I think I covered his rubbish excuses for leaving my in my reply below on another thread ages ago, it was his 2nd or 3rd excuse playing in his favoured position, thought it was hilarious that they had him playing in even worse positions.
I had no issues me with him leaving it was more the way he left then the sly digs that followed shortly after, also charging the reason for his departure every other month it's almost skewed the truth for most.

Without all that I'd thoroughly respect Milner a lot more he always seemed like a model pro, he lacked class when leaving though but the funny thing is I think Pep would've got the best out of him.
Milner could've had the best spell of his career under Pep I reckon, as Pep can't get enough of great all round grafters like Milner who can pass the ball well.
