We played 442 till half time. We had to change formation when Agbonlahor got injured before second half. In 442 he play centrally alongside Petrov. In second second half when we changed formation he played in a 3 man midfield, more attacking.

You know what, not bad, much better than the first game. He made some good balls and tracked back a few times, making some tackles. Not outstanding like, but was on the better half of players in our team. He wasn't to blame for this defeat. Habib Beye and Curtis Davie were at fault for the...

I miss Milner. Fancy a swap deal involving Habib Beye, Curtis Davies, Stephen Ireland and £18 million?

Congratulations City, you've got yourself a cracking player here, he is a player who will never give up you on the pitch. Hope Ireland can make an impact over this side.

Re: city make milner bid (SSN) Well lets hope this falls through then so we can keep our average player. He has won us many matches. He never had a steady start to his playing career with the turmoils of Leeds and Newcastle, we gave him some statabilty and through that he thrived. Arguably now...

Apparantly our interest in Ireland has been since the start of the summer. I don't work behind the scenes at Villa, but I'm sure they've looked at other midfielders too. Flamini is one that has been mentioned. Who have City got lined up if they dont get Milner right now? 4 million less that...

If he's mediocre why do you want him? I saw quite a few pages back on here over the weekend, some people on here saying he could be like Lampard.

I agree, he is not worth 30 million but who is really? To us, he is an intergral piece of our team and is of big value to the overall team, we can put whatever price we want on our player, Villa never put him on the market. 30 million is the price we wanted, because maybe we just don't want to...

That was what was thought at that time, a few people were saying that. MM even said on an earlier page that the info was from another forum poster he had just past on over her. He may have just wanted a quick burger king at one of the many burger kings on the m6.

Mysteryman has been a very reliable ITK on VillaTalk for a long time, so what he is saying should be correct. Kev Mac could be naming Villas Europa leage squad today.

I personally never boo'd Barry on his return. The gripe Villa fans had was, he would have stayed if we made champ football that year (missed out after being 8 points ahead of the Gooners) and he clearly said he wanted champions league football. When Villa didn't make it, fans were slightly...

At the end of the day, I don't think any of us have the gift of forsight so we will just have to see what happens in the future. A lot can happen or cant happen in a year, we can all speculate.

You can't compare Patrick Viera to Gareth Barry. In his hay day Pat was a much better player than Bazza has ever been. I don't think Barry will be good enough for you in a years time, thats no insult more of a compliment. Would Barry be happy being a bench warmer next season with his England...

The original point was Barry wanted to leave Villa to play champions league football. That is what he said in his own words during the whole Liverpool Barry situation 2 years ago. However, a deal wasn't made and Barry stayed another year at Villa. The Villa faithful had come to terms that if we...

In the Guardian they have said that if its not sorted in the next 24 hours Milner will play for Villa in Vienna and the deal could be off. If true, could be an eventful 24 hours.

Exactly my point! Your squad will get stronger and stronger, more world class players will arrive next summer if you secure a top 4 finish, which could push Barry out of a 23 or 25.

Who is to say he will make the 23 or 25 next season for the champions league? If we can secure another striker and a right back along with Ireland I'll be happy enough. Our youth looks good having dominated reserve and youth leagues last few years.

Where you going to fit him? You got Yaya Toure, De Jong and potentially Milner coming in who can play his position to name a few, plus no doubt some bigger signings next summer if you secure champions league football. Not taking a digg at City, just commenting on Barry, wasn't overly impressed...

Thing is, if you get champions league football next season will Barry even make the team? Good chance he won't. Theres two more transfer windows till next season afterall.

We made effort to keep Barry, gave him another year after Liverpool tried buying him. Last year of contract, made it clear he wanted to go. People were annoyed because Barry said he wanted to leave to get champions league football, however he ended up going to you instead of Liverpool. City...
