Thursday's B*ll*x

[Bingo Lewis]

£30M for Milner is a fucking rip off, and we should tell them to fuck right off.
Do I want us to sign Milner? yes, but for £20m max, otherwise fuck off.

£30m is the price tag and probably what we will end up paying.

Worth every penny.

You think he's that good? A 30 Million Midfielder.

To me, he is the sort of player we missed last season and I'd welcome his arrival. I just don't want to overpay for him because it'll supply other Clubs with more money to spend in a more frugal way. Allardyce knew what he was doing when Santa Cruz finally arrived.

Yes I do think he is that good and potentially even better.

MoN having £30m or whatever to spend is not an issue. He will spend it frugally and Villa will end up in the top 6 or 7 as they always do. I just don't see Villa doing any better than they are now under MoN except that they may actually win a CC final at some stage.

The purchase of RSC was just - well I am not sure what it was you would have to ask Hughes about that. I think RSC is a decent striker but his injury record should have precluded the transfer from happening. A poor business and footballing decision by Hughes and the City board.

Milner is no way worth 30mil but with the 'homegrown' ruling plus leaving for a rival factored in, I think that is what it would take. Whatever happens in the summer will will need to pay well over the odds for any British signings. If I was on the board I'd just offer Robbie in a straight swap deal

Robinho for Milner? O'Neill would never accept that. Robinho for Ibrahimovic sounds more interesting.

[Chinners]

Of course he wouldn't, it was more an anolgy of like for like cost/value wise
