Milner Hands In Transfer Request...

[HangTheDJ]

Well it's undiclosed so we wont know until end of the season...But he is worth it.

[anti social]

Look. Bottom line we needed a right winger. I remember when ppl were like "u spent how much on ashley young??!!" Its just a shame we didnt get him earlier. Roll on sunday.

[The King]

JJ seriously what am I missing???

Guy has NEVER scored more than 3 goals in the league. I bet his assists are not far off that too.He's just a willing worker.£15million quid? Your 'avin a laugh.

[Trim]

GET THE f*ck IN THERE.It's £12M JJ, rising to £15M if he gets an England cap, and you lot get 6th within 3 seasons.APPARENTLY.And Leeds get 25% no matter what, Ken Bates confirmed that.Stick a £7M bid for Valencia and a loan bid for Saviola and I'll be even more buzzing.

if this is true, newcastle are sick. people were laughing wen rumours started going roung of £9 million nothing more nothing less.

[HangTheDJ]

People can laugh all they want, let them, I like it.People laughed when we signed Ashley, Davies, NRC for similair money.All that matters is Villa fans have a squad that they can be proud of - that they KNOW will give 100% every single game.Newcastle fans might be laughing at us, but I bet Keegans not, I bet hes absolutely distraught at losing him...No more of us having Patrik Bergers, Leonhardsons, Mathieu Bersons, Djemba Djembas or Milan Baros'.We have a squad of players that seriously want to be here (with the exception of Barry ) and will give 100% week in week out.Milner completes that.He is class, you will see. It's just that only Villa fans know it because we saw what he did for us that season he kept us up.And as for laughing, well lets just hope we can have you in hysterics with the 20million capture of Dean Ashton.

I never laughed at any of them three signings.Oh and Keegan clais it was his decision to seel, he could have kept him against his will.

[HangTheDJ]

My post wern't directed at you TF or anyone specific, and I mean in an ideal world he'd of kept a happy Milner.After the Cov games on Tuesday he was saying Milners a class act and he should be in the England team.It might seem like a lot right now but it completes our midfield.Out of all the right wingers we were linked with this Summer (Lennon, SWP, Bentley, Milner) I only wanted Bentley more but that was never going to happen.Milner is a class act off the pitch as well as on it too.But like my mate has just said to me, the best thing about this transfer means we have an attacking threat down the right flank which will allow our-Ashley even more space down the left.

£15million? Didn't Hleb and Nasri sign for smaller amounts?Shows how the market is messed up right now.

[HangTheDJ]

They hadn't played 200 Premier League games, hold an English passport, be signed from a divisional rival though and have a sell on fee...Oh, and we all know the lack of loyalty they got thrown in for free when they signed Hleb.It's also jokes how you say this is 15million (despite it not being - its 9 straight payment with addons thought to be in the region of 3-5million) yet you claim Torres was 20million..

[Kaiser]

Torres is £20million though(we payed £2.5million for him scoring 30 goals aswell)thats a factbut moving up to £27million depending on major honours (CL+league title etc)

[Action Dan]

The prices paid for non capped English players are a piss take these days.Milner is a good player though, but paceless and erratic sometimes.

[HangTheDJ]

Torres is £20million though(we payed £2.5million for him scoring 30 goals aswell)thats a factbut moving up to £27million depending on major honours (CL+league title etc)

I dont dispute that. I know he is.My point is people will say "Torres was 20million" and "Milner was 15million" when Torres' price doesnt include addons but Milners does, if you get my drift.

I'm just saying that the market is messed up right now. Also Arsenal could have hustled Barcelona harder with Hleb.

[HangTheDJ]

Yeh that too.

ahh I seewhat people dont see is that if the add ons get paid it means the club has done something of noteso its worth it in the end[thread]

[Guest Álvaro Recoba]

productive signing in the long term IMO and i don't even really rate milneralso, i don't think there is just 1 market any morethe market in the premier league between premier league clubs is totally different to a mixed european market(english club selling to a spanish club for EG)

[Trim]

well whoever laughed wen u signed them 3 were pretty stupid especially in the case of young, clear he would be a great player ages ago.as for this torres sh*t, no one knows 100% on here wot the price is so y is every1 actin like they doin and arguin like they do lool aimed @ no1 specific just its stupid that ppl r all doin it like they no wen they themslvs no they dont

[Necksta]

JJ, just admit you got bumped ffs.Villa fans are forgetting that when Milner was on loan to them, he was a LOT more quicker.£12M rising to £15M for Milner, day light robbery.And Keegan acts like that for every player, since when have you ever seen him speak bad about any player.He was praising Barton not so long ago.

[HangTheDJ]

1) We paid the money, O'Neill has said he thinks we got 'very good value' for whatever it is we paid.2) Your manager has expressed several times how much he rates Milner and he has no intention of selling him. He thinks he will be an England international very soon.3) All credible media sources are reporting the figure between 10 and 12million but closer the 10million mark. (not including addons - but you are suggesting hes any guy so he will fail and we wont be paying these addons, will we?).4) You only get 75% of that money any way... So you could have as little as 7.5million from it the deal. (not including agents fees).So I don't really think you can say you bumped us when someone who was firmly in your managers plans has handed in a transfer request and given up 1.5million odd loyalty bonus to leave.

JJ you mans have got a good player there.He'll do well under the guidance of MON.Nice to see a Prem team investing heavily into young English talent.Hopefully Capello takes note.

C/S Every LineNewcastle was the wrong move for him in imoSeems like only yesterday when he broke into the scene with Leeds

[FamilyTree]

is milner the most expensive uncapped english player ever?

[Lieutenant]

12mil is a madnessNewcastle signed him for 5mil 3 or 4 years agoIMO in that time he hasn't really made much progress to warrant his value going up that much

[HangTheDJ]

Yeh.NRC, Curtis Davies and Ashley Young (before he got capped) were up there too, lol.
