On his way for a medical at City.
It just seems as if Man City have more money than is good for them? I was a huge fan of Stephen Ireland under Mark Hughes and it now seems he will be used as a pawn in order to lure James Milner to City. He will be the Eastland side’s 6th big money signing of the Summer at £24m, with Yaya Tourés’ wages alone exceeding £190 ooo per week! The protracted deal between City and Aston Villa has eventually been agreed.Villa will receive £16m plus the £8m-rated midfielder Ireland.
Ireland chats to Vincent Company during his departure from the Eastlands outfit.
Seeing as though I sway toward the Red side of Manchester, I hope that all this spending will not amount to much as they already are looking to have problems with their 4-3-3 formation. Why on earth are they playing with 3 defensive midfielders in the form of Touré, De Jong and Gareth Barry?
Milner has played his last game in the claret and blue of Aston Villa.
But I’ll leave that up to Roberto Mancini and I must admit I am happy United are looking in the right places for youth, where we get some value out of purchases and don’t just fork out large sums for big names…
Alex Ferguson's youth policy screams success.
