Sorry VILLALWAYS I have the wrong end of the stick here. I was just back in at the time and my mind and concentration must have been all over the place.
I must have read only what you posted without reading properly what you quoted from east19 (I thought you were on about losing him without a fight later on after standing firm). I agree with you. They should pay what we want. We don't as Mazrim put it the other day want them to wipe their dick on our curtains. £30million or £20million plus Ireland for me. |

Well a week after MON telling the world's press he wanted to leave and he's still here. So much for the "MON calls Citeh's bluff for a quick sale" theory. I pray to god we're not waiting for him to go before buying 'cos we could have a long wait :0( |

Don't let the facts get in the way of your miserabism, will you. This was his full quote, which hasn't been contradicted by subsequent events:
| Martin O'Neill wrote: |
“James and his agent came to see us before the World Cup and intimated that they would like to go. If that is the case, then Manchester City made the offer, which we told them about.
“There is a difference of valuation at this moment between the buying club and the selling club. That may well be resolved and if that is the case then absolutely fine. I think James’ agent has told our chief executive that he wouldn’t be signing a new contract. Obviously that puts a different slant on things. If a fee is agreed, at the end of the day, the player can leave.” |

bottom line is it hasn't flushed Citeh out like some claimed it would. All it did was piss Milner off. If anything IMO its made it less likely Citeh will move early as they know he wants to leave and they're in no rush as they have about 10 midfielders already |

Greg, he's told Man City nothing. They already knew he wants to leave, as did the rest of us. It's just clarified the situation to everyone - if Man City cough up £30m, they'll get him, if they don't, they won't. It's that simple. There's no conspiracy, no little plots to try and force City's hand, there's just a player and his price. |

hey, you don't need to convince me there's no plan. It was just a stupid theory put forward last week by a few on here trying to look for a logical reason for telling the press that the player wants out |

Can I just say that Milner is not going any where. On return from Portugal he will sign an extention to his contract.

Don't understand Citys part in all this, they clearly have good players they can offer as an incentive, say Ireland and twenty mil but it seems they are reluctant. |

Aftab, this obsessive optimism thing you've got going on with the Milner situation - I love it. |

the simple fact is that MON needs the money more than Mancini needs Milner |

I can't wait to see some of the frantic backtracking that is going to go on here if he does do that. |

Villa and City to compromise on £28m for Milner
Published 23:00 29/07/10 By James Nursey
James Milner’s departure from Aston Villa to Man City seems inevitable once the two clubs can agree a fee.
City have already had a staggering £24.6 million bid for Milner turned down by Villa.
Insiders claim that the move will go through at £28 million, but both clubs are digging in over their valuations - and possible swaps have been dismissed so far.
Stephen Ireland - told he is out of the City plans by Roberto Mancini - and far-travelled Craig Bellamy are two of the players that Villa can take.
But so far the only offer is cash and that is not enough as Villa chief O’Neill wants more to land the players he wants to bring in.
Villa know they would need around £11 million to get Aiden McGeady out of his old club Celtic, an inflated fee because of previous interest in the Republic of Ireland trickster from Russian side Spartak Moscow.

£28million is a good price for us.
Like how he describes McGeady as a trickster. It suggest we are going to get conned. I wonder if Robert Vaughn will play his agent? |
