villabromsgrove Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Villa have released a statement: James Milner trained with the rest of the Villa squad today at Bodymoor Heath. He and the manager, along with chief executive Paul Faulkner and the player's representative, Matthew Buck, had an amicable conversation and, while James will not play in tomorrow's game at Walsall, he will fly with the squad to Portugal on Wednesday ahead of the Guadiana Cup in which Villa will compete with Benfica and Feyenoord this weekend. http://tinyurl.com/3ab3z6v Matthew Buck is a representative from the PFA, so Milner seems keen to make sure things are done correctly.

Wainy316 Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 This is going to go on for a bit of time then! And I can't seeing us signing anyone until this is sorted one way or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me neither, I'd be amazed if we get anyone in before West Ham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Yawwwwwnnnn. Just get it over and done with, for everyone's sake! This statement hints to me that we're just awaiting a new offer from City. It doesn't confirm he's staying, it doesn't confirm he's going. We'll continue as normal until Man City offer us some money. Anything over £24m and I expect us to accept it and then move the deal through asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PompeyVillan Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I **** HATE transfer sagas. What a waste of time, effort and energy. I wish Milner would just commit either way now. He's not that special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Matthew Buck is a representative from the PFA, so Milner seems keen to make sure things are done correctly. Milner doesn't have an agent, he uses the free service offered by the PFA instead. Buck being there is just the same as another player having his agent there.

Qwpzxjor1 Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 If we sell him with a week of the transfer window to go I will be bloody furious. I know it's a big decision for James, and for Villa - but we need to get this sorted ASAP. The whole point of preseason is to get in shape for the proper season. We cannot achieve that if our preseason is being based around a player who won't be here. Of course, I don't need to tell you all that, you all know that already. But ... arrrgh.

tismyk Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Anyone going down the training ground to cheer on Milner when he arrives back?I would do but Carrington is a bit far away The training ground is not at Carrington It was as at the 12th March, with plans to move elsewhere I thought Milners training ground was at Bodymoor Heath, or have i missed something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milner doesn't have an agent, he uses the free service offered by the PFA instead. Buck being there is just the same as another player having his agent there. It's not quite the same. Milner has always used the PFA to represent him, rather than get involved in the murky world of agents. Matthew Buck is there to make sure that James Milners best interests are being looked after. He is not there for the sake of a huge personal profit! Milner could have met Mon on his own today, but I guess he wanted to make sure that there are no future "misunderstandings."

Yup i hope this is what was meant. Milner will stay unless an offer Villa are comfortable with comes in. However, i doubt he will sign a new contract, which is upto him i suppose. Its now down to Villa to decide to play him until his contract runs out, or cash in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pricey_1984 Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 wish man city would just hurry up and pay the money. i feel like im having a deja-vu from 2 years ago, just waiting for the News of the world article blasting MON now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Clearly if Milner wanted to stay he would have said so today and this would be over. Get the **** out of our club you money grabbing word removed. I hope he plays tomorrow, MON should do what he did to Barry to Milner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
