I've got to be honest, I'm going to absolutely despite the little b@stard once he's playing for someone else.  I find it very difficult to like him in a Villa shirt with all his whinging, diving, and generally dickish behaviour.

I think he's nailed on for either ManUre or Citeh.

Wouldn't mind Jimmy back in exchange.

Not while he's on over £100k per week

Nothing to do with the money. Why would he leave a side that is looking to win the title 9not this year) and the CL, for one that is rebuilding from the wrong end of the table?

By that logic if Crewe Alex were to offer him an extra £30k per week he'd move to them. Money is an issue, obviously, but it is not the only one.

Poor example, If Crewe had been taken over by the World's Richest family yes, but they haven't.
If they had, they'd be a force in football

No chance of milner leaving city to come here , he's on great wages and the verge of the champions league- he's had plenty of games but knew that city would rotate anyway , from his comments he's loving life there and good luck to him.

I don't think it'll be the end of the World if he goes. He hasn't been in top form for a year or two,hasnt even been played in his best position for a season.

If GH can pull a No.10 type player out of the hat,someone who's better in that position than Ash,we should be ok.

I'd still take a look at someone like Sinclair at Swansea as a cheaper buy,as well as a more experienced player who can play Bent.

Based on our balance sheet, we could do with the £15m cheque I'd guess
Maybe, RL will give GH some of that money then in the summer ??

Ash has always given his all and been a good player for us , I wish him well and don't begrudge him his move if he goes. I think Milner was a bigger loss than ash will be and have seen many top players come and go , Gray, platt, and yorke to name just 3 - we will go onwards without ash and maybe albrighton will emerge a better player in the long run anyway.

But if they were a force in football it wouldn't all be about the money, would it?

Money & Success are intrinsicly linked sadly nowadays.

Obviously, but that's a different argument to the one you were trying to make a few minutes ago.
