James Milner's Name Resurfaces On City Radar

He is worth a lot to Villa, so looks like "oilwell' price if we want him. Played well last night and crossed the ball well.

Bluedub you obviously haven't seen him play on a regular basis or in his correct position, his work rate and Control, skill and crossing ability and passing ability make him worth that much, he gets the team playing and can come up with that peace of magic that wins the game he is also gr8 at holding up the ball and defending, he is a whole hearted player in whatever he does and will go into every challenge and also will play in any position to the best of his ability without complaining. he is the all round player and thats why he got pfa young player of the year and the fact that hes consistant and can play in almost every position makes him a huge asset and some1 who is highly regarded in the england team by fabio capello (who said that james milner is the future of england) much more so than shaun wright philips and adam johnson, u would be lucky to get half the player milner is and he is well worth 30 million because of all these reasons. if james milner isnt worth 15 milllion how much is adam johnson or shaun wright philips worth?? 6million, id have said about 12 million but if james milner is worth half of 30 thats how much adam must cost

I have seen him mate and I am an admirer, but still don't get the valuation. Ashley Young won the PFA young player season before last, enough said. Johnson cost City somewhere in the region of 7 mil, reasonable price. SWP, academy produced, sold for 21 mil, bought back 3 years later for 12, so effectively City made 9 mil for a three year loan( thanks Chelsea ), another bit of good business. But Milner for 30 mil is not good business IMO, it's madness.

Avillian, you sound like you're looking forward to selling him to us. I would've thought you'd come out and state how you dont want him leaving villa for any amount. Anyway £30 million is ridiculous.

If Villa have turned down £20m then we should look elsewhere.

Just depends how you value a player .... on his own merit .... or what he might bring to the team in terms of a particular formation that the manager is trying to achieve. He clearly is not wotyh £30million on the first count but is Mancini wanting a box to box midfielder used to the rigours of the premiership and is prepared to pay over the odds for this?

He's as cuddly as my parrot is our Randy.

Avdom - that must be why he signed Vieira, Johnson and Boateng, eh? And why he's targeting Yaya and Silva.
