mrmojorisin75 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Looks like the idea to declare the transfer request has paid off then, if it brought Everton into the game, forcing up the fee. yup! happy days, good deal can't wait to see who we replace him with Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_R Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I wonder how much the sell-on clause is for to Leeds? They're going to be happy about this, that's for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sturla Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I am at work surrounded by Villa supporters and they are over the moon that Milner is supposedly 'having a medical' at Villa right now. But to be honest for around £10mil they can have him and I truly believe we must have a few players lined up and almost signed. One to replace Milner (don't think Ashley would be stupid enough to sell him without a replacement ready to sign) and the others to fill in those much need Midfield and Defender positions! it's an interesting one that, why did the club go public? because they agreed a deal with another player and wanted to force villa to bid for milner against everton uppping the fee... fookim hope so! I highly doubt it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 IF he goes,which now seems likely. i wonder if there'll be a chorus of "there's only one greedy bastard" on his return.

tmonkey Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Bloody hell, £12m for Milner. They must think he'll turn into some player. To be fair to the lad, he'll put the effort in no doubt and he's still young, but so far he's shown himself to have the ability of a £4million player if anything. Cant ever see him getting a regular game for England. £12 million, its hard to believe. I think that blinder against Coventry has raised his price significantly, a few scouts must have been watching him and considered that kind of performance to be his potential, which is misleading as the Premiership has stronger, faster, better fullbacks than Coventry had. Good luck to him though, a transfer request is imo more honourable and honest than trying to engineer a move in private and thereby still getting a loyalty bonus. I think we have a better replacement already at the club in Jonas, we already have a better young winger with far more pace and dribbling/crossing ability in Zog, and there are considerably better wingers than him out there, so he'll not be missed. Hope he develops into a good winger eventually, but without meaning to sound bitter, im glad it's someone else who'll be developing him, and not us. He'll not suit the style of football that we want to play, but should should others. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sicko2ndbest Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Well 10 mil plus is a great deal for Milner but the lack of transfer links for us is getting very worrying. If we've been working at deals all this week that will be done before Monday then fine but if not one player comes and Milner goes then Ashley should be advised not to stand in the crowd anymore. I don't think he could be that stupid so by Monday we'll know, but he'll be facing a barage of abuse if he doesn't act at all. Can't say I'd be any less bothered if the know-nowt papers were linking us to players though tbf. I know it's a pian to hear about but did anybody actually witness him saying about this 'wow' signing? Or is yet more bollocks? Nope. It's purely based on an internet post. Keegan has since said... "We definitely need a defender, and a midfielder, and then if the owner wants to get us a wow signing, then that would be great for everyone". Wrong It was on a bbc video after a game, def said i Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 IF he goes,which now seems likely. i wonder if there'll be a chorus of "there's only one greedy b******" on his return. (i'm very pissed off with his behaviour over this even if the outcome-12mill if true- is fantastic for us) I don't really blame Milner, I think he'd have stayed given any encouragement. He gambled and he lost basically. i blame him because he signed a contract last year and wanted a better deal because someone else got one. that someone else was in the last year of his contract (the normal time for renegotiating contracts). pure and simple greed IMO.
