You say that but I bet man city win alot more than arsenal over the coming years!! I bet they don't. Put your money where your mouth is then?? 20p Make it one English pound!!

really? I don't think so. You don't think he's half out the door as it is? Of course I don't want us to be raped money-wise, but I'd take the fairest offer they can give us in a shot now. Especially since he's put in a transfer request. There's hardly any time for us to spend any money as it is. Isn't the fairest offer they can give us just whatever they offer? No we shouldn't accept that (currently £5 million). We should tell them and Given to fuck right off, we've agreed to his transfer request but that doesn't mean we have to accept whatever Man City throw our way.

Apart from the £50,000 a week and being treat like a fucking king you mean. I can't blame him for eventually wanting to leave, but I definitely blame him for the way he's gone about it. Which could end up costing this club a great deal of money.

Yesterday Kinnear claimed we'd offered £2.5 and they raised the price to £3 million. Now he says we offered £3 million originally and they doubled the asking price, fucking jackanory..

Doesn't this put us in an even weaker position? It says to City that while we won't accept there offer at the moment the deal will have to happen eventually.. Instead we should be telling City and Given that he won't be leaving unless we get the fee we're after, that they have 24 hours to make the right offer or he's staying until the summer.

Only one paper has claimed they value him at £18 million, every other source says £12 million.

Look at the accounts. We didn't make a £12m profit in summer did we. The Milner money isn't included in those accounts. See note 26. Note 26 of the accounts? I don't have them, but they were up to June or July weren't they? Milner moved in late August, what does this note say then?

Why is that strange? Just about any transfer fee these days is paid in installments.

Not if we put him in the reserves permanently

Those 3 said a bid had been made, and they were considering it hadn't been accepted. No I'm pretty sure one of them said it had been accepted, not saying I believe them like.. Either way where has this story of a £5 million bid come from?

Had Given just handed in a transfer request straight away but accepted that any deal would be dependant on us receiving a good fee for him I'd have no problem. Obviously instead he's been making noises behind the scene's to Man City that have put us in a totally shit position. They know he wants to leave now no matter what and so are trying to rip our eye's out. I'm not saying I hate him or anything, he's done a lot for the club, but this whole thing is just pissing me off now. I was happy enough that he was allowed to leave as long as we got a good fee, now it looks increasingly like we'll end up having to accept peanuts for him.

Yeah I mean whats 11 years like Yeah I mean what's doing his best to put us in a shit position so Man City can rob us blind eh?

Would be decent but we are also loosing a good left winger and not replacing him and a goalkeeper. s*** are we selling Jonas? Oh no you mean Insomnia?.. Also Given doesn't need replacing IMO. Like him or not, Zog is better than Duff and if he leaves ideally we'd need to replace him. He's been useless for a long time, neither Duff or N'Zogbia should be playing left wing anyway, Jonas should. Hopefully if we get Taylor he can do a good job on the right side.

Since when have we offered £5 million? Seriously I must have missed some updates on this. Last I heard was when the Italian press started talking about the bid and said a £3.8 million offer had been accepted. What's been said since and from what sources?

As for Given, the bloke can fuck off, I'm really not bothered in the slightest. But if we accept £5 million I'll fucking lose my rag, I don't give a shit if he's put in a transfer request, unless it was written on a cheque for £5 million from himself then we should tell him "No problem, you can go when we get an acceptable offer".

Actually we offered £2.5 million because that was the price we were quoted, they now want £3 million. What will they want next if we just give in?

Rings a bell - see Joey Barton. Hope he will be a great signing but past experience tell me that playing for Newcastle usually means you become shit! How has Barton became shit? He's still a good player, he just never plays because he's either injured or in jail. He's been a fucking disaster. Hardly pulled up trees when on the pitch as well, although to be fair to the psychopath he's probably never been 100% fit. Bingo, he's been a disaster due to him being a fucking idiot off the pitch and his injuries on it, but he hasn't suddenly turned into a poor Footballer. When he's had a run of games he's started to look like the player he was at City, unfortunately its always been cut short, amazingly short this time around.

I prefer Butt. Say what you want about him but he's definately a fighter who gives his all. People say the same about nolan but i really don't agree. He has a decent shot on him but other then that, he offers nothing else. He's also extremley slow and about a half a stone overweight. He's the sort of player that rarely gets involved in play but might come up with a decent shot on goal now and again, then go back to doing nothing. Amazing how someone outside of the club can sometimes see a player as absolutely nothing near the reality. When you were describing Nolan there I actually thought you were describing Butt for a minute.. minus having a good shot that is. He does nothing at all, he's slow and the only time he does really get involved he either gives the ball away trying some Hollywood pass he can't achieve or gives away a penalty trying to make a tackle he used to be able to make.. He has the odd extremely rare game where he rolls back the years and does well, but the rest of the time he costs us dearly.

Yeah because they're f***ing fantastic aren't they? When they perform they are a canny side, we have not looked a canny side for a long time. We have so many injuries and players who want away, Given, Owen and Zoggy don't want to be here and thas just the ones we know of, all three will more than likley play tightnight, its not about how good or bad City are its more about how utterly shite we are. I definitely agree there, we'll most likely lose due to how shit we are away from home, but definitely getting slaughtered, can't agree at all. If they get the luck it might happen, but its not a forgone conclusion.

Yeah because they're fucking fantastic aren't they? Man Utd have an incredible amount of talent, Man City have a few very good players, nothing more. The biggest problem is how shit we've been away from home rather then how good they are. So yeah a draw would certainly be a good result.
