.A. said:I think he's waiting for clarity on Ol' Wrinkles being dismissed in the summer before re-signing. Navas has started more league games than him this season, an insult which would be enough to make any player consider his options.
Despite having almost 400 more minutes on the field, Navas has 7 assists and no goals compared to Milner's 3 goals and 6 assists. That lack of meritocracy will be a key element if we end up losing Jimmy for nothing this summer.
I thought that Milner wanted to play in the middle more, so I do not think the comparison is fair. I would prefer to see him play more than Navas, but I am not sure if he would be happy with that role.

We could take something off that 16m as Ireland didn't end up doing a Bridge.

Past experience tells me if a player not signed this late
into his final year it means there off to
pastors new. which in this case is a shame.

People still think he'll stay - i'd be surprised. I think we all pretty much accept he's on his way. Good luck to him if he goes abroad and - well, fuck him if he goes to one of our rivals.

I'll be a bit pissed off if he does go.

So James Milner is off in the Summer? Is that such a bad thing?
You want to know why we have been signing average players like Fernando and Navas lately. It's because most City fans worship mediocre players like Milner because he runs about a lot. City fans set the bar so low they would probably rather have Milner at the club then Messi. People always say he's so underrated when it's actually the complete opposite. He is so average that when he finally has an above average game people go over board with the praise because they know they won't have a chance to heap lots of praise on him for a long time. Let's forget about all of the other games when he does fuck all, they are not important. Whereas a player like Navas who is probably on the same level as Milner, has just as much work rate if not more will get slagged off for every bad game he has and when he has a good game like Chelsea away or Leicester at home people just completely ignore it. Everyone always says how versatile he is and he can play so many positions, well that is just BS because when he played up front he missed chance after chance and whenever he has played in central midfield he has been awful. And for people who say he is scoring goals now, he has 2 goals in his last 52 league appearances, whoop-de-fucking-doo. Add to the fact that he will be 30 next season which is when players are usually in decline. And add to the fact that he supposedly wants 120k per week when we are are trying to reduce the wagebill in the FFP era. And if his demands are that he wants to be guaranteed a starting role in a team that includes players like Aguero, Fernandinho, Silva, Yaya, Nasri and a team that will in all likely hood be massively reinforcing their squad in the summer then I would say he needs to have a reality check and realise that he is an average player with limited skill who doesn't score many goals and who will soon be past his best.
City fans need to ask themselves if Milner leaving is really such a bad thing or do we maybe need to set the bar a bit higher than players who "put a shift in" and "fill the English quota" and start investing in world class talent which will actually take us to the next level (Champions League glory) and stop crying over the departure of James fucking Milner of all people.

I'm kinda glad he's moving on as it forces change and a refresh
