I thought Milner looked very good for Villa

[David Hodgson]

I haven't paid close attention to him before, but he really caught the eye down Villa's right. His crossing wa really dangerous.

 

If we end up bargain basement hunting again he could be an interesting option.

[Cooldude]

Traore makes everyone look good

[Benitez]

Villa are close to signing him from Newcastle I think? Although it'd make more sense for them to wait for a new manager before selling off players

 

Fec knows why Newcastle want to sell him tho, surely he'd only make their team better next season. He's a decent player, he's had a pretty good season playing in a pretty terrible team.

[Mike]

he was up against traore.

well, he wasn't even up against DH traore cos traore was never in position.

[hideNseek]

He's just above average, no where near good enough for us.

[owenthomas]

you could probably get Pennant for a similar fee i reckon..

[salkavalka]

Why are we not in for Milner, he's good with the ball, and takes good freekicks, go for him, I think we can have him for 4-6 mil.

Because he's shyte?

Got 10 assists to Pennant's 4 this season, having played about 10 less games.

 

Cracking cross he put in for that break he engineered, where Barry headed into the ground and it bounced over the bar...

So, are we in for pretty people then, so we will not go for Rooney, that's for sure.

[galés rojo]

Milner is a good player but i see him more as an attacking central player than winger,would rather players with more pace to play on the flanks.

Problem with assist stats is that you're dependent on someone else putting the ball in the back of the net

[Cunny]

Milner is a good little player. He's been one of the few positive points of Villa's season.

He's far from s**** and who gives a f*** if he's ugly.

I'm not saying we should sign him or need him but he's a decent player, good crosser and dead ball deliverer.

An extremely valid point!

 

I reckon Pennant's a better player anyway, was just surprised at how few assists he had this season...

Exactly! Pennant has to rely on Heskey to put the ball in the back of the net and therein lies the problem.

Just about sums it up for me as well. Might be worth £2mill in the current market, but no more. The other night, the amount of times he had the chance to put Baros and Angel in and over hit it or under hit it or misplaced was unbelievable.

He's our Player of the Year for me. He is young, ethusiastic, fast, fit, and possesses a little bit of guile. He isn't the finished article, but I'd like to see him develop in a Villa shirt.

[Guest toadboy]

I'd have looked great against Traore, hopefully that was his last ever game for Liverpool at Anfield.

[Clay Davis]

I don't rate him more than a very average player tbh.
