He can fill in at CM, but he's miles behind Yaya, Fernandinho and (as people will soon see) Fernando as a central midfielder. And it's not just Mancini and Pellegrini who have agreed with that, but Capello and Hodgson who also opted to use him as a winger. I think Milner played well on the left wing last season when stationed there as well as being his usual reliable self on the right, but playing central midfield for City and playing central midfield for Villa are two different things and I doubt Arsenal or Liverpool would guarantee him a starting spot there. City should make him stay until the end of his deal unless someone makes a huge offer (like we did to get Nasri and United did to get Van Persie).

If there isn't a new deal on the table and he wants more game time then it is better to cash in now. Especially if we have a budget to juggle with. Although It would be a dubious career choice if it is either Liverpool or Arsenal even if both teams are in the Champions League.

Milner would be better off going to Everton.
LoveCity said:Jamie Jackson says Nasri will see an improvement on his "wages of around £170,000 per week". It strikes me as strange how none of these guys acknowledge Soriano's lower basic system - unless it's not actually being implemented as much as we think.

Nasri was signed before the new regime came in though, it would have to be a raise for an extension, he wouldn't re-up for 5 more seasons on 30% less money, like he would probably earn if he joined us this summer?
