Killeen30 Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I'm not buying this story for one minute. It just sounds like such a fantastic load of bollocks. MON would not have stated there was an injury and that there was no progress with Milner's situation if there was anything else to it. Agree with this!

Zatman Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I dont think the Milner story of not playing is true but I still want him out of our club as soon as possible. His lack of respect for Villa fans is a disgrace. Not one comment from him. If he wants out all he has to do is say it and people will respect his opinion even if they dont like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wants out all he has to do is say it and people will respect his opinion even if they dont like it Er well id rather him say nothing at all rather than start giving press releases or interviews saying how much he wants to play for Man City etc. Do you not remember Barrys News Of The World interview disaster?

Zatman Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I dont mean go to NOTW like Barry did. I mean a statement on official site or press conference with MON to state his intention. The Milner camp is very quiet on this situation which is strange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwpzxjor1 Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Agreed. Coming out and saying 'I want to play for Man City' is about the worse thing he can do right now. If the move collapses, he's alienated the supporters for next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctid Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Hi guys. Been viewing this thread for a while now. Some of your oppinions on my beloved Man City have varied from genuinely amusing to the hilariously ridiculous. It apears you are in the majority of the agreament that you just want an end to this long and drawn out saga. I'm in 100% agreement there. In terms of the deal itself. There has been a lot of debate here about who holds the cards. I reckon neither side holds all the cards here. He's a Villa player and if you are not prepared to lower your £30M price tag at any cost then City will have to simply accept that. I certainly can't blame you for standing your ground. its fair enough. However City are adament that they will not pay anywhere near that for Milner. I reckon the lad in total realism is probably worth the £15M mark. Add into that the "City Factor" and £20M would probably be fare if a bit silly. However the question for Villa is whever or It is more beneficial to keep a decent young player or get £24M to bring in 2 or 3 decent players? Then there is the Stephan Ireland factor. A player who (just like Milner) is an undeniabley superb talent who has only really had one great season (again just like Milner). I know it's probably not what you guys want to hear but Ireland actualy doesnt really factor into the deal. He will stay at City at least until after Christmas to see how many games he is playing then he will probably sit down with City and discuss his future. I see him being at City for many more years. Mancini wants 2 top class players for every position Given/Hart.....Richards/Boateng...Tevez/Balotelli.....Milner/Ireland.... Silva/Johnson.... Yaya/Barry etc etc Personaly i'd like us to move on and go for someone else. Everyones happy then right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reality Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Well it cant do any worse as by looks of it fans have turned on him already and might get his transfer done quicker Not really. He was here throughout the entire Barry saga and knows to keep quiet about demanding a move. He obviously wants a move though. And he's still a greedy word removed.

I reckon the lad in total realism is probably worth the £15M mark. Add into that the "City Factor" and £20M would probably be fare if a bit silly. A player who was bought for 12 million and has since become an regular England international. An international who Capello himself said England would likely build around. Add to that he won the young player of the year last year and you reckon his value has gone up 3 million? C'mon now who is being silly? I agree he isn't worth 30 million but I certainly feel in the present market his value is at aroun 22-24 million for anyone but Man City. I have got anything against City ;they have got lucky so all the best to them. But to think one of the most marketable young English players has risen just 3 million in two years with his success is more than joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NowDoINotLikeThat Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Does seem ironic tho that just like Barry , O'Neill he moves Milner in middle for a while then all sudden other clubs take interest. Maybe Ashley Young should just stick to the flanks this season..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We paid £12m for an average winger from Newcastle who is now identified as one of Englands best potential future stars, who will replace Lampard or Gerrard.

Well if Ireland is not in the Man City 25-man squad in Spetember he is unlikely to get added to it in January. There is no way Stephen Ireland would be happy playing just the odd cup game and a few Europa league matches. If he misses the 25 he'll be out this window.

NowDoINotLikeThat Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Irelands comments about staying to Jan window was couple weeks back when only Sunderland shown any official interest. Anyhow just like Dunne i'll doubt hell get much say over when and how leaves .And Mancini dont rate him that much otheriwse whys he adding another odds and sods collection to midfield. Either way be very suprised if Ireland is still a Man City player come transfer window closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
