PrintIt appears as though a move for James Milner may be imminent based on Martin O'Neill confirming that the Aston Villa midfielder wanted to leave the club, and would be allowed to do so if their valuation is met:
‘There is a question mark over James Milner,' said O'Neill. 'I had a conversation with James before the World Cup and he intimated that he would like to go at that time.'Manchester City have made an offer for the player but certainly there is a difference in valuation.
‘But I’m sure things will get resolved. James is due back next week after an extended stay after the World Cup....and I imagine things will get resolved one way or the other in the very foreseeable future.’
Varying reports of between £25-30 million have been suggested, and you imagine this would be the region that would have to offered - although throwing in one (or more) of the likes of Richards/Onouha/Ireland should reduce that down to the £20-25 million mark.

Why do you want him so bad?
He is a good player and all, but really… What does he offer you that you don’t have already, and worth that kind of cash?
Not worth it
£25-30 is a very high price for such a player. Not to mention paying that much money enables a small club like Aston villa to strengthen their squad with a few more players which is not good for Mancity. Aston Villa is already short of Cash, has a small squad that is not suitable for the number of games in EPL. Leave Milner there, this will do them a lot more damage.
Don't want him
We have much better players already and I don’t like his game all that much. And I will never forget how Steve Cherundolo schooled him so badly that Capello admitted he was forced to take him out of the match in SA. We also should have no business giving Villa money they can use. This deal is a no, please
