You shorten it the same way you would on a computer. POSTED FROM MY IPAD Whatever.

http://www.sport.co.uk/news/Football/41971/EXCLUSIVE_German_coach_emerges_as_shock_Villa_target.aspx? Ralf Rangnick is on the list of replacements apparently (Sorry don't know how to shorten link on an iPad)

Please make the right choice General it'll be very hard to get someone the caliber of O'Neill but i hope it works out!, and glad to hear Friedel and Ash are not for sale.

Doubt it'll be Sven, we couldn't afford his wages, hence why he was at City.

The same Sporting that lost 12-1 to Bayern Munich?

FFS look who we lost to today. Bohemians are a good team, why are they meant to be shit because its the League of Ireland?

Teehee, even though they were without 'their big guns' Man City lost 2-0 to Sporting CP today in the New York Challenge.

Ugh the Daily Mail (or Heil) have changed the article - I don't know what to make of it anymore, its a complete mindf**k, I think this has been dragging the whole team down too. Milner thinks O'Neill tried to force him out of of the club, if he's angry, did he even plan on going? Urgent talks soon apparently.

I think this is a classic case of agent buggery. Not defending Milner here.

WAHHH WAHH WE;RE GONNA DIE WE'RE GOING TO GET RELEGATED RANDY LERNER WILL LEAVE US WITH NO MONEY WHAT SO EVER. Jeez what an overreaction.

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/3047228/Manchester-Citys-20million-raid-for-Didier-Drogba.html Yup they want Drogba, and if ruddy Yaya Toure is on 220K a week.

I like the new training top - nothing wrong with it.

As in streams?

Became a new fan of Futebol in Portugal just recently, just stuck for a team to follow, I need coverage - *hint hint streams hint hint* I'm leaning towards Sporting CP but I may get accused of glory hogging. Vitória Sport Clube is another one I like, and Braga.

O'Neill hasn't mentioned him, all he's done is place a price tag on him.

The Sun and The Guardian are now reporting the 30 million + player Outstanding deal and business, see if we can sneak a few players in that too Bargain - Thanks for the services James.

I'd take Robbie Keane over Heskey Plus we've been linked to Miguel and now Stephen Ireland (depends on the Milner situation probably)

If Stoke want Heskey, we're good..

Remember people thought Richard Dunne was a crap signing.. I think MON might develop SWP a bit, then we could sell him off, but the other three I'd take.

All 4 and 35 million.

Illegal.

lets see if we can knock it up to £35million - and maybe 1 or 2 players, we could do with some of them.

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/2981405/Chelsea-join-fight-for-Milner.html Well if we do lose him we're going to have be d*ckhead and make sure we get equal benefits too, he is one of our key men. -EDIT- actually just realised, could go in the speculation thread so my bad..

I think we should have a plan B it isnt going to be up to anyone else but James if he stays with us, fantastic, but incase he does decide to leave, we should push this deal even further so it benefits Aston Villa, 30 million plus a couple of their players would do it for me.

I'm not sure I agree with that. If the money is right for a club at our point in it's development (and at £20m it's not), then I think we'll take the decision to sell. I don't think this is about whether Milner will push for a move, I don't think he will, I think he'll be pushed. This isn't a failure on behalf of our club to secure a player or a betrayal of a club by a player like the Barry deal was, this to me seems like a deliberate tactical move by the people in charge of our football club. I think we'll sell Milner, I think we'll get very good money for him and I think we'll use it to continue to develop. I think the last couple of weeks have been leading up to that. By delaying talks on his contract we've put him in the shop window, by mentioning our sell-to-buy thoughts we've invited predators to have a sniff. I think this £20m offer is a tempter to see if we're skint and I don't think we are. Or with Wayne Rooney, the player they sold to pay for him? Or Tottenham with Berbatov? Or United with Ronaldo? I hope he doesn't go, but if he does, I don't necessarily think we should be up in arms. Villa have rejected the bid
