The Milner Novela... Final episode page 296

[Olneythelonely]

This is a good deal. Ireland is superman after all.

Im sure that was Johnson

no Ireland was superman with the superman pants and the bed sheets (mtv cribs)

I was thinkin of Johnson when he scored and dropped his trousers and he had superman pants on

You were thinking Johnson, but it was Ireland.

[cheltenhamlion]

See you Jimbo. All the best and let's hope you come home in the future.

Great deal for Villa for so welcome aboard Steve.

[Somniloquism]

Mancini hopes to sign Milner by Wednesday at the latest, saying: "I hope we can close it between today and tomorrow. I think Milner is a good player, an English player - which is important. I think he can play in different positions."

So he doesn't know much about Milner?

[BILL DE VALL]

so it seems that its all over...
only the medicals to pass
the Manc citie team will now look a lot better
hopefully SI will realise it's time to buckle down and work his pants off again
and again show their transfer policy to be daft(see Dunne)

Maybe he's thinking Milner back up to Hart as goal keeper and now he can sell Given to Fulham certainly wouldn't past O'neil if he was there Manager!

SSN showing Ireland arriving at Bodymoor Heath.

[PaulWinch again]

Good stuff, welcome Stephen hope you're awesome for us.

[beness]

How much we getting?

[villajk]

He's in personal talks.

No idea how much we're getting.

[Monty]

Idiot, in a way. You see Mancini saying "he can play in many positions" - that's how they view him, as a shift-him-about dogsbody, not the central fulcrum of the midfield.

Goodbye, James. You're making a mistake in my view, as you may win things short-term but you damn sure won't be first choice. You're not a holding player, for one thing.

Oh God, he's going to make him a holding player, isn't he! Oh well.

[The Man With A Stick]

The big minus is the whole business with the Irish squad. Such a shame he isn't playing, as we would have qualified for the World Cup if he was there. Still, as long as he does the business for the villa i don't care.

Or you could see it as a bonus that one of our players won't be travelling around Europe on international duty every few months.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

And football has died. Man City paid stupid money to buy a player because they could. No other reason. Just because they could.

Fuck off City and, though I didn't think I'd say this because he's great, fuck off Milner.

I agree. I was saying to someone at the weekend that they wouldn't do anything with Mancini in charge as he is way, way too negative. That's before you get onto them having a load of unhappy players and some troublesome guys there in Balotelli and Adebayor. My two cents is that they are building in entirely the wrong way. Instead of bringing in decent good players like Milner as well as up and coming talents like Johnson they've brought in players on big money, with bad attitudes and reputations far beyond their talents.

Also, I was absolutely perplexed that he picked Shite-Phillips the headless chicken ahead of Johnson to start at the weekend.

If I wasn't Irish I'd agree with you 100%!

[boboonthecorner]

How much we getting?

Apparently worth £25m.....
