I am pleased with LFC being interested in Milner. He is a good strong intelligent player who brings two things with him that's missing from our team. BALLS! He just wants to play all the time, gives 105% in training, has great leadership skilss, but most of all he is a winner. Will he fit into our team? absolutely ! He could be the key we have been missing. He will rough up opposing midfielders with his hard tackles, he's not pretty at times, but he is very determined.
for me he is a throwback to the old jimmy case/ souness type of midfielder, a dream to manage and a no nonsense player who leads from the front.
If rumours are to be believed, if he decides to join us, i for one think it is a match made in heaven

James milner is a very good player. Obviously he is having lot of competition at MC reducing his play time.
He is a very good versatile mid-fielder who can play at any position and will be valuable like sturridge, if doesn't get injured.

Hope it's true.
If we keep Sterling, then potential we've got most of the England front line.
As much as I don't care for England, that's a strong enough team in anyone's book.
Well be a much harder team to beat with proven signings of this calibre.
Sterling, Sturridge, Llanasa, Milnler, Henderson, Clyne. all hard working.
Get a number one striker and we'll be laughing. Sturridge will be an even better player with the emphasis taken off him.

The guy is the fittest player there at man city . And the pressing game will benefit us aswell . Plus he assists a lot and versatile . Very good move
02 Jun 2015 20:18:25
well then,why has he been warming the bench for half the season at city,its not like the rest of the team have been pulling up tree,s,is he even a first pick for england theses days? and england ar,nt any great shakes either,i would regard milner as a very good utility player that's starting to get on a bit and that's all

Totally agree Tel, and other above.
This has echoes of Gary Mac who contributed so much to Stevie's development.
Hopefully Milner can do the same with the likes of Hendo, Rossiter, Can, Bannagan and others.

Milner is average and the only reason Liverpool are interested is because he is free (so to speak).
Liverpool seem to be going back to buying mediocrity and that will mean a mediocrity finish next season.

Because England are an excellent national team? Bunch of bottlers, I wonder whsere I've heard that before?

Better to get a mediocre player for free (so to speak) than spend £60 million on one. Get your own house in order Sydney.

Not the point Lerchy.
The point is that we're bringing in a player who has an idea of how a majority of his team mates play.
I suspect that it's also a massive pull towards the team knowing that manybof his team mates play for an opposition side just thirty five miles up the road.
No relocation, decent wages and a side in which he knows many of the players.
That's my point lad.

What colours the sky on your planet Davey?

You would love to be able to blow £60m on a player Irish. What is Milner? A winger? No too slow and old? Central midfielder? No. Where would he play? Another Joe Cole signing, pointless IMHO. Listen Irish, I am not on here trying to banter, it's an honest opinion. I don't see what he offers you. He will not do your wage bill any favours and I cannot see how he improves your first XI. Where will he play?
02 Jun 2015 23:16:48
With Rodgers in charge he'll probably play in goal Sydney!! Lol
03 Jun 2015 00:20:32
Which is the reason I don't wasn't him. He will not give us the quality we need to get over the proverbial hump. I just don't feel good about it. Hope he proves me wrong

Milner is a wage drain, an unnecessary acquisition and, as has been mentioned, only being signed because he is free. We supposedly have a number of talented youth players at the club - if we keep buying and playing aging players when will those academy prospects be given a chance? We may as well close the academy as we don't really use it unless forced through injuries, it's mind numbing.
