment that Ireland's demanding, but that it really should be resolved in good time.

Women!

Where?

[Monty]

It's all part of Garry Cooke's empty posturing. Doesn't want to be seen "being taken advantage of". Bit too late for that you complete and utter moron.

[SteveD]

Pat Murphy had a report that Ireland wants a £2m sweetener, which Citeh won't pay and it's held up the deal. Seems to think it will happen, eventually. Villa sticking to £18m + the man. Milner could still be ours on Saturday though....

[Mazrim]

Nah, I'm sure it will all go through tomorrow. That Cock-wrangler Gary Cook just cant help himeslf. He has to throw his spanner in somewhere.
I hope somebody drops an ACME 16 ton weight on his head.

It will be comically ironic if the wage demands of one greedy fucker scuppers the move for another greedy fucker.
They are all as bad as each other.

Yes, I must admit he's just the sort of player that I would want gracing the Villa Park turf. And I'm certain he will approach his role as a Villa man with dignity and maturity.

[The Man With A Stick]

He's fully entitled to the money as he hasn't asked for a move.  It's not as if they're short of cash, it's only about 2 months wages for Yaya Toure apparently.

[Nev]

If he was entitled to the money, City would have to pay and there would be no argument. He isn't so City are refusing to pay what has been described as a "loyalty" bonus. It may be a drop in the ocean for City, but fast forward a couple of years and we want to get rid.

I wouldn't touch him with a fuckin' barge pole.

[andyh]

my point is that neither of them of looking like they are putting their football needs/careers first.
They are both looking like money grabbing, mercenary bastards.
I don't doubt that they feel 'entitled' but, £2 million here, £4 million there, neither talking about winning trophies, representing great footballing teams etc.
If the moves go ahead, no doubt they will pledge undying love when they do their respective press conferences.
Footballers ?........meh !!

[pmk1981]

are you stoopid?  he is only doing this because they have billions !!!!  everyone apart from you fella can see this !!

[TimTheVillain]

Fair play to Ireland, fleece the bastards Superman :-)

LOVE IT !!

[hackneyvillain]

I don't have a problem with him trying to get a 2m payoff from City at all, in fact I kind of like it.

I'm also coming round to the fact that selling Milner for 18m and ireland, might be a very shrewd bit of business indeed.  If he comes here and makes anything like the impact that Dunne did, we cold be looking back at this at the end of the season and laughing at the whole thing.
