Park Life 71 Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I've got no probs with getting shot of Milner as long as the money is used wisely. No pun intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia 0 Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 To be fair anything over £6/7 million for Milner is a good deal. £10 million is daylight robbery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 71 Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 To be fair anything over £6/7 million for Milner is a good deal. £10 million is daylight robbery! I have a feeling Villa will bid. They've been quoted £20m for Bentley and no way O'Neill is going to pay that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I'd pay in the region of £20m for Bentley if we could get £10m for Milner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Seriously why would anyone pay £10 million for Milner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jusoda Kid 1 Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Should they not have finished the sentence with: 'because they haven't pushed the deal through quick enough for KK' 10 mil for him, I hope Ashley puts a mask on when doing the deal.

acrossthepond 878 Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Good to see the inflation of English players' values goes both ways. The Reyes story is another recycle. The journos really have no idea, do they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMoog 0 Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 From SSN: Sky Sports News understands Wigan Athletic have made an approach to re-sign Jimmy Bullard. The midfielder left Wigan to join Fulham in a £2.5million deal two years ago, but is wanted back at the JJB Stadium. Bullard made 157 appearances, scoring 11 goals, in his first spell with the Latics before heading to Craven Cottage. The 29-year-old suffered a serious knee injury just four games into his Fulham career and did not play a first-team match for 16 months. However, his return to action in the second half of last season proved to be a pivotal factor in Fulham avoiding relegation from the Premier League. Cottagers boss Roy Hodgson is now facing a battle to hang on to the talismanic Bullard following the approach from his former club. I'd hijack that if he's on the cheap.
