The Milner Novela... Final episode page 296

[JJ-AV]

Fee agreed, medical today - SSN

No mention of Ireland.

edit: yes there is, Ireland coming the other way. Medical today as well.

[curiousorange]

Well, that's good news as well. Tada James, hello Steven.

[citizenDJ]

Well, looks like that's that, then. I notice that the reporter who broke the news mentioned that Milner has been "desperate" to join City. Well, if that's the case, then I think it's probably best all round that it gets done and dusted now, and we move on.
I hope Ireland can live up to his billing.........I think he will be excellent for us.

[PaulWinch again]

See you James, I'm glad you got that game on Saturday to go out in the right manner.

[richardhubbard]

Oh well, always thought Milner was overrated and talentless.

Joking - bye James , I think you made a mistake but thanks for last 2 years.

Hello Steven , I hope your prove to be as good as Dunne has been

[PaulTheVillan]

I think Ireland will be great for us. He'll offer much more style to his place and his work rate is very good.

I'd like to think we'll still go on and sign a striker and sell some of the shit (Sidwell, Beye, Heskey)

[Mellin]

Hopefully Saturday means we can avoid booing a good servant on his return.

Welcome to the Villa, Ireland.

[PaulTheVillan]

So that works out we've had Dunne & Ireland + £24m in exchange for Milner and Barry.

Thanks City.

Many indicators say that the deal will be done on Thursday whether Ireland is part of it or not.

What I'm wondering is if Randy can afford to let Milner go. And I'm not talking in the financial sense.
Look at the difference in team morale, the tactical options it gives the manager (whomever he may be), the ability to attract players of a similar standing, the lift it will give the crowd, the message it will send out to other clubs as well as the media, season ticket sales....

EDIT: Whilst typing that, SSN made a nonsense of that.

Maybe Mr Lerner has had the clearout he wanted by putting MON in a position where he had no option but to walk. Sidwell has had some good games but just needs a run in the team. he is damn site better than reo-coker........

[Percy McCarthy]

Potentially a great deal. Time will tell.

Hang on, I'm not watching SSN but this suggests the deal has been done and will be completed today? So what are you on about?

I don't think Troy is watching it either.

[citizenDJ]

I think that's a good point, Troy, but I don't think it will be too disastrous. Most people (including players) know that, in truth, there really isn't much any club can do to stop Man City taking the players they want, especially if the player wants to go.
Ireland is a good player, and seen by many as an ideal addition to the squad. I suppose of most interest now (well, aside from who the new manager will be, although that might not be unrelated!) is......will we spend that 'Milner Money'?!

[BannedUserIAT]

Ha ha!
Whilst I was typing, that 1pm press conference must have started (I told you I had no idea when it was 1pm for you).

Ah well. Let's hope Milner runs into Ireland in the car park, eh and the baldy bloke tells him all about Man City.
