MYSTERYMAN Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Horses for course. He's stronger than Johnson for those games when we need it on the wing. Chelsea at home springs to mind. Perhaps Milner is a direct replacement for SWP? This is all a bit academic at the moment anyway, as Milner isn't yet a City player, and even we aren't stupid enough to sell before we buy. Spoke with yours yesterday seems Lescott is going to be your left back and some Benfica centre back is lined up . Yeah, David Luiz. I'd be shocked if Lescott played left back for us first choice, simply because he's shit there. Mind you, if Bridge goes down, we do have Luiz, Lescott and Barry who can all play there, as well as Jerome Boateng, so it isn't a major concern. Anything about Milner from the Villa end yet? Our end seems to think it's a done deal with the club, and the lad will sign for 5 years? Nothing from the Villa end but both City circles are convinced it's a done deal . If it is this 28 mill figure then I would snatch your hands off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MYSTERYMAN Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 any idea when it will be announced MM? Honestly don't know I know he is away at the moment and it's certainly not been confirmed by Villa but Manchester are pretty adamant its a done deal .

steve-67 Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 A £16m profit in two years is a great deal for any club. I just hope MON goes out and spends it properly. I'd love to see a couple of real "wow" signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve-67 Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 I think Villa have bought well over the last couple of years but the players haven't been "wow" at the time, they have gone on to become wow though, certainly in the case of Ashley Young and James Milner and , arguably Richard Dunne. I'd just like MON to and get the extra creativity we're missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowandlow Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 since when do you get a "wow" player for £12m? eerrrr Jimmy Milner 2 years ago? turned into a good player, but was never a "wow" player when we signed him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadlyDirk Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 MM - any truth in the light rumours that Barry has been sounding out a return to Villa?

fran_villa Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 i get the feeling that,if we dont sell Milner we wont have any cash to spend this summer.i wonder will we have more than the 28m we get from his sale?.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see a couple of real "wow" signings. Who gives a toss if they are "wow" signings or not. I've got no problem is it's another Milner, Young and Dunne that come in. Not "wow" signings, just good signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daft Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Nothing from the Villa end but both City circles are convinced it's a done deal . If it is this 28 mill figure then I would snatch your hands off Ah, **** it. 28 mil isn't nearly enough. I really do despair at the fact that even though we've finished 6th three seasons in a row, proving to be one of the more consistent teams outside the usual top 4, finally have a wee bit of cash to spend, and yet we keep losing our best players. I'm edging ever closer to just throwing in the towel when it comes to football. Sad, really sad. I like Milner a whole lot better than Barry, as a player as well as a person. And that comes from someone that really appreciated Barry when he played for us. It really doesn't matter who we get to replace him. Even if we manage to finish 2nd or 3rd we'd struggle to keep any good players since we can't offer anywhere near the wages City can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
