Villa Fear They Have Over-Priced Milner

ormer Toon winger James Milner could end up staying at Aston Villa ... because the club got too greedy asking £30m for him. Martin O'Neill will be hoping he stays, and that could be the case, because Man City have started to look elsewhere after Villa rejected an opening offer of £20million from City in May and then asked £30m for him. Suddenly Villa owner Randy Lerner is getting a little concerned, because City have laughed off his proposal ... and the midlands club could be left with a player worth HALF the £30m asking price. O'Neill 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."
