TheSufferingVilla Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 There's another question to be asked. Do Man City still want Milner? We know he said "he'd like to go" before the World Cup. We know Man City put a bid in for him before the World Cup. But does the sheik still have the same interest in Milner after him and England's disappointing showing? Remember we are dealing with a club owner who's obsessed with showing off (the purchase of Robihno, the purchase of Tevez, the purchase of Adebayor). Maybe Milner no longer is a hot enough property to parade in front of the lads down by the Bazillionare Hookah bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyClarke Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Is this not a simple case of Villa directing the blame towards the player before he is sold for somewhere around the £25million mark (e.g less than we were supposedly holding out for) so that they can hold up their hands and say "what could we do" in the face of any backlash? Expect this to be done in the next few days to be honest, clearly been ongoing for some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyM3000 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 So now I must boo Barry and Milner, might as well just Boo the whole Man City team throughout the season, sounds like a good plan. Milner = word removed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denis_B Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 So from that interview he says 'a players wages should reflect his value'....... hmmm Gaz Baz went for £12m and gets £140k a week, clearly thats what he is after and knows we won't pay it... but if they baulk at the fee will they pay him what he thinks he is worth?

Milner = word removed does that go for every player we've signed from clubs below us with less money than us, who we brought in on increased wages too? surely it must? doesnt that make all footballers who want to move up bad eggs in your books too? how many of our squad does that mean you should boo based on your logic? quite a few isnt it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wont be alone in this either, Barry got booed and so will Milner. I hope they both go for a 50 50 in training and break each others legs. I can accept it if a big club like Utd or Chelsea come knocking, but not Man City at the moment, its an insult. So yeah, Milner is a rocket polisher.

moose Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Citeh's tactics are similar to what happened at Chelski when they fell into a bottomless pit of cash. They signed up lots of star players from other teams, who then spent years languishing in the reserves before cheap offloading deals elsewhere. Citeh will have the same thing IMO, they'll end up with a lot of dis-illusioned bit-part players, and the pressure on them is absolutely immense to win something....anything.....oh and anything but they top 4 is surely going to see a fire-sale next summer followed by the inevitable new manager's clear out. Maybe we should just concentrate less on Milner and more on what we've got left and who we can get in. Is there any point booing Milner? No. If he thinks he has a better chance of success at Citeh then only time will tell. Maybe in a couple of years' time we'll all be posting "I can't believe we got £25m for a player who went on to make only 40 first team appearances and won nothing before being transfer listed".

There's no reasonable footballing explanation for him to say he wanted to leave after a great personal season, it's pure and simply about excessive wealth, he isn't any different to his contemporaries.

villa4europe Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 imo, quite simply, mon needs to shut the **** up and worry about doing his job properly said it before, and ill say it again so he should shut up and let city drag this out all summer taking the piss and signing him with only a couple of days left?

MONs interview was fully justified and makes perfect sense telling the world milner said he wants to leave makes sense? great bargaining point that alright certain things need to be done behind closed doors, and this is one of them there was no need to mention milners desire to leave until the deal was done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
