Denis_B Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Agree to disagree mate. The less he says straight about money the better. I do not believe for one single second that he doesn't know EXACTLY what the financial position is. He needs to off load players from the wage bill because the squad will be too big (25 limit). It is sell to buy if you can only register 25 players why have a squad of 30? No necessarily sell to buy because we are skint - I don't buy that at all.

jstuart Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 The quicker we sell Milner and start using the money for new players the better and if we can get Ireland in the deal i think we are way better off and use of the rest of the money to bring in keane and still be 10 million better off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulMcGrath_5 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 £30million.. That just sounds so much better than having James Milner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 If anyone wants a laugh, listen to this being debated on Talksport by two people who clearly know nothing about Villa. Shockingly it would also appear that quite a few of our fellow fans don't either judging by some of the glaring historical errors that have been made.

TrentVilla Posted July 22, 2010 Moderator Share Posted July 22, 2010 The less he says straight about money the better. I do not believe for one single second that he doesn't know EXACTLY what the financial position is. Then why say anything at all? He is very good at avoiding questions, he opted to answer that one. He needs to off load players from the wage bill because the squad will be too big (25 limit). It is sell to buy if you can only register 25 players why have a squad of 30? No necessarily sell to buy because we are skint - I don't buy that at all. I still don't get how he can gain any kind of advantage over City or West Ham or anyone else from his comments today. If I was Man City there is no way I would be upping my bid now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanky Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I think Ireland could well be part of the deal (or at least Citeh would like him to be). I'm surprised he hasn't gone anywhere just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is nothing new from Mon. He as always been very vauge when it comes to issues surrounding what money we have to spend and more often than not talks in riddles. He knows that with most likely having 20mill+ in the bank from the sale of Milner there is great potential for other clubs to try to charge us inflated fees. If by being cute he can stop that happening then good on him. This will all play out in the wash anyway and come August 31st we'll all know what the situation really is/was. I'm optimistic things will work out fine. Nothing over the last 4 years can lead me to believe otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beasley14 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Well it was coming. To be honestive wanted us to sell him for a while now as i think we will be better off with 3 £10m players than 1 James Milner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted July 22, 2010 Moderator Share Posted July 22, 2010 [ He knows that with most likely having 20mill in the bank from the sale of Milner there is great potential for other clubs to try to charge us inflated fees. If by being cute he can stop that happening then good on him. If we sell Milner for £20m everyone will know we have £20m. His comments today aren't going to change that or some how confuse people into thinking we have less. So I repeat, what is the benefit of his comments today? How are they going to be beneficial in dealing with Man City or Sullivan which was the other example raised. I fail to see it I really do. I can though imagine there is little chance of City increasing their offer, they have us over a barrel. We have told the world he wants to go and we need to sell to buy. That is a terrible position to be in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanky Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 If I was Man City there is no way I would be upping my bid now. Maybe. This is the same team who bought Lescott for £24 million though. All we seem to have done is told Milner he can leave at the right price so are allowing him a move when he has 2 years(?) left on hios contract. The flip side of that is that we have no other money to buy other players whihc is looking even more liekly after the comments today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everton didn't come out and say they needed to sell Lescott to buy though did they, huge difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denis_B Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Trent said If I was Man City there is no way I would be upping my bid now. So we only sell on our terms? No money no player. Who knows what Milner has actually said. 'I want to go to Man Citee if the clubs can agree it' or 'I want to go to Man Cittee or I will hold my breath until I go blue in the face' Not the right deal for Villa = No sale - Barry?

Dodgyknees Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I am honestly not bothered about losing him, the money will be great and we have Delph to come back. Yorke = Merson, Dublin and Watson (?) Milner = some top additions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstuart Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 It just goes to show there is no loyality in football no more its all about earning the big bucks so lets cash in on a player who worth around 15 million and put the 25 million to good use .

Only O'Neill has told the world he wants to go. Barry did that for us last time but there was no need to do so with Milner. Your original point was O'Neill was playing some sort of game with his comments with Sullivan and City. As I've said I don't see what game he is playing or to what ends and despite asking twice already nobody seems able to tell me. As for the point above, so say not acceptable offer is made. We are left with a player with 2 years left on his contract who everyone knows doesn't want to be here leading to endless speculation and an ever dropping price. I will say it again I don't see the game O'Neill is supposed to be playing. He should have said if City or anyone else wants him they have to meet our price. Period.

That is a terrible position to be in. I'd say its far better that other clubs think we only have the James Milner money rather than believing we have the Milner money on top of a nice little transfer kitty we already had set aside. City don't increase the original offer they don't get James Milner. There is not a cat in hells chance Martin O'Neill and Randy Lerner will be **** over a barrell by these ****. I'd have hoped you'd have had more respect for Mr Lerner and Mon given everything that has happened over the last 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
