James Milner

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Didn’t start any of our cup finals or big games.

Hard working but Average player. Always has been always will be.

 

[Easy]

Such comments:

Left City to win trophies, that his pool team is the best team he's played for, complained about playing time at city and that he wasn't getting played in midfield enough.

Bitter comments that were not needed. He won a lot with us, was paid and treated well. Left on a free with a nice signing on bonus. Then proceeds to make such comments. Had he not been so better he would not have been booed.

Played most of his liverpool career at LB, winning zero trophies, losing finals.

He is only playing in midfield because of injuries.

Genuine question. I’m really curious. I can’t personally remember any quote, in the media or elsewhere, where he said that he was thinking of re-signing. If you point me in the direction of any kind of source where he led us up the garden path like this, then fine, I agree with you. But I have no specific memory of it.

As for the celebrating in front of former fans when you score (not your point, I understand that, but the point of some other posts on here) I personally hope that Raheem celebrates like fuck when he finally scores against the dippers (which he will do, and I sincerely hope it’s at Anfield).

He went to the press to complain about not getting minutes.

We subsequently give him more minutes.

Realising that his excuse doesn't hold water, he then changes his tune to "I'm not being played in my favoured position"...

If he conducted himself like Emre Can has in running down his contract I'm sure most City fans would have no qualms. But it's the sheer hypocrisy of his conduct that grates, lying to manufacture a narrative to join Liverpool, when the same reasons (he's played largely at left back for most of this season) illicit no complaints from him now.

YNWA James! (You'll Never Win Anything)

Oh come on. Milner is a professional footballer i.e he plays for money. Almost certainly he is still a Leeds fan but wherever he has gone he has given 100%. He has not bad mouthed us at all and basically just said the standard stuff when players sign for another club. What are you supposed to say when you get asked "are you glad to be at Liverpool?" "what does Liverpool mean to you" etc etc.

Have you read this thread ?

He moaned about lack of plying time in his last season with us,

He must of been board, he thought he wood win more with the Bindipper's, he really is a plank.

As soon as he retires he will be forgotten. He has no stand out moments in his career. No match defining moments, no personality or character save for being known as boring. He will not be remembered fondly by any of the team's fans he played for. A bang average player who you hardly remember.

My first thoughts when I read his post.

His best game was at home to Sheffield Wednesday in the Cup. Sums him up really.

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

Does he really justify a thread ?

 

[big phil]

It’s all worked out well. If he’d signed that extension we’d still be paying him a bloody fortune and he wouldn’t get near the first team.

Even if you want to ignore everything else, mocking Yaya's cup celebrations when he scored against us was a step too far.

The guy is a career prick who acts like a nice bloke in front of cameras to cultivate an image.

The funny thing is, he didn't back himself to win a spot in our team. He didn't believe in himself.

Contrast him with Delph, Milner easily could have been a part of this had he backed himself. Now he's sat there counting someone else's history at Anfield.

That's cats for you.

Ha, One too many beers last night I think.

 

[yeseye]

The way i look at it is, We gave the scousers 40 odd million + this **** and we received Sterling .
Beautiful.

 

[paulchapo]

His contract must soon be up there I think?

 

[RightTurnClyde]

The whole contract thing didn't really piss me off that much. Neither did some of his bitter comments he gave to the press. It was the applause and smiley he sent out when our bus was attacked that did it for me. Enjoy your runners up medals, James.

His contract must soon be up there I think?

His current deal is due to expire at the end of next season, however, it now appears the 32-year-old could remain at Anfield until 2020.

According to Anfield Edition, Kop boss Jurgen Klopp sees Milner as a key member of his squad and is keen to reward the player with a one-year extension to his existing contract.

The report also states that Liverpool value the former England international’s leadership skills and experience.

Milner, who earns a reported £120,000-a-week at Anfield, has proved to be an effective player for Klopp, having featured in 41 of the Reds’ 49 games so far this term.
