Moneybags Manchester City are today (Friday) scouting the fringe midfielders of Aston Villa for a replacement for incoming Aston Villa midfielder James Milner.In keeping with newly formed tradition, Billionaire owner Sheikh Mansour has demanded that his club purchase Aston Villa's most prominent midfielder, anvil-jawed midfielder James Milner, in a carbon copy of last summers transfer that saw Gareth Barry make the famous journey up the M6, or the M1 if there was a reason for congestion on the M6.
In the latest revelations, it has emerged that Mansour is attempting to speed up next years transfer. "Mansour called Martin (O'Neill) and asked for a favour. He politely asked for next years next big thing to save a bit of time. He'll need someone to replace James Milner, because he obviously won't be any better than Gareth Barry, who in turn was no better than anyone else we had. But we need bodies through the door" a close source told Hoodies For Goalposts.
City boss Roberto Mancini added "Villa suggested we take a look at Nigel Reo-Coker, but that's obviously some kind of wind up. We'll probably go for Ashley Young or Fabian Delph, but it needs to happen quickly. The start of the seasons only a few weeks away and we're down to around 35 midfielders on the books. Where will the bloody competition come from?"
