Player thread: James Milner (2014/15)

[NQCitizen]

Milner is only going to get a downwards move from here.

I don't totally understand why he's leaving, he's had loads of gametime this season.

Why swap that to play every week for a midtable side?

The man is a modern footballer and agent rolled into one.

 

[mrtwiceaseason]

If he did stay where exactly would he play?
If the rumoured signings come off
Pogba_central
De buyrrne _wide

Sterling _wide
Firmino _creative
Then add in lopes
There is no talk of fern fern and navas Silva moving
That's a nine man midfield pool
This also assumes nasri and yaya can be shifted

We are only prepared to give him a 3 year deal, he wants 4 years, that's it.

Nothing to do with lack of games or preferred positions, he wants the security of a long contract before he grabs one last payday in LA/China/Quatar and we, quite rightly are not being bent over by a hard working but limited squad player.

So very much this^^^^.

You missed out mercenary !

Oh look, he can play a bit.

 

[BigOscar]

Outstanding today, could easily have had 3 or 4 assists if it wasn't for poor finishing from others and he took his goal brilliantly. Probably my MOTM. Just a shame that he is so inconsistent, as these games are few and far between

 

[HenryNacho]

Thought he was the best player today. Shame he will be leaving us, he is a very useful player. I wonder if he would have stayed if he got more starts.

 

[Sergi0 Na5r1]

100% work rate. Great goal.

 

[unexpected item]

The lad did fantastic today, but one thing he won't find at Liverpool are teammates with the skill of Silva, Kun and Yaya to play those delicious one-twos and through balls. He'll soon get frustrated with poor passing and mis-controlled balls.

 

[Kennedy_probably_has]

Superb again today, his link up play with Silva is a delight. Said last season to group of mates he is onthesame wavelength as Dave and was laughed at but I stand by it!
