a clever **** though ,ran his contract down and signed a £33m over 5 years with the Dippers , he doesnt use an agent so all the money in his own sky rocket , but no matter how much money he has he will always be a bench warmer and a boring twat.
I just can't bring myself to hate him. We paid £26 million for him, with Ireland going the other way as part of the deal. We got 5 solid years out of him. He always gave his all, totally dependable, very versatile and a bit of quality about him as well. He made contributions with goals and assists, plus he was not one bit of bother in all the time he was with us.
He ran his contract down and made himself a fair few quid with his free transfer to Liverpool. He has fulfilled exactly the same role at Liverpool as he did at City. He ha not good been enough to nail down a central midfield role with either club, but he has been good enough to always do a decent job in any position. Players like that are so important. Miler has always been a 7 out 10 kind of player. But that has been every week and in every position.
He's gone to Liverpool, made himself a lot more money, won another league and the Champions League. He is not a City fan. From a career point of view, he made the right decision. Hes doing exactly the same job, for a lot more money and won the one trophy missing from his CV.
I know he has said some things, but it is all fluff for the media. Kyle Walker said some silly things about us, before we signed him, we all love him now. So, I am not going to be too critical of Milner.
He was a very good player for us and never let us down on the pitch. He was worth every penny we paid for him. For those reasons I just can't hate him.
