Bye James, you selfish, ambitious, over-rated, big-eared nephew of Lee Evans.

[eastie]

Glad we had a chance both ways to pay our respects to James on Saturday and for him to thank us - very few clubs have fans with the class to give that ovation to him and a special moment!

Good luck to James and welcome Stephen , I wish both well!

[stevenjos]

Good luck James, shall we start a new thread on who will be our next player of the season to go?

Go for it.

[Countryside Villain]

Bye James, you selfish, ambitious, over-rated, big-eared nephew of Lee Evans.

Seriously?  Only the last one can really be justified.  You can't criticise him for being ambitious, I don't think his actions are any more selfish than you or I looking for another job and as for over-rated, well I think he's a bigger loss to our team than a gain for theirs.

[garyshawsknee]

Its just a shame that he's not getting the best advice for his career,which would be to stay with us where he'll be a big fish,compared to City where he probably wont play every game. Every pundit i've heard,from the good ones to the bad ones say its not the right move for him.

[Percy McCarthy]

How much we getting?

Apparently worth £25m.....

Well to me it's £43m, because if Milner is worth £25m so is Ireland.

[john e]

whats the difference between Milner and Barry,
apart from one gave us 10 years service and the other a couple ?

one said he wanted to leave for CL football and still hasnt found it,
both left for more money, both will cite ambition to win trophies
both Wanted to leave

Milner was a good player for a short time for us,
Barry was the best player we've had over the last 10.

both served the Villa well, but in the years to come i will remember Barry more fondly than Milner

[Salsa Party Animal]

Apart from money. Why did James want to move there. Aston Villa is a bigger club than Manchester City, they are just a rich club.

Agreed. And Barry had the decency to explain his reasons for leaving as well. Unlike Milner who has come across as a bit snide and sneaky in all this.

[cb]

To be fair to him, he's never caused any trouble at city (from what I can gather). There were special circumstances around Grannygate (although it was badly handled, you can't really blame the guy).

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.

It's no shame for us. I'm glad we'll have an international class player, who won't be playing international football. The Irish team can go and fuck themselves as far as I'm concerned.

[Michel Sibble]

Oh, come on! Milner's now a money-grabbing ***t and Barry's a Villa legend?

Barry gave us 11 years service. Milner buggered off after 2 years. I know who I'll more fondly remember.
