i dont think it will be long before we get a statement from the club stating he's not for sale at any price. plus i think his new contract will be signed next week as soon as he's back on home soil. i then hope MoN take the initative and gets the rest of the unsellable on long contracts asap.

for me the simple fact is this is Man City's way of unsettling rhe player, normally teams will tap the player up via his agent, but seeing as Jimmy is represented by the PFA i dont think that would be very wise, now until villa come out or jimmy does that he's not for sale and staying a villa i can see them doing the same as the lescott saga last year where the price keeps going up and the players head is turned, the 1 thing i think will be different to that is jimmy doesnt seem to be motivated by the money and i have no doubt he will nopw be offered a very big contract, if he wasnt going to be already. SSN JUST STATED BID REJECTED LOL

he'd be fecking world class up there

i think i agree, i hope we are going to get a response from MoN or Randy or as i have just said to the general this will be 1 long summer

Evening General, i dont normally comment or ask question on here, but after the MoN leaving saga we have just had, and now this supposed bid from man city i think its in the clubs best interest to start to come out and sqaush these rumours if thats what they, after reading randys last statement i took it that jimmy wanst for sale and if this is the case then a simple message from MoN or randy stating this and that future bids will not be entertained would resolve this or it could be 1 long summer ahead. cheers i hope your back fighting fit as we need our marine corp back down VP next season

SSN said there waiting for the villa response, i guess they have worked out MoN and Randy yet as it will be a long summer of waiting :-) but i do believe that we need to come out and rubbish the rumours so Jimmy can concentrate on his world cup preperations. also just sending a text to SSN lets hope that read it out, ive signed it CoE82.

i have a little more faith in the manager and owner of our club abd think he's going nowhere, we don't need the money, it's been proved since randy has come, that if MoN wants someone he will give him the money. the only thing i think villa need to do is come out early and squash the rumours before they get to far down the road, randy's statement stated he should have done so with the MoN leaving rubbish, now is the time to show. im surprised after the MoN saga no one has asked the general if this is going to start happening.

what you mean we can't afford, according to Bluemoon its a done deal and will be unvielled in the next 2 days i have not had as much as a laugh than reading the Milner transfer thread, i think its only going to get worse as the summer goes on, and no doubt with the england games coming up he will no doubt be doing an interview and the good old english press will grill our Jimmy. i believe randy when he say's Milner is going nowhere, bu i do believe if thats the case Villa as a football club need to squash these rumours ASAP, or we will have the same as the MoN leaving saga for the rest of the summer. worth a read just for the fact that no matter who unfortunate and deluded you think some villa fans are there's always worse out there and you though VT was full of loonies i hope my 1st attempt of a short link has worked

well if a player is under contract them ultamately it is, now that player can try to force a move but if the owner and manager say no then he will go nowhere, just most owners and manager wont keep someone that can be destructive to the team IE GB, i think we can all agree that Milner just doesnt seem that type of player and will possibly only leave when it make sense for him and the club. i think the problem is people think we have no money to spend, and with randy saying sell to buy is good business sense they have come up with the conclusion that we have to sell off our prized assests. i think this summer the deadwood will be gone, and any 1st teamers/sub's that dont want to stay and fight for there place. the likes of Milner, A Young, Gabby, Downing are here for the long haul and as long as we continue to progress and show ambition with stay. this summer is a big one for us and one that MoN needs to get right, on and off the field. im happy to sit tight and see what happens, than get wound up every day 1 of our players are mentioned to be moving.

Ok maybe £20m should be the bottom line, but do you agree that Milner is off? No. Why would he be? They won't offer us enough to make us sell and we'll ask for more money than they will want to pay. i think the point people are missing here is that most transfers are driven by greedy agents always looking to line there pockets, now milner doesnt have one of them and is managed by the PFA (i stand corrected if wrong), milner also seems to be driven by the desire to play football rather than money, which is strange for modern day footballers. the simple facrt is unless MoN and Randy decide they want to sell he will be going nowhere fast, regardless of what over is on the table, we only sold barry due to him having his head turned by his agent. so until Milner comes out and say's he wants to move then Man Shitty and the rest can go and take a long run and jump.

you'll have to pm me your discrption as i get into london victoria the same time from cardiff, thats if you want

green man was awesome for cc final...proper party atmosphere. £3 a pint but they sold cans too for £2 im travelling up on my own from cardiff so anyone that can advise where the villa will be drink would be very appreciated, wheres the green man, greyhound or torch. im getting into london victoria 12:20pm so will get a tube

wot a goal , super ash get in there

the trouble is aswell that if the referee didnt give it he would of had to book him and im sure he's already had 1 booking already

my stream is crystal clear and there was no contact at all, let alone "stood on his toe" its even more of a dive when they play it in slow motion, but we need to do the samew when we get in there box as thois referee's a joke, how you can lead with an elbow and get away with again is crfiminal, its as if the referee didnt see it in midweek when pompey had 2 players carried off.

yeah lets take off our player that is scoring for fun at the moment, tactical genius

i think you'll find there was no contact, they have just showed again, but collins shouldnt have gone for it anyway, hopefully MoN has a word with ash as he can dive with the bes of them, we need to see a few of his 2nd half as persistance pays off with this referee

that was a fecking dive no contact

if you have the sopcast player installed then this is great sop://broker.sopcast.com:3912/6001

If that was a cross I'm a chinaman can i have a 35 a 46 and a 74 please :winkold:

chelsea are leading with there elbows how the referee is letting them get away with it is criminal, we've deserved the goal

finally we look to have a balanced team, shame its taken 31 games to get it, downing had to be dropped, he needs the rest and be nice to get jimmy back on the wing. still think it will be a draw, but wouldnt put it past us to go and win. id rather a win or a lose, but thats due to the bad omens i.e manc's we won, drew and lost the final chavski we won, ? and semi final ? so we need to break that hoodoo

Did you see the Sunderland game? yeah and take craig gordon out of the game and we would have had 3-4 more goals, we played ok against sunderland, but it just wasnt our day. no doubt if we win today you'll be the first on here saying how great we are :evil: i cant criticise the players for there effort, i could criticise MoN as his lack of rotation and stubborness to play certain players is what is costing us, ie heskey up front, cuellar at right back. dunne was carrying a knock on wednesday but insteads of resting him and pushing cuellar into centre half and young at right back he plays him and now we may not have him for the chelsea game.

How about not conceding a sloppy goal? How about putting our chances away? How about going for it in the second half? How about the players looking like they actually want to finish fourth? Gutless.... so i guess the 3 point blank saves by gordon was poor finishing as all 3 were heading into the net, tonight was 1 of them nights, we did everything and deserved the 3 points. tonight just prove petrov is wank, he gives the ball away to much and is miles behind the game, at the end he should of been on delfousno's shoulder. im feed up of hearing about all this tiredness, he's paid 50-60k a week for that i'd play 7 days a week. also if MoN needs anymore prove about heskey, then hopefully deflousno has shown that we have better on the bench then that donkey. also JC played very well again and if not for gordon's excellence would of had another hatrick.

i though we played very well, gordon kept them in it time and again, plus the officials were shocking, it just wasnt to be, the lads gave there all. also petrov has to be dropped why oh why wasnt he with delfousno at the end for an each roll in, the bloke is a liability and just does nothing all game. on another night we would of had 3-4 goals. with city losing were still in it as spuds have the top 3 and cioty to go and will not pick up much points from there.
