It sounds like a cop-out, but it is a tremendous financial commitment. It's more than Villa will fork out for Milner. I wonder if Ashley gave Keegan a choice - Keep one, lose the other. Is it a coincidence that the deal has been offered after Milner has departed? Conjecture though isn't it. Pure guesswork, probably untrue. Wasn't presenting it as fact. I know mate but often these theories can catch on with other people and they presume it's a fact.

Because he is not good enough/he didn't deserve it/we weren't offered twice his value. My point is that the two situations are entirely different.

In all seriousness, i don't think he will get a better salary anwhere else.

Completely agree. Surely none of our fans could expect us to offer him anything more? I think many of us would expect us to offer him less or find a replacement. I am in that camp anyway, and wouldn´t be to pleased if we are losing out on and having to sell other players because we are not offering them the wages that they want, only to then go and offer one of our most injury prone players a much improved deal that would have him amongst the Premiership absolute top earners. So you would offer him less and risk letting him go? I understand your points, just want to see what you would do.

which of course, shows your theory to be bollocks What did you think of our performance against Man Utd? What do you think of our signings so far (the cheap and expensive ones)? Do you think KK is lying through his teeth when he says that the decision to sell Milner was his? Do you believe Ashley when he says that KK's got full control of who goes/stays in the first team? Honestly, you just seem to pop up in negative threads or turn threads into negative ones. What were you saying a couple of weeks ago about Ashley wearing Coloccini's shirt when the signing hadn't been confirmed? What was that, I didn't hear you? Oh yes, he did sign. And what about the Gutierrez hold up that you and UV were complaining about? Oh, that turned out to be quite a big deal, didn't it? All excellent points, that will undoubtabley be ignored, twisted and turned into questions. I admire your courage but he's a lost cause.

It's only going to be a long hard season if you believe that we have a poor squad. I don't believe we have a poor squad, just a small one but it's not the smallest. Hopefully, we will have a couple more too add by tommorow.

R.E The PR, especially after getting beat off Arsenal.

Completely agree. Surely none of our fans could expect us to offer him anything more?

Hopefully this is true and it can all be put to bed. Micheal Owen staying at the club would be a massively positive move. BTW, is the reason they are using the word extention because that's how much he is earning already? If he wants more than he is currently on, then he can fuck off, so i expect him to accept it.

We can't sign anyone on monday, Shirley? (Unless they're a free agent of course, but how many of them would "shock the world"?) Why can't we sign anyone on monday like?

Who ever said the words "we are missing milner" needs shot.

It's the third game, of course it is.

You were saying. Shame because we had just started to play better.

"Ashley hates toon football so much he gets drunk at match shocker"

I'd agree with this. Put Barton on the right perhaps and let Jonas have a free roam behind Owen.

Who's the main commentator? he's a right fucking arsehole Stiring the shit before the match started, and dwelling on our apparent negatives instead of the good 1st 2 games GRADE A CUNT John Champion. Aye, knew from the offset it was going to be an arsenal wankfest.

Laughable. OMG!!!!!!!!! WE ARE LOSING AGAINST ARSENAL. Get a grip. We look threatening enough on the front foot we just can't get the ball because Arsenal are a better team.... or did you not know that?

Jonas looks even more theatening on the right. That's about the only positive i could find. Arsenal are dominating as usual but the commentators are kissing arsenals backside something cronic.

12m? You could have had James Milner for that.

Tuesday. Oh aye.

Maybe not but he might beat the full back more often and deliver more crosses, which has been my only critisism of him so far.

Happy to see the combination of Enrique and N'Zogbia on the left. Am i correct in thinking we have not seen that yet? If we have it's been the odd occasion. As others have said, that isn't a bad side.

So if it was Milner's decision to leave, how could anyone at the club be at fault. He wanted a wage rise that, in the opinion of many people, he did not deserve.

It is possible that KK wanted Milner to stay, yet thought Villas offer was too good to refuse and the club made a decision to sell. Of course thats just stupid.
