And so it begins...

If it is a Milner + cash / Barkley deal I will be delighted, however I cant help but be amazed at Milners lack of ambition. If he had no game time at City it would be understandable, he isnt a automatic starter but he does get a significant amount of game time in a title winning side, playing Champions League football.......he scored the winner in the Allianz Arena against the then current European Champions. I cant believe he is willing to swap this to be a regular starter in a team with little or no chance of winning anything and no Champions League football. I dont mean this as any form of disrespect to Everton, I am just saying it as it is. He left a similar scenario at Villa to come to us.

I knew Milner would eventually go but he is a jack of all trades wonder who will fill his spot...

Tolmie, providing it is Barkley, how confident are we that this deal could go through this summer?

Give me a percentage :)

20%

I reckon it's highly unlikely that Everton would accept players in return for Barkley. Or to put it another way, if they did we'd still need to be bringing close to 40 million pounds hard cash to the table. For example, 40 million plus Rodwell OR Milner could get a deal done. But then I suspect if you offered Everton 40 million hard cash without a player involved you'd probably be in with a shot of getting him.

Yaya is going absolutely nowhere as things stand...I'm off to the shop to get a 20p mix :)

20 is highlighted. Barkley is #20 at Everton

The Seahorses were from York (apart from Squire), Milner's from Yorkshire. Love is the law...he love's the game and just wants to play, and therefore will consider a move which offers him a chance to play rather that hunting medals?

I think I am correct in saying that TH stated a few days ago, that Everton would only entertain the idea of selling Barkley if we were willing to throw the likes of Milner into the mix. I can understand why both clubs would do it, I dont understand why Milner would.

Milner and Barry could be tight, having played at Villa together and then City, maybe Barry has recommeded Milner to Martinez as a CM, which is where Milner wants to play.

Wouldn't underestimate Everton they have a very goo young manager and could have a midfield 3 of Barry, Rodwell and Milner.

Also milner is a good friend of Barry's
