Kimbo Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Here's an idea. How about if Villa want him and value him at £9m or whatever, we call O'Neill's bluff and offer £8m plus Milner for Barry...which would meet their valuation. Would make things a bit interesting methinks. Lets offer £10m plus Milner for a 40% share in AVFC enterprises!! http://www.seriouslybusiness.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2007/02/dragons-den-entrepreneurs.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 ANy player no matter who he is, if they dont want to be here let them go Don't be silly, it's all the club's fault. As usual. Tut-tut Dave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Doubt Barry would come here though. Probably not, but if Liverpool or Arsenal don't match the fee, you just never know. I think he wants to go to a club like that because he wants to step up and get a crack at Europe. I am certainly not a doom merchant but we are on level with Villa at the moment and thats me being kind to us. That's true...but remember when Jenas was linked with Arsenal all summer, their interest dropped, and he took the sideways step to Spurs? You never know.

Thespence Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Spotty Yorkshire prick, he can do one. Fairplay for having the balls to put a transfer request in, hopefully the club will accept it & let all (Villa/Milner/Milners agent) the interested parties know the price & stick to that.

Syrette Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 If Keegan rates him so highly and O'neil is prepared to pay up to £10m fro him, he should direct any anger you may have at the idiots running the club prerpared to sell someone who will be in the Engalnd squad this season, and not at him, you just sound, and make is all sound like idiots. The lengths some people will go to to attack the board. Genuine fabrication. He's not the one making us sound like idiots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenas still had his whole career ahead of him and just wanted out of Newcastle didn't he? I think Barry would be better off at Villa, not sure if he would risk signing for us at a value of about £18m then he would definitely be ending any chance of signing for a champions league club as we are hardly going to sell at a loss/same value.

England squad? Based on what? Milner has done absolutely nothing over the last 12 months to warrant a pay rise. Fact is, our form improved when he was out of the team towards the end of last season. england squad my prick.

Guest The Corner Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Milner also had to wait 12 months for the club to stop dithering over the improved contract offer (matching of Villa's terms) and was still earning less for that period. Why sign it then? So then what happens? He continues to earn less money while the club continue negotiating? Perhaps at the time he didn't think he'd be involved as much with the new high-earners (Smith, Geremi, Barton, etc) joining the club, as it turns out... As for the moronic comments about "he's only just signed a new contract" - does that stop you asking for a payrise in your annual appraisal, especially if you've been working your bollocks off to do a decent job while some of your higher paid colleagues contribute very little? this, and i would love to hear the clubs reasons for telling us he handed in a transfer request 7 days after he actually did Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicky Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Pretty annoyed by todays events in general. Why shouldn't Milner be on an equal pay to Taylor/N'Zogbia? Why sign a contract 12 months after agreeing it? Why demand another one, just 1 year later? Why hand in a transfer request when thats not met? A contract is a contract. And mainly, Why has the club released todays statement, a week after the actual events? Load of shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idiot. embarrassing mate, get it sorted a premiership winger gives premiership full-backs problems the last time I checked. He's without doubt the least gifted winger i've ever seen in a nufc shirt. No pace, no final ball, poor passing, no intelligence. Robson was on a roll when he described Ambrose, O'brien and Milner as 'fantastic young talent'.
