The Milner Novela... Final episode page 296

[wozwebs]

Same channel reported he was left out an hour ago

I'd say he's shacked up in a bed and breakfast in Manchetser at the moment anyway.

SSN: Milner’s named in our squad to face West Ham. Wonder what kind of reception he will get if he plays…
If he does play then I’m expecting a Dwight Yorke performance against Everton all over again.

Bizarrely, I think he'll play his heart out.

Exactly what we should be doing, playing our best players and NOT pandering to Shitty City, and I also agree that he will play his heart out... he always does, he doesn't know any other way of playing.

Do I take it we haven't managed to exchange our 'greedy bastard' for their model of Professionalism who is only asking for a sweetener to soften the hardship of having to play football for a living for another team on ludicrously low wages?

Must be horrible for the likes of Dunne and Ireland having to be paid to join such an awful club as Aston Villa, hopefully Ireland will see how Dunne has managed to turn his life around having struggled through such adversity.

Premier league footballers are an inspiration to us all.

Couldn't agree more mate, but I'm afraid that's just the way it is these days. Players have way too much power and control, but it aint gonna change..

A reporter on SSN said as an add on to his report on the Ireland impasse that City have put a deadline of Sunday on Ireland, presumably to accept the deal and added that the deal may then go ahead on a straight cash basis.

Pat Murphy said that Villa still want £30m for Milner if it's straight cash, so that would kill the move unless City pay up.

I'm no fan of Alan Sugar but he called it correctly many years ago about the clubs blowing the extra millions on paying the players stupid money.

No wonder people fall out of love with the game.

[DrGonzo]

Can we add Ireland to the thread title please, he may be the deciding factor after all of this...

Wouldn't fancy Milner will be starting this weekend after the lack of a pre-season, he didn't look at his sharpest when he came on for England.  But won't be suprised if he makes an appearance, and why not? If he's still our player he should be picked ahead of the likes of Sdders and Re-okie-dokie, imo.

[eastie]

No way that we would risk playing milner tomorrow- one he's had no pre season as such and also they wouldn't risk him getting injured and missing out on all that cash.

[olaftab]

Can I just say that Milner isn't going any where. 14 August v West Ham no. 8 shirt  will say MILNER.

Milner in the squad for tomorrow. I did tell you lot!

[D.boy]

I wonder who "interestedobserver" is?

Feel free to shorten link as I haven't got a scooby how to.

[TimTheVillain]

Dunno, but I hope he's correct ...............

[Phil from the upper holte]

I can't see City paying Ireland off, Then it will go to straight cash and they wont offer the £30m as Milner will not be first choice but they know Milner can't stay at Villa.

I think they are trying to force our hand on this

[tim]

Sky News just said Milner is in the team for tomorrow.
So he should be too. Until anything is signed then he remains a Villa player and should be treated as such. Man City should not be even considered when picking OUR team.
