Concrete Ron is the reason that little piggy cried all the way home.

Concrete Ron can lead a horse to water AND make it drink.

Much as these jokes on this thread are appreciated, what concerns me is the deal appearing in limbo. To me, It looks very much a sell to buy situation with little cash for PL to spend.

Possibly, or the deal may just be on hold until after the American tour.  I'm still in relaxed mode myself.

After his comments following the story leaking, I'd be very surprised if we don't sign him.  In fact, I'd say the only reason it won't happen is if we decide to go for someone else instead.

According to SSN, a move to Villa is a 'dream move'.

Fugsake...Milner isn't even that good. Let him be a workhorse winger on the bench half the time for twice the money.

He certainly looks mortal now he's at Man City.  I wonder how he'll feel when he remembers how much he was appreciated at Villa.

Doubt he cares. Trophies, money, right wing and the England team. As opposed to no trophies, less money, centre midfield and the England squad at Villa.

If I was him I'd do exactly the same. Although I imagine once his appearances become even more limited he'll drop back down a level and be a star again.

Apparently from what I've heard he often talks to people about us and has a genuine feeling for AVFC.

From what I was told, he never even wanted to leave. MON engineered it to bring funds into the club to allow him to pursue his targets (like McGeady). Also heard that Milner was in the middle of a very expensive refurbishment of his house and with a young family, had no plans to go anywhere.

Something else we have to thank MON for.
