Milner will give his all - O'Neill

28 July 2010 08:30
Aston Villa midfielder James Milner could end up staying at the club, manager Martin O'Neill has suggested. England international Milner has been chased all summer by Manchester City. But big-spending City have yet to agree a fee for Milner and O'Neill is waiting to see if they make a new bid that Villa deem as suitable. Villa rejected an opening offer of £20million from City in May and O'Neill is confident that Milner will continue to give his all for the club if he is still at Villa Park when the transfer window closes next month. O'Neill, speaking after his side's 2-1 friendly win at Walsall on Tuesday night said: "There is no question that James Milner will continue to give his best if the deal doesn't go through." He added: "I think the owner puts a price on players. Of course, he will have an idea on the price. Negotiations are being conducted by the Villa chief executive and the owner and I will be guided by them."
