Rob182 Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 I don't reckon we'll keep Milner this summer if he doesn't sign a contract extension (and I'd be happy with the decision to sell if he didn't want to sign an extension). I can't see us missing out on an opportunity to cash in this summer if it means that we could lose Milner for half the price next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 I don't think he will go to Man City, more chance of Man Utd IMOI think rednose has to find a replacement for scholes this year, and Jimmy helps to plugging this gap - not the same sort of player as scholes, for instance he can tackle, but part of the way there. Pity their skint then, they wont be buying any £20m player, let alone £30m+ one, imo. Or, they buy Milner next season when he only has one year left on his contract, and Scholes officially retires. Would be good business from their viewpoint.manure will shift a few players this summer, they will easily be able to afford 30m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sir_gary_cahill Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Anderson won't leave, Fergie rates him for some unknown reason, they won't be buying anyone unless Vidic or Rooney leaves imo which is unlikely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damocles Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Considering you guys are taking your lead from the stories coming out of the Mirror, here's another one to consider: Milner Transfer Request Story James Milner will stun Aston Villa on his return from the World Cup by handing in a written transfer request if they attempt to block his £28 million move to Manchester City. Milner has made it clear to England team-mates that he cannot ignore the kind of wages a move to Eastlands would guarantee. Moving to City would even be more lucrative than joining champions Chelsea. Chelsea have refused to go above £20 million to secure the 24-year-old. Villa boss Martin O’Neill shelved plans to open contract talks with Milner prior to the World Cup after City made the first of two opening offers to sign him, and Villa officials still hope they can talk Milner into staying. But City refuse to be put off. They are even prepared to pay £30m to receive official permission to thrash out personal terms with the player. Personally, I believe that you should stop reading the papers for any sort of an insight into the transfer deals of two major businesses but hey, whatever.

theboyangel Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 hmmm no quotes within the NOTW story (no surprise there!!!) I can't see how the press know about this - Capello has tucked the England team away from the press during the WC! IF Milner decides to hand in a transfer request, then more money for us as we won't have to pay him a 'loyalty' fee!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Lions_Roar Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 I'd happily take £30 mil for him, it was only 12 months ago that people were moaning about us paying £12 mil for him. £30 mil would make a huge difference to our squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its their typical anti-Villa stance as ever. The only difference is Numpty Nursey did not write this one. No one is saying Milner is definitely staying and no one is saying he is definitely going. If they have such an inside track how do they square the alleged comment that he "cannot ignore the kind of wages a move to Eastlands would guarantee" with his stated ambition of winning silverware which he said in a recent TV interview? The two may coincide at City but its very far from guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maradona10 Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Story is bollocks, If Milner was about money then why put in a transfer request? He'd lose his entitlement to a part of a fee and if the 30million is to be believed a bit too much for don't you think! Also these Sunday Papers are really scraping the barrel NOTW rehash the story about bloody Zigic, did you see him in the World Cup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Ibrahimovic Kaka Zidane Figo Crespo Villa Buffon Robinho Vieri Shevchenko Nedved Berbatov Puts it into perspective really, he's good but not near the level of those players, I say we take the money and run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
