ElDiablo Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Think Milner's perfect for a three man midfield, not so sure about in a 442 though. 20m is ridiculous money but City know they're going to be raped whatever happens. Good luck to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Villa should definitely reject that. a) its Man City b) its a first offer and c) he's worth more than that. ......and theres always d) IF we have a sell-on, more money would be nice Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 £20 million was a fair price a year ago, but Real Madrid and Man City have moved the goalposts severely. Villa going to Barcelona for £30m+ (aged 28) would've been expensive 2 years ago but today it really isnt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Less than 3 years ago people were more than happy for us to accept £4m for milner, comments like "I would drive him there myself". Despite Ashley being a moron he still understands player values a lot better than some. Milner is young, English and coming off and excellent season, they signed him for £12m and he has looked much better since so £20m is probably about right. It's a question of how much someone is willing to pay and how much Villa would accept to sell him. If that's £20m then I suppose he is worth £20m.

Behind Cesc, Lampard, and Drogba. Not bad company. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Very similar to his first stint at Villa that, think he was about 6th or 7th that season alongside players of equal calibre to those ahead of him this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amir_9 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 According to the Sun, WBA bid 2 million for Beattie from Stoke and 4 million for Hunt from Hull I was hoping that we would go for Hunt, both could do well for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughesy Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Don't really why people think Villa would accept a figure of around £20 million for Milner. They bought him for 12-13 million - so it isn't as if the figure being bandied around represents anywhere near a large enough profit for a player who adds so much to their team.

steve_69 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 He's still young, arguably has his best years ahead of him, has had a cracking season and is about to play for England at the world cup. £20m is a bit of a pisstake if you ask me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephen927 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Hopefully Milner and Villa both tell City where to go. Milner has improved so much this season, it's vital for his career he doesn't jeopardise that, a lot of it is down to O'Neil. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A pisstake? I don't know, I just think there's something wrong in a world where 20 million pounds for James Milner is a "pisstake". He a good player, not a great one. I suppose since Villa paid a stupidly inflated price for him two years ago when he had accomplished nothing, they also wanted a stupidly inflated price. Another example of the ridiculous price for English players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubaricho Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Glad to see Mancini come in and not immediately go after a lot of foreign imports and actually try to get some of the established talent already in the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
