Aston Villa can't afford Scott Parker says David Sullivan
Jul 22 2010 by Brian Dick, Birmingham Mail
LONG time nemesis David Sullivan has poured scorn on Villa’s attempts to sign Scott Parker
The West Ham supremo always delighted in goading Villa when he was in charge at Blues.
And Sullivan has clearly lost none of his flair for mischief having yesterday dismissed Villa’s ability to prise the midfielder away from Upton Park.
“Nothing has changed,” Sullivan insisted. “Aston Villa will not have enough money to tempt us to sell Scott Parker. He really is not for sale.”
Sullivan’s sentiments are confirmation of his entrenched position over the three-cap England international.
Almost as soon as last season finished the Hammers’ co-owner declared everyone in the first team squad was up for sale. Everyone, that is, except Parker.
Nevertheless with uncertainty surrounding the future of James Milner, Villa are constantly linked with the 29-year-old – who would readily fill the central position to which Milner adapted so well las season.
