The Milner Novela... Final episode page 296

[Phil from the upper holte]

Sounds as though Man C will not give in to Ireland.  So if Ireland will not give in, I think it will be straight cash.  So then who woul we go for?

Citeh will cave, because it'd cost them more to sign Milner for straight cash than pay off Ireland.

Can you see them payin £30m? I can't

Exactly my point.

Fingers crossed it goes through next week, We could have done with him tomorrow

Tuesday should be the day.

There is no way Man City will allow Milner to slip away. He's been such a high profile target, their collective egos wouldn't stand not getting what they want. They'll pay the money to SI in the end I'm sure.

Personally i don't think Milner should be anywhere near B6 tomorrow. What we need is a new start with players who wanna be here. Everyone needs to be 100% focused on cheering on the lads for 90 mins, not distracted by jeering someone soon to be gone.

I tend to agree.  Perhaps he is in the squad to gee up Man C to resolve things one way or another.  Doubt he will play so he might not even be there.  His only preseason has been 30 minutes for England?

Whilst he's not had much of a pre-season, he strikes me as the kind of bloke that could do abosultely nothing for  years yet still be remarkably fit.

Can't imagine he'd play considering the ridiculous value Villa have managed to convince Man City he's worth.

[Shrek]

SSN reporting we have put a deadline of sunday for the Milner deal to be resloved or he stays.

[Shrek]

Id start Milner tomorow all day long, we pay him so we should play him.

He would put a good shift in, so fuck Man city if they are fucking around.

Yes, great move if he gets injured. The club get no money for him and we miss out on a more than adequate replacement.

[Moorski]

Put Milner on the bench as he will need to get used to it,just ask him to warm up now & again towards the Holte End

[Arsey]

when does the 25 man squad have to be named by and does this include all cup games too?

[Toronto Villa]

when does the 25 man squad have to be named by and does this include all cup games too?

It's a PL rule, and the 25 man squad is declared at the end of the transfer window.

[alan_clarke]

I see Milner putting in more effort tomorrow than Ireland would should the deal have already been done

[Ross]

There is no way Milner will play tomorrow. Given our finances, it would be reckless in the extreme, plus I want everything to be on getting behind the coaches and players. I think there will be a good backs against the wall attitude from fans and players, and so we don't want that judas fecker anywhere near B6.

[BannedUserIAT]

If he's not a part of our 'bright future', then he's no place in the starting eleven. If needs must and we have to use him due to an injury then so be it. Use him. But only if absolutely necessary.
