Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay overpriced in my opinion. What d'ya reckon?

28 mil seems overpriced.
but they are guessing.

26 mil would seem overpriced.. but then somehow it seems acceptable on the basis everyone was saying he was worth 20 odd million.
i think that a combination of home grown rule and the extra competition in the top 8 prem teams is pushing prices up for players going up.. sort of in the way that there are only so many younger top players and more teams they could potentially go to.

Apart from the price, i'd be delighted if this actually happened. i like Milner and i think he can improve with City

The English and City premium is bound to add a few million on the price tag so i think we have got a good deal really considering the new rules being implemented.

I don't think City should be afraid to spend big money on great players.

However this guy is far from great.

PS. Is that why he's been bedded down for a couple of days?

I am fairly certain that he wouldn't jeopardise his world cup preparations for a contract signing, and if he would, would we want that sort of player?

I too have aften been sometimes underwhelmed by him. But then in some matches he really does seem to be outstanding, and is raved about by so many that I think he must be worth having. Definitely stood out on his own in that U21 tournament last year.

He ticks a lot of boxes as he is English and young, and can play all across the midfield. As it is now definitely a squad game there will be games that suit him and those that don't, and I fancy our midfield will get rotated a fair bit next season.

Value is not for discussion really - it's the balance of what one club wants as against what another is prepared to pay to get the player. Current market value.

All in all a good aquisition I reckon.

If true...Good signing,good player...I only see him as part of the MF jigsaw and reckon we still have a bigger signing to come on board.

[Mike J]

if he helps us get into the CL or win something he'll be worth every penny

Well at least he can cross the ball!!! :D

I don't care too much about the price as long as he provides added value to the team. After paying 24m for Lescott, I never thought it would be any less than that.

If he signs before the WC starts then the England squad will have Hart, Barry, SWP and Milner involved. Lescott would have too if he hadn't been injured and Bridge I guess.
