I notice he has been second favourite to be our next manager on oddschecker for the last couple of days and William Hill have his price as low as 7/2

David O'Leary has revealed his determination to sign James Milner on a permanent basis from Newcastle United. The on-loan winger was with O'Leary as a youngster with Leeds United and has impressed the Villa boss with his all-round play this season. Although Villa were unable to afford any recruits during January's transfer window, O'Leary is hopeful that a deal can be struck with Newcastle to sign Milner in the summer. "I think he'll just get better and better," he told the League Managers' Association's official website. "I really, really hope for the Villa fans, that we can keep him at Aston Villa because I think he would be tremendous for us to have." O'Leary does not think Milner will get a chance for England under Sven Goran Eriksson, but predicts a bright future for the Horsforth-born midfielder. "I can't see it with the England manager now," he reasoned. "It depends on who's the next England manager, what he'll think of James and what he wants there. "James's problem is he's up against the England captain on that right side. "James is a player I think coaches will appreciate. "He's made for The Premiership, in my opinion. "He's got a great engine, can get and up and down the field, has great willingness to work and is fantastic for what The Premiership is about."

Should i expect e-mails, texts and voicemails again tonight telling me that Pud has lost my ticket details "again" and does not know where he is sitting?

According to .co.uk it is..

Working fine here, though i`m sure someone over on NO was complaining of the same thing.

hes funny, I like him, can we keep him?? awww go on, I'll clean up when he shits and everything....go onnnnnn pleeeeeeeaaase 98174[/snapback] I doubt he`ll want to stay, this place is too snobby, too perpetual..

Not really saying much though is it? 97883[/snapback] That was Hughsie's replacement... 98042[/snapback] Being a centre half i would have thought he was actually OBs replacement..

Still waiting...

Poor form to have swear words in thread titles like. And Peasepud, is that the lass from Teachers? She's rank. 98020[/snapback] Quality! I dont think it is like is it? 98021[/snapback] It is..

Over 4 weeks to get Owen fit..

Easy, easy, easy..

Sooperfans only tbh...

So true! The Scots are far outnumbered by the foreigners..

So what time can we expect this announcement?

Well done to the young Scot..

If anyone fancies coming out earlier let us know

Transfer wise or in his helicopter? 97608[/snapback] Well he will be going to Germany if fit But no i do not think he will leave the club in the next transfer window.

I don't think he will be going anywhere this summer.

Same as people want Ramage over Carr 97591[/snapback] Because Carr is utter shite? 97596[/snapback] I'd rather have Carr at right back than Ramage anyday of the week 97599[/snapback] That's fair enough, but what you're implying isn't true. I would prefer Ramage because I think Carr is shite, not because he's not a local lad. 97601[/snapback] I also think Carr is shite. I would rather have Zico Hughes at full back even though i am in agreement with many on here that he is average.

Just back from the game?

Hes been shite in the SPL. The supporters prefer to see young Steven Smith play than Olivier.

Agreed! They'll be wanting to get him done for slander next. 97579[/snapback] They do
