We should pay no more than 25m. If Superman and SWP stay, we will have plenty of squad cover in midfield and on the flanks. No need to pay silly money.

This has the Lescott saga all over again.
If Milner does come,then no doubt O`Neil will put the blame on us,if he can`t find a decent replacement,late on in August.
Will serve the twat right !!

That's flawed logic, so if we buy a terrible player from a club that won something, it's OK to pay more than for an outstanding player in a team that has struggled. I'm not saying Milner is outstanding but he puts in consistently good performances all season, he has a determination to win that I don't see in abundance in our team at the moment and our midfield still looks immobile, slow and lacking creativity.<br /><br />-- Wed Jul 28, 2010 1:49 pm --<br /><br />ste.sully said:Same here. You pay £25-30m for players who win things, Balotelli and Toure = Champions League trophy, titles - Milner = Nothing. If we do pay the 25m, then Aston Villa will be laughing to the bank and clubs will know forever that City are a light touch when it comes to buying players.cityboy1 said:this guy isn't worth 30 mill
I used rant at postings like this, now I give them the benefit of the doubt and accept you have an insiders view on things, but the way these things twist and turn on an hourly basis it doesn't mean much. It looks as though O'Neil is willing to take this one to the wire at the £30m line in the sand.Pollerz said:25mill improved bid has been made, deal to be completed in the coming week.
found this out on friday havnt been around since. Pretty sure some ppl are gna give this threat the usual bullshit so if a mod wants to just lock it and let ppl look thats fine.

I was in the lucky position last year to witness first hand MON's conversion of Milner from the wing and into a CM role, and I was screeming the house down on another forum for us to sign him then. However if you think that he will inject pace into our team you will be very badly suprised. It is because of his lack of acceleration that MON moved him in-field.
We have better wing options at the club and we have just bought the ability to link midfield to attack. It follows therefore that we are looking to him as the utility midfielder (Zab?) and I say with some justification that there are better available and a dam sight cheaper.

would of been a decent addition to the squad but the price was bloody stupid if this is true then on to the next target it is!

The odds have gone from 1/10 to 1/6.
Ozil is 1/5 to join United too!

I hope we sign Ozil and let Milner stay with Villa
