Davies4England Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 MON was just on SSN seemed pretty resigned to losing Milner, basically said there are times when players move on and so does the club, but the club would be better off having Milner at the start of the upcoming season.

Maradona10 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 If that is true, then it's just a case of waiting for Milner to return from his holiday and this deal is as good as done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much how i see it too. MYSTERYMAN has already said the deal is as good as done, as soon as James is back from holiday the paperwork will be sorted and Villa will get a shit load of money for a steady player!

Genie Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Or Villa will get significantly less than the sums quoted here and all of Villa Talk will implode and demand MON's head on a platter. Man City to pay significantly less than the assumed figure? No way. I have every faith in Villa hold out for a realistic figure (considering who the buyer is). £28m seems about right to me.

Right for Man City, but not right in the scheme of things mate. No way is he a £20m player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwpzxjor1 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 It will probably be 24-25m. Not a bad profit, but regardless of the money received it's time for MON to really surprise us all and show that he can use the transfer market. If we sell Milner and get a press conference the next day where "O'Neill Backs Sidwell To Shine" I might just cry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Wouldn't it be funny if after all this he actually ended up going to United. With a deal already being done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I reckon with 28m for one player, we could actually go out an buy 3 brilliant first teamers. Two 8m players and a 12m striker please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Right for Man City, but not right in the scheme of things mate. No way is he a £20m player. 100%agree, but this is Man City, If they'd shown no interested and Chelsea had tabled £20 I reckon Villa would have snapped their hands off.

Qwpzxjor1 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Right for Man City, but not right in the scheme of things mate. No way is he a £20m player. A players value is purely decided on his worth to the seller. He might not be a 20m player, but 20m only see's us make 8m profit and have to find a player to replace him. In the current market it will cost 20m for us to purely like-for-like swap, and even then we have a player who needs to settle in and the gamble element that it might not work out. 20m would not be worth it for us, and Villa rejecting the bids shows this. 26-27m and we can probably say 'yes, we can replace Milner for that and make adequate profit for 1-2 more players'.

MR.Smalljob Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 And here we are waiting for MON to sign some players but we need to get Milner back from his holiday so he can sign for Man C,so we then can start to sign some players.. lovely hope you enjoy your holiday, we love to wait :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiezels Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Exactly, he may not be worth that much as a player but to us he's worth £35 mill without a doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shillzz Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I can see him going for an underwhelming price, a little like Barry did. By this I mean a price that still sits in the field of reasonableness. Something like £25-£26m, which will incur the odd moan no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qwpzxjor1 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I will moan a little regardless of the price. I don't have much faith in MON to replace Milner. As good a manager as I think he is tactically and motivationally, I don't think he's good enough in the transfer market. I hope to be surprised. its a sad day for football, money corrupts a nice guy like milner. there is no hope for anyone He hasn't even talked to Man City yet. A deal may have been done between the two clubs but Jimmy hasn't talked to Man City yet, he might do what Ozil did and tell them to get stuffed. We can hope.
