Hereford-Villan Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I'd seriously condiser sendinf my season card back if we sell. I'm sure that Randy will keep his word though and not sell our best player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olof'sAcorn Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I wouldn't sell unless it was silly money. Milner has been great this season and will only get better due to his work ethic. He doesn't seem the type of player/person to make waves and I would hope he wants to stay. After being treated like shit at Newcastle and moving from club to club, surely he would like some stability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 He's not going anywhere. Don't let it spoil your fun though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I'm sure Milner, MON and Randy knew this was coming. Randy has said that Milner is wanted at Villa so I'm fully expecting the response to Man City to be "James Milner is not for sale". It'd be good if we could jump into the transfer market this week and sign a quality striker to ensure that Jimmy knows that we're ambitious.

OxfordVillain8 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 City have won nothing... Good players do not make a team. What does make a team, bad players? :bonk: Obviously not, but as as most people realise if players dont gel, then you're screwed. City should have been playing Champions League next season, but they lost stupid points and Hughes couldn't get them playing AS A TEAM!!! HENCE: GOOD PLAYERS DO NOT MAKE A GOOD TEAM...! Work ethic and a solid unit plus good players make a team. As a Villa fan I thought you would see where I was coming from. :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 If, if we were to sell, it'll be after the world cup when his stock is higher. Citeh know this and are trying to get a deal done before then. Bet Capello isn't happy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_villa Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Really hope it doesnt happen, but I cant see him leaving for citeh. They are equal with us, yes they have more money and can potentially get the better players to improve themselves more, but they are still not guaranteed any kind of silverware. Perhaps if Utd or Chelsea came after him then I think he would think more into it. I also dont think he is a money grabbing git like Barry! Also i think it would take silly money for oneil and lerner to sell him, like somebody else said, we sell for £30mill, players of a lesser calibre than jimmy will be priced higher than what they currently are. It would'nt be a good move by us to sell, just cant see it happening! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted May 19, 2010 Moderator Share Posted May 19, 2010 For once I don't think it'll upset the player. he either wants to go or he doesn't. He's wired differently to most and seems to have his head screwed on. But £20mil is taking the piss, hugely, and MON really doesn't like that. Hopefully it costs Gary Cock his job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.I.C.O. Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I think its 100% certain he'll be off this summer, the speculation and bids have started already and we aren't even in June! Not good signs. I think we should get used to life after Milner, folks! :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johneeboy Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I don't think we would sell him unless he wants to go, which I don't think he does. City would be a bad move for him in my honest opinion. Does anyone think they are targeting Milner not just because he is a good player but because he is our player? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykeyb Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I would be surprised if Milner forces the issue on this. He has just forced his way into the England squad and after the world cup may find himself a lot closer to the starting eleven than he is now. The worst ting that could happen to him is some serious squad rotation. Another good season at Villa will do him no harm at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hereford-Villan Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 £150,000 a week would help ease his splinters on the bench though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.I.C.O. Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Does anyone think they are targeting Milner not just because he is a good player but because he is our player? Of course. Its classic divide and rule tactics, weaken your opponents. Its what Chelsea did for many years. Man City are following their model for success but from a lower base and a much shorter timeframe. Its inevitable that Milner will end up there. :cry: It would be a stupid move for his career, but money talks in this game more than anything else.

Rob182 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 £150,000 a week would help ease his splinters on the bench though James Milner doesn't need money. He built the town that he lives in so he gets all his food, drinks and clothes for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danceoftheshamen Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Mon clearly stated he would be sitting down with Milner AFTER the World cup to discuss a new contract or whatever. The thing is i guess, now that it has become clear that Man City simply could not respect that or the fact that the guy needs to focus on the World cup, & could not resist flashing their massive wad of cash about "& stuff everybody else", does Martin HAVE to now speak with Milner earlier than planned? Or does he resolve it one way or the other before the World cup starts? Also of course RL stated Milner was "wanted here" & that he was "not worried about him leaving" although that does not really say he is staying does it? Interesting to see what happens i guess?

NurembergVillan Posted May 19, 2010 Moderator Share Posted May 19, 2010 They might have more money than anybody else in the whole world but for now there's no escaping this - I used to hate Man Ure, now I like them on the grounds that them winning stuff annoys Citeh!

R.I.C.O. Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I can see them coming in with a £ 25 million cash deal next with a player thrown into the bargain, probably Ireland. And I think it will be accepted. He's gone folks! :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hereford-Villan Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I would love the club to just come out and say that he's not for sale! Randy has said it but i think it needs another statement from the club. MON saying a few words would be nice too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nnock1984 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 20m + Ireland would be more like it, and a deal i'd consider to be honest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
