Aston Villa have rejected an offer of 20 million pounds for England winger James Milner. The youngster is said to be unfazed as he is concentrating on making Capello's final 23 for South Africa. But we know one man who is thinking about it and that is Martin O'Neill, who I am sure doesn't want to part with one his seasons stars and hardest working player around. If Milner is to go it will take a lot to replace him, but do you think more than 20 million will suffice?
Yes, Milner will be wearing the blue of City by the end of the transfer window!
No, City won't cough up the money for him so he will stay with Villa
I'm not sure!
Who cares?
Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill has today admitted that James Milner wants to leave the club and that the England will be sold if the price is right. Manchester City have already had a bid rejected for him earlier this summer but do you think Milner will move to Eastlands? Vote now!
That's a big blow, Aston Villa might be satisfied with a mid-table finish.
His resignation was rumored for a couple of years now but it finally happened yesterday. Martin O'Neill guided Aston Villa to three consecutive 6th place finishes in the Premier League but decided to leave probably because the club didn't give him enough money for transfers this summer. The club might also sell its two star players, James Milner and Ashley Young and most likely O'Neill agreed to let only one of the two leave. What will happen to Aston Villa this season?
Not sure, but I think it will go all the way to penos
I personally can't wait to see Sunday's Carling Cup Final between Manchester United and Aston Villa, however I'll be honest, I haven't got a clue who is going to win. I am voting for it to go all the way to penos, but what do you think?
Following Martin O'Neill's resignation just a few days before the start of the season Aston Villa have been looking for a replacement and they finally set their eyes on French manager Gerard Houllier. He has good Premier League experience as he spent six seasons leading Liverpool. The most successful one was in 2001 when Liverpool won the FA Cup, League Cup and UEFA Cup.
It's a pretty bizarre thing: since Martin O'Neill was appointed manager of Aston Villa, in 2006, the team never won a game in the month of March. They played 12 games since then in the first month of spring and never came out on top. Now they will have some easier games to play, the FA Cup quarter-final at Reading on Sunday - followed by Premier League fixtures away to Stoke City on 13th March and Wigan Athletic on 16th March. Will the curse come to an end?
No, there'll be tired legs come June and they'll miss out
Aston Villa missed out on the Carling Cup trophy thanks to Wayne Rooney a couple of weeks ago but are set for the FA Cup semi-final also, which is a great achievement for any English club. Not only that though, they're still in contention for 4th spot in the Premier League, do you think they can clinch it and top off a fantastic season for Martin O'Neill's men?
