sLOVEnianCFCfan 0 Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 James MilnerName :James MilnerAge: 23Club: Aston VillaPosition: Midfielder I have to say that i like him and his style of playing, his versaility and would like to see him in our blue shirt. I can see him as someone who can replace Ballack and after all he is english so that could halp us with that Platini rule that club has to have homegrown players.What do you think guys?

James 5,332 Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Aston Villa would want an awful lot of money for him because his young, english and talented. He'd be a good replacment for anyone of our aging midfields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5354 204 Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 He is a good player for sure. But I feel he does best as a winger more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EskWeston 696 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 No thanks, can't see it as an improvement to our squad to be honest. We are only being mentioned to bump the price up for City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulham Broadway 17,333 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 No thanks, can't see it as an improvement to our squad to be honest. We are only being mentioned to bump the price up for City.Probably true. Would gel quite well with Lampard and Terry though, English spine and all that -he is excellent on the wing who doesnt stop running and if Joe Cole or Ballack goes would be a good acquisition. However -theres a lot of homegrown yoof waiting in the wings.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismada9 1,948 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 ...he's English at the end of the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We Hate Scouse 10,327 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Rumour is City are upping there offer to £30 million....and we're going to match it!I think I will cry if this happens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aesthetic Relic 301 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I like the idea of getting him.When you think back to when we signed Lampard all those years ago there was alot of doubt about him being able to hack it at Chelsea, but if I'm honest, I think Milner is a better player than the Lampard we signed from West Ham.He scores goals, has bundles of energy and who knows....he could end up replacing Lampard when he finally decides to call it a day. A midfield with Essien, Lampard and Milner would have so much drive its scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A midfield with Essien, Lampard and Milner would have so much drive its scary.Totally agree with you. I would love to see him here. A similar type of player to Lamps. Could even end up being the next Lampard in 2 or 3 years. He has been brilliant at Villa this year. In my opinion he should start at the World Cup. He Scores goals, a box to box midfielder, He's versatile. Agree with Aesthetic Relic. A midfield or Essien, Lamps and Milner would be immense. Would be a brilliant signing.Having said that i wouldn't like to pay 30 million for him. 20-22 is enough i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True_Blue 469 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 He would be pricey,over 20mill for sure since Villa rejected City's original bid.At the moment we can't outbid City since they really don't think when they buy players.At least when we started buying we bought players we needed.I feel we don't need Milner,he is a very good young player but i feel other players are more needed.But on the other hand i am not Ancelotti and i can't pick which players i would like.As far as i am concerned bring in Aguero and Kakuta and the youngsters promoted to the 1st team would do us the good of the world.

EskWeston 696 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 With £20m mentioned as being rejected already, this has already become farcical, there is no way we are touching this deal. Even before the prices mentioned it wouldn't have made much sense to sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Drog 1,110 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 25 or 30 million is probably over the odfds but in the modern day transfer climate thats the sort of prices we are talking to secure a very good, promising player. I think a central midfielder is needed, at times our lack of pace in midfield has been exposed, the likes of Mikel and Ballack dont have the legs to get around midfield and the same goes to Lampard but to a far lesser extent. A midfield of Essien, Lampard and Milner would be perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Villa have rejected City's bid probably because of their rivalry moreso than anything else; they are both trying to break into the Big Four monopoly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
