As part of the Milner to Man City deal it seems we could be getting a player in exchange.

Would you like that to be Gareth Barry?

No.

If we want a slow fat bastard in midfield I'm nearly 10 years younger, on a free transfer and willing to accept just £40K per week.

And I can play right back!

Barry in and taking Petrovs place.  And if Milner is in the same position in a years time and we need him, I would do the same.  Im not choosing out of loyalty (because that would make me a mug)  I think Barry would give us an improvement in midfield.  I think if he had stayed, we may have gone fourth last season

I wouldn't mind, I still think he could do well for us. I'd prefer Ireland really though.

Too slow, fact, saw that against the Germans. Too defensive and we have that type of player. Need a defence splitting passer of a midfielder, that is going to get everyone noticing the Villa, then next season he will move on again to Citeh!

I dont think his passing is in question, far from it, and ball retention is excellent.  His pace is the tough sell, but thats why I would use him to replace Petrov and look to Delph to make it his position long term

No.

Leaving everything else to one side, with possible exception of Sid Cowans, I can't think of anyone at the Villa who has proved the "never go back" adage to be wrong.

No, we need someone creative, who can change a game. Defour perhaps?

Whatever the situation with Milner leaving, however pissed off we are that it looks like happening, let's not forget Barry's Evening Mail front page letter to the fans.

That's a no.

Great idea, would give enough time for Mon, to find a replacement. He would last 3 seasons surely
