there'd be riots in Germany. Can you imagine? esp. if that team wins the WC. German captain swapped for soft Brasilian stepover king? Never.

cheers

Milner is very average.
He's a cross. Same ilk as De Jong really. Only good at one thing.

If we sign another couple of players to compliment these 2, say, one who can only score, one who is just fast, one who just does tricks, and one with a good header, and morph them all together, then we'll have one complete footballer at a cost of £150m.

Mint.

Milner proved he cannot beat a man at the world cup, he was tosh. I've never been impressed with him at Villa either. I'm all for signing young English talent, and I'd have Milner at £15m (only coz Villa payed £12m), but anything more than that and I'll be fucking fuming. He'll be as big a let down as Jo at that price. Its fucking £2.5m off the British Transfer Record. Rediculous!!!!!

i guess then you dont rate him. i wouldn't try to change your opinion, but i will ask, what english player playing that kind of role would be as good or better. Also how did you rate Lampard at the same age Milner is now. Im saying that cos i rekon Lampard would have demaded a high price at the time. He moved to Chelsea in 2001 for 11 mil age 22.

I'd look elsewhere. End of. Milner isn't a £30m pound player. As I said, Robbie is the record, world class talent, Milner isn't worth just £2m less than the world renowned Robinho, he's just an average premier league player.

i'm prone to think yr joking about Robson. Truth is Robson hasn't been worth half what we paid. Milner is surely worth 20M and if we have to pay 25M as a City tax of sorts then so be it. Milner mattered 100x more for Villa than Robinho has mattered for City. if i had to chose which i'd have in my side it would be Milner every time.

Look at Robbie's time at Madrid and then here. see a pattern? Milner just keeps getting better and better.

cheers

i agree with you on the 30mil it is plain stupid. But you have skipped my question, if you say elsewhere, what comes to mind as an english player? I dont think it is too easy and thats why i mentioned Lampard as a kind of comparison of the value of Milner. What would 11mil 10years ago be in todays market? 18mil? Villa paid about 12 for Milner a couple of years back, he has done well for them and got an england spot. So maybe they got him at the right time and got a reasonable deal. In a strict sense he is probably worth 15-18mil but that i think doesn't take into account the steady rise in value of english players and now the new found premium on them. So the 18 + add ons that city offered sounds about right even if it would be the upper limit. As i wrote earlier if City want to pay more than that it is up to them but i dont think they want to or will. The 23 mil being bandied about is a high price and only time will tell if it is worth it. I very much doubt City would go above that. If they paid that i would think that they paid over the odds, but as i say it may prove to be worth it, also it may not.
One of the reasons i mentioned lampard is that he also doesn't do anything fancy and often looks quite an average player yet the old git would fetch 30mil minimum even at 32.

The word is Zabaleta and DeJong are being offered in part exchange for Ibrahimovic. Or Robinho, depending on the paper!

Lazio president Claudio Lotito has slapped an £18.7million price tag on reported Manchester City and Real Madrid target Aleksandar Kolarov.

The Serbia international is under contract at the Rome outfit until June 2011 but has attracted interest from Europe's biggest clubs after turning in strong displays since joining from OFK Beograd in 2007.

Italian media recently reported that Lazio had turned down a £12million bid from Madrid for the 24-year-old left-back, and Lotito claimed earlier this week that the player could leave at the right price.

"In my opinion, he is worth as much as [Lazio striker Mauro] Zarate, who we paid 22.5million euros for," said Lotito, who added that the player was not actively seeking a move away from the Serie A club.

"Kolarov has not asked to be transferred," Lotito continued. "He has only expressed an ambition to continue his career at a superior club.

"From our part, we have never put the player on the transfer market."

[Wooders]

yep, de jong has his faults but he's a great player against the "attacking" teams

Wow. Well I hope Marwood and Cook tell them to get fooked. Besides we can get him for nothing on pre-contract agreement on january.
