He's a professional athlete who's aged 33.

Not 53

33 isn’t that old, he’ll probably get more muscular through his 30s. It’s the engine room that suffers past 28-29

We'll miss him when he's gone. Wasn't such a popular signing as I recall, but just quietly got on with being impressive.

EDIT: Couldn't resist checking. Very entertaining!

This just makes me wonder how old the person who posted the tweet is.

15...?

As if it is inconceivable that a 33 year old could be in that sort of shape.

from January 2015...

Our squad hasn't gotten cheaper, we have simply bought poorly. I don't see where to blame to FSG comes from.

milner doesnt make me say wow, but if if you look at his effort when he comes onto the pitch you can see how he changes a game.
you kind of reluctantly come to realise that a team of milners would be hard working selfless dull ****s who will not hide and be ready to give their all.
less flash but genuine graft. yorkshire born, yorkshire bred, etc.

does he just look good because he is surrounded by mostly world class team mates though

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..........

I can't stand James Milner...... He is ****ing garbage.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo................!!! !!

It's a sign off how far we have fallen in our transfer ambitions that I see Milner as a good signing.

There are posts in here with me ripping him as a potential signing back in his Villa days.

Totally uninspiring but a solid addition.

The worry here is that Milner is one of our Marquee signings this summer. Signing Milner is the transfer equivalent of buying socks, they maybe essential, they can be reliable (except for the odd hole). They are definitely not exciting.

. to be fair, there weren't very many complementary posts until his stint at left back for us. The consistently wonderful dww called it mind.

Aye...

It's not much the tweet being posted, it's just that me phone buzzes with notifications from a couple of clickbait articles about how 'LFC Fans React with Astonishment Over Milner Pics from the US'

So here's me expecting some nightclub pics with Milner balls deep in some hooker, and instead its training ground pics of an, understandably, extremely fit footballer who takes his training very seriously in the twilight of his playing career but still a young man in the grand scheme of life.

And we're supposed to drop our **** over some workout pics. Lord knows what the source will think when he sees sections of the general public at a variety of ages younger and older who take their fitness just as seriously as Jimmy.

I wasn't going to do it dude. You weren't the only one though, not by a long stretch!

The vast majority of people who aren't idiots thought he was a decent signing tbf

Earlier post quoted below - click the arrows to see some of the many examples of people who thought it was a good move for us

Not everyone was down on his signing by the time it actually came though - see above!

There were some corkers in there though. Favourite being an unnamed poster saying they would have to think about supporting another team

Would love to know who the 'supporting another team' **** was

[Liverpool]

Find one post of mine slagging Milner, Henderson, AOC.

Ignore the ones were I say Carroll is boss and Suarez is **** though.

[Tatterdemalion]

I hadn't quite realised for just how long we were linked to him. Around 4 years. He's like the English Pablo Aimar who actually did sign.
