villadude Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Any team bar Man Shitty can have him for 30 mill or more, I'd be happy with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiggyrichard Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I think He is being massively overated. We should look to milk Man City. THIS THIS THIS Milner isnt that good, Ireland on form is as good as Milner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted June 1, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted June 1, 2010 Milner is a massive player. He will be for club and country. We'd be silly to not try and keep hold of him. If he wants to go it's a different matter, but there's no reason why we shouldn't offer him a pay rise and a 2year extension on his current contract, and build the squad around him.

lexicon Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Did the people who say Milner is overrated actually watch any football this year? He's a fantastic player and the best we have at the club. We'd have a massive gap to fill without him but I've every faith that MON is able to do so - he managed to replace Laursen and Barry without really breaking a sweat, so we'll be ok but I don't want him to go.

PieFacE Posted June 1, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted June 1, 2010 Did the people who say Milner is overrated actually watch any football this year? I wonder this myself, how people can't see how brilliant Milner is is beyond me. I'd like to see a stat on the people who think he's over rated, and who out of those actually have a season ticket and watch him. Then again loads of people love NRC and hate Petrov which again is totally beyond me. Milner is a must keep, potential future England captain. We MUST try and keep hold of him, best player we have by a country mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like how people think he should start ahead of Gerrard or Lampard for England...Try looking at him without the claret & blue tinted glasses.

fran_villa Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 it just said there on ssn,that mancini will not be held to ransom for players.and that the players he has will improve next season,oh and Adebayor will be staying.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted June 1, 2010 Moderator Share Posted June 1, 2010 Mancini might not want to be held to ransom for players, but if he doesn't get them he'll be removed and replaced with someone who will. For the owners, the difference between £20m and £30m is absolutely no difference at all, they make that in an hour - for the manager (and the Chief Exec) it could be the difference between having a job at City and not. Call his bluff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't mean they don't think he will be a miss if he leaves or is not a good player. I think he is a very good player and would be a massive miss but I still think the media are overhyping him. Since when has he ever played left back as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I think he played left back for England for about 30 minutes of one game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob182 Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 So... what's the crack with Jimmy now? I thought we were having contract talks today? Is it a case of.. A) he signs a contract extension Today and it's on avfc.co.uk in the next few hours .... or... we don't hear anything.. he's basically denied an extension and we're to expect an improved offer from Man City?

Adam2003 Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Don't think it hurts us at all in this situation that we have pretty much as many players in the England squad as those who might be tapping him up. I hope he only talks to Warnock and Heskey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeps Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 soooooooooo this is weird no news for about a week or so now?? thought we would of had more light on the situation by now tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve-67 Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I think we're in danger of talking Jimmy Milner up into being some kind of world super star. He works really hard and is a very good player but Man City have at least two players many of us would want and should/could in a player swap to take us further forward. Ireland, Hart, Bellamy, Richards, Onouha, take your pick and add 20mill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
