I'm new to this feed chaps, so hello!
I really think City need to move swiftly on the Milner transfer TODAY; agree that after his performance and Lerner's comments (whether accurate or not) AV may start to play silly b****rs on this. If Ireland's demands are causing the delay, then I would simply pay CASH to get the deal done; but by informing Ireland of this strategy, it puts pressure on him given that he's not even in the 25 squad and he wants to play somewhere, so may bring the thing back on line in any event.
People say Milner is not worth more than £20m; my view is that he's worth what we are willing to pay for him. I was disappointed with SWP yesterday against Spurs and imagined how Milner would have fared out on the right; I think he would have done better, and am pretty certain he would have put away that chance in the opening mins of the second half - or atleast got a shot off in time.
Let's see what unfolds today...
