James Milner

Don't think it's fair to say that about Milner. He gave up a ton of money at City because he wanted to play most of the time and that is what Liverpool could offer him. So glad he didn't score against us though. Will always like Milner as he is a very honest player -- by that I mean, he doesn't flop all over the place writhing in agony like Costa each time someone on the other team glances at him, He may not have the flair or skills of Kun or David Silva, but he is a grafter who will run until he drops for the team he plays for. I certainly appreciated his time at City and was sorry to see him go.
He played a lot for us, I dont accept that he left because he wasnt getting games because he did. What he wanted was to play in a position where we had far better players than him, and he got a cob on about it. So he went to Liverpool to play in that position, and it turned out he wasnt good enough in that position no matter what club he played for. And actually ended up at Wembley as a left back
 
He'll be more bothered about the continuing low interest rate than losing a cup final. For all the slagging off Sterling gets for being a mercenary, he's no James "show me the money" Milner.

Which he more than made up with his signing on fee, reputed to be around £5M. I've no issue with players seeing out their contract, but I have a huge problem with liars, and Milner is a liar. He deliberately run down his contract in order to get a massive signing on fee at Liverpool. It had nothing to do with playing time.

He didn't give up any money, he made millions in his signing on fee.

Gave up a ton of money? I thought he ran his contract down so he could pocket a big fat signing on fee?
 
Whatever the case may have been in his contract with the dippers, we're not cunts and we won't go on about it.
But to be fair in a season where effort seems to have been lacking and well perhaps injuries have taken their toll, the iron man that is Jimmy would have come in and done a job and perhaps been useful!... Just obviously not in CM ;)
