within the guardian article is the crux of the whole milner leaving villa debate as mancini is trying to get rid of hughes`s signings and in turn when mancini fails because of the bottom feeders he has signed for cash and cash alone wont gel  and in turn milner will become surplus to requirements.milner who listening to mancini today will be a squad player that can play in "many positions" when in fact milner imo was only successful in the villa side in the middle and was completely obliviuos out wide where mancini will play him.it is a damn shame he has left for him and for us but as stated b4 we now need to move on with our new player ireland who may have a great season and become our player of a year and then become of interest to the next man shitty manager!

My ever-growing hatred for Man City has gone up about 237 steps. I cannot believe the shit that gets dribbled out on their discussion boards. They truly are lotto-winning chavs who don't see the irony that they've become everything they hated in Man Utd.....minus any silverware.

The paradox is that they're buying new players and discarding old ones like it's a slave-trade.

On the plus side, I honestly think that their level of classlessness has brought us a few steps closer to the day that football finally eats itself and gets puked back in the form that it should be. A day I very much look forward to.

Yeah, you're right, tis time to close up, move in and cheer on Ireland. Make him proud to be playing for the villa!

Aaaaaaaaaand relax!

I can see them shoving him out on the right wing.  What a waste.

[Mazrim]

Maybe so, but silva wont be sitting on the bench though

What will he be doing then, a bit of painting? He isnt fit to lace Milners boots. Just a pissweight overrated little spanish berk.

Why,  bet Milner makes more apearances during the season than silva

[midnite]

I hope so. I just think silva will get the nod. He'll be their heskey. LOL!

[villan1975]

i hope we are not alone in this but apart from the obvious team that needs to be beat for pride there is no team i want us to beat more than the pure chavness that is man f***in shitty.we can but hope that every team in the land feels the same and wherever they go they have a torrid time from players and fans alike!

[Villafirst]

Criticize him as much as you like but he gave everything every week even when he knew he was leaving. He is the best player we've had on the last decade and he'll go on to he the best england has.

I agree. As much as it hurts to see him go to that classless load of shite, you can't really blame him. It's a short career, and let's face it, he has a greater percentage chance of landing medals with a mega-rich club.  Villa will simply not break the top four with the current strategy. If we finish sixth yet again, I'll be happy with that. But, I  do think we'll see a lot more entertainment this year under Kevin Macdonald and perhaps a cup win thrown in. Ireland is simply a stunning signing with £18M on top! Stupid, more money than sense Arab owners! I entirely agree with SAF over their moronic kami-kaze spending!!

You are all forgetting, with the homegrown rule Milner and Barry are under less threat than the many foreign players at the club.

They will be in the squad, most likely, but they can put out an all non-English XI if they want.

[Holtemeister]

The current strategy is our only strategy and we only have that because we have such a good owner..... get used to losing our best players while football is in this self destruct mode ..... appreciate Young, Albrighton and Clarke while you can because as sure as eggs are eggs they will be gone as soon as a stupid bid comes in.

There comes a point where its just plain daft to say no !!!!

[JJ-AV]

I'd put money on their starting midfield being: De Jong, Toure, Milner, Johnson and Silva by the end of the season.

Unless we use the Milner money to reinvest cleverly long term and improve and then get to the stage where we don't have to sell anymore?

Spurs did it, they lost Carrick, Berbatov and Keane for £70million. Now they've the likes of Modric signing 5 year deals despite interest from Man Utd.

We've brought in £40million for Barry and Milner. And reinvested £12m of it back in on Dunne and Ireland.

That's the sort of business that will get us into the top 4 long term, IMO. Knowing when to let go.

So has anyone else noticed that Randy that has gone back on his word? Or is it just me?
