MMFy Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I fail to see how people can believe Milner has already gone. Nothing will change till after the World Cup. This. Capello has banned all players from contract/transfer talks until after the World Cup. Apparently... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivaashleyyoung Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I actually am not that fussed about losing Milner. Yes, id like him to stay, but with a GOOD bit of management we can easily work this to our own advantage. There are players out there we could sign that would make us a whole lot better as a team. He is definately going by the way so we may aswell just accept that. I was thiinking about this possible team at work today: --------------------Agbonlahor-------------------------- --------------------------R. Keane---------------------- young-----------Ireland-------Carrick------------Bentley Warnock--------Dunne--------Collins----------M. Richards --------------------------Friedel--------------------------- Ok. So this isnt going to happen obviously, but a team similar to that certainly wouldnt be out of the question if we managed the Milner situation well.

MMFy Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I´m undecided. If Jimmy stays fine, we´ll have a great player on our hands. If Jimmy leaves fine, then we´ll have 25-30 million for buying 2-3 potential great players. Win win situation for me. Wrong. If we could buy players of Milner's calibre for £10m-ish, everyone else would know about them. The players of the required calibre (Milner) are not available at the prices you mention.

TheSufferingVilla Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 It was nice knowing you James. Anyone that thinks he is staying now is completely deluded. Football sucks. Stop talking out of your arse. You have seen three or four sentences attached to an article designed to sell newspapers/gain viewers/readers. Nothing is settled yet. If Milner had said he was going to stay here then changed his mind, everyone would be calling him a Judas. Milner has not said he is staying, which he does not have to. He is contracted to the club for another 21 months. And if he goes, it may very well not be to Citeh. So, don't call me deluded, and stop lapping up; everything the media broadcast/publish/print. :!: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Wrong. If we could buy players of Milner's calibre for £10m-ish, everyone else would know about them. . Not quite, we buy players with the potential to be that good. Just like we bought Milner who had the potential to be as good as he is now. Everyone knew about Milner, yet we still got him. If we go out and buy 2-3 players who will be better than Milner 3 years down the line then we've done well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunRickyRun Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Is there a reliable source which states there are only 2 years left on his contract? I'd be surprised if we don't have the option to extend the contract for an extra year as it's a pretty standard clause in player contracts these days (especially as we have an American owner). From memory, I think we had the clause in both Bouma's and Laursen's contracts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 It was nice knowing you James. Anyone that thinks he is staying now is completely deluded. Football sucks. come on then razor where's the proof or because you said so he's gone, its not deluded to have faith in the management of aston villa, i dont think they want to sell and i dont think he wants to go, maybe you should remove your head from your self important ARSE and wait and see. but then again i am deluded, and also i thinkits great what shearer has come out and said and think if Jimmy is thinking about it, Alan Shearer is a big idol of his and would listen to his advise, not that he needs it. How about you save your big speech until the day he signs a new contract. Which he won't. I bet you thought we would get top 4 after losing 7-1 to Chelsea too and thought we could catch Arsenal up the season before. Deluded is the only word to use. Milner is leaving, get with it.

AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Just wondering Razor if you was one of the people who said Barry is a certainty to sign for Liverpool after the 07-08 season? You was right, he did go to Liverpool.....oh wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stockport_Villain Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 My concern over this is that if Jimmy moves then what kind of sign does that send to the rest of the team. If Jimmy goes i'll lay odd's on Ashley going down south as well. Not the best start to proper transfer speculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 We won't do well if we just keep selling them on,well never move forword People said the same last season, we won't replace Barry etc. And I was one of them. And Milner stepped up and replaced him, and we finished with more points on the table and had better runs in the league. Now, if MON was competent enough to do that I have faith in him to replace Milner. Anyone who suggests otherwise is clutching at straws imo. Just learn the lessons from last season.

theboyangel Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 How many pages will this topic reach???? (bearing in mind nothing will happen until post WC - July 11th!!!!) I'm in the camp of Jimmy signs a further contract extension and will see what happens the following season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
