No, but it wouldn't surprise me. And I think this is our final offer, tbh. No way we'll be offering £30 mill.
if we go over 24 mil il be extremely embarressed,and thats coming from someone who really wanst him here

Monkfish said:Are any of you saying what a pointless signing Milner would be aware of a complete lack of energy in our midfield last season - and also aware of the energy Milner provided for Villa? If Milner was a City player last season I think we would have strolled 4th and possibly pushed Arsenal for 3rd.
He isnt the worlds best but a vast improvement on what we had in the middle of the park last year. Ok we now have Yaya, and if he is out for 6 weeks after the Spuds game??? We go back to the midfield generals of Ireland and Barry? Good look not being overun by Everton again with that! Players like Milner make teams play better, and you probably only really appreciate it when you watch the player control games week after week, and Milner certainly played a pivotal role in a Villa midfield that controlled a lot of games. Can you name any game last season where we bossed midfield? Even in the games we won comfortably it was pretty obvious where our weakness lay. Too easy to sometimes blame the defence when that defence has midfielders running at them unapposed.
Granted he is overpriced at 25 million, but money really isnt an issue, if Villa manage to challenge us due to the money they got for Milner good luck to them - but this will because they overperformed and we underperformed. Villa are not our rivals anymore. If they are next season we deserve another season of failure.
This the point. Right now we have one player than can bring the ball up from the back to the front Yaya. Berry, DeJong, and AJ couldnt do it last year what makes you think all the sudden they can this year? Milner is needed. If we dont get him.. we better get someone back up Yaya.

We really should walk from this at 24m if they've rejected that.
That represents an excellent deal from them, if they think they can squeeze more then sod em... let them keep an unhappy player for year and we or someone else will have him for much less than that.

I'd be much happier with £15million plus Ireland for Milner.

That's precisely the point, there must be a plan B or C instead of this guy. I understand the need for this type of player... but let's not turn it in a obsessed Hughes-type transfer. If they won't take 24m walk away... look at other options... let the player force the transfer through if need be - 24m should be enough to make it happen.

Not a fair comparison, Milner isnt an injured RSC, he is an up and coming young player having had the best season of an already good career for a young player, you and I might feel other players are better bets, Mancini clearly doesnt or those possibly those 'better bets' are not interested in us. And if Milner is our first choice a couple of million means nothing us unless the press having a go about overpaying really matters? It wont matter if Milner helps us to some silverware thats certain.

That is exactly what will happen.............if Villa don't allow this to happen then they'll have one seriously pissed off player to contend with next season!!
