In that case he made a wise move. Get the cash whilst you can and look after your family.Very wise move.

Don't think he has kids, or didn't two years ago...And I'd be inclined to think O'Neill wanted him to stay but when Milner heard about City's approach that was it.

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.
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.

I find that hard to believe. At the time it seemed like the prospect of both trophies and ££££ were huge factors. He was the single biggest loss to the club since Yorke (only we actually replaced Yorke by investing in Dublin and Merson).

Another consequence of having a fan blow the secrecy of the deal. If it was all being done behind the scenes as Villa like to do it wouldn't put so much pressure on getting things done. That said the player has made his feelings known and I'm sure that it will all get sorted out soon.

Its fair comment by Feyenoord.  They want to know which team picture to publish and whether its worth playing him their pre-season friendlies.
