Unfortunately that's not likely to happen.
I would think/hope that any true supporter would give Milner (or any other player) their full backing and support.

Unfortunately that's not likely to happen. He's now going to be seen as the player who replaced Ireland. This deal is going to end up looking like the E'to and Ibra deal where Barca got fucked.
Yeh - replaced Ireland who was pretty dire last season for us! You, sir, are talking rubbish here - and didnt Ibra score more goals than Eto'o last season for his club?
Stop embarrassing yourself - you have the right to state your opinion but, please, look at your last few posts again...
irreverent ad said:macmanson said:Graham Dorrans from WBA would be a cheaper (less than 10m probably) and better buy in my opinion. Had an outstanding year in the championship with 13 goals and 19 assists in 42 games. Just like AJ, I think he'd easily adapt to the premier league. Danny Rose from Tottenham looks like a good prospect mid who can play all mid positions but excels at the wing. An England U21 as well. I'd even prefer David Bentley over Milner.
No, money is not an object for us at the moment but pride and reputation is. If this deal goes through, we'll have every club in the world believing they can hold us over a barrell and force us to pay 2 times what a player is worth. Milner is simply not worth the amount of money + players being talked about. It's a ridiculous deal we should have walked away from after the 20m bid was turned down.
So you would prefer Bentley, Dorrans and Danny Rose over Milner?!?
NURSE!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would prefer all of them over Milner as they'd be as effective for far less money then we'd pay for Milner. Milner will be seen as a £30m dollar player who replaced Ireland so he'll be doomed before he even puts on a shirt. He was a distinctly average player at Villa whose goal rate was boosted by the fact that he was the team's leading penatly taker. This guy will not turn City's midfield into an offensive force. He won't be pushing forward, he'll be another Barry-esque defensive midfielder in Mancini's 4-3-1-2 formation. A position we have more than enough cover in.

What about the 15 assists ?
Were they all shots turned crosses ?
Marvin said:3rd in assists table last season. And defends as wellmacmanson said:Milner was also the team's penalty taker so his goals are even that more skewed. This guy will generate fuck all for us from the midfield. He goes missing in the big games. Even Villa fans will tell you that.
We weren't exactly lacking in the assist department though. We had 4 or 5 players in the top 20 in assists last season. What we didn't have was midfielders chipping in on scoring and Milner won't offer us that especially against the big teams.
