It's all gone a little quiet on this deal.

Milner has had a 'back injury' over the past week and hasn't been involved in any of our (poor) pre-season games.

Personally I think Milner and O'Neill have just about had enough of each other and all this talk and they both want the deal done.

I'm really hoping we get £20m and Ireland. Superb deal for us, not sure about you guys, but as money isn't really an option it's nothing to really worry about.

I would be delighted with that deal. Ireland is one of the most over rated players in the league IMO.

City do not want to pay a penny over 20m so I doubt we would give you a 12-15m player on top. If Ireland is in the deal it will be about 8m cash on top.
 
if Ireland was gonna go to villa and milner come to us, id expect villa to be giving us 8m on top. not the other way round. bad business. milner is way overrated.

Yep, now Kaka is 85% off his asking price 18 months ago.

Bargain I say, eh?

What tosh. Hardly see Kaka running up and down the pitch, giving the side a bit of energy. If we want Kaka, we should sign him aswell. Forget him i'd say - i've had enough of tempramental Brazilians

'Literally' not fit enough to wipe Milner's arse.

Milner pushes us on to that next level, without even more pressure being systematically applied from both within and outside, in terms of another so-called superstar.

Kaka had his chance. We missed the biggest fook-up in football history.

or we could ask for Milner + £20mil for Jo. PMSL

I really dont get why people rate Ireland so highly.
 
Ireland's had one good season in five, and is very overrated himself going missing in derby games on a regular basis.

Milners a better player, end of. Diferent type of player but more reliable. Ireland plus £12m is about fair.
 
Maybe this delay is a calculated tactic. As soon as we give our money to Villa, it will kick start a transfer chain the other teams are hoping for. We give to villa, they then give a chunk to spurs and other(s), they then buy/sell etc etc...

Seems like their is a queue at the bus stop of transfers here and City are in the driving seat. The less time we give to the other english teams to materialise their deals the better it is for us. Simples....

Hope Ireland is not part of the deal and stays with us for at least one more season.

i agree with your post

Randy Lerner will be at Villa on Friday and i assume he's over to get this deal done..
 
Doubt its any calculated tactic. I would imagine Mancini would like to get Milner asap due to pre-season plans.

It's all about money IMO.

i think it would be more important to integrate Milner asap than to delay the transfer

I hope he is part of the deal then that will end the blinded beleif that he is a top player as they say one swallow doesnt make a summer and one friggin season doesnt make a world class player. As I have said and will stick by fuckin Adios Steve.

If you'd read my post correctly you'll see it's not that i rate Ireland that highly, but James Milner so lowly.

I'm deeply apologetic if anyone disagrees but James Milner is not worth 20m let alone some bungled deal with Ireland going the other way.

This is the only signing (that looks like it could happen rather than rumour) that has disappointed me during mancini's tenure.

I'm not sure why some people have these fantastical reasons as to why Milner hasn't signed... isn't the reason that we've not yet agreed a fee with Villa as not good enough reason?
 
Why would we sell Ireland at a low price.

Surely he must be in the £10mill - £12mill bracket and if he's included in any deal for Milner then we give them £12mill (City have allegedly bid £24mill) and Ireland.

I like Milner's work rate and feel he will only improve, but I also think Ireland will improve and rather we off loaded the likes of Jo, Caceido, Robinho.
 
Milner is a dire specimen. What we already have is far superior to him.
They should be paying us in an Ireland, Milner cash deal.

I'm glad to see we are slowly backing away from this one.
