James Milner

[danperkins]

I can see why some find it uninspiring alright as we do need more quality and he shouldn't be our number 1 target.

IMO though Milner would make a great squad player. Versatile, fantastic work rate and has good distribution. Would have no problem with us getting him in, once we are in the market for other players of quality. Delph is average and should be nowhere near LFC.

[RedRum]

Apart from being English and on a free- where are the similarities?

He's 29. I think that is when we signed Joe Cole but no similarities in football terms.

I heard reports Pellegrini is very keen to keep him round as a squad player. If he is valuable to the premier league winners then I see no reason why he wouldn't be to us.

I think he's a very good player and his versatility would be very useful, especially in a free. We need some big hitters brought in too though.

[Shaggy]

I'd take him. Unfashionable and uninspiring but he's a good player and would improve us.

[Darkon]

Is a no-brainer for me. We need some experience and good stable performance in midfield and he would get us that for the smallest possible transfer fee possible.

Milner is a good player, and would bring a good attitude with him

[Tee]

We should bring Kevin Nolan home, he would fit right into our vision. Mark Noble is not a bad shout either, and if we sell Raheem for £50m we can have the pick of Scott Sinclair, Dyer or Routledge. Happy days are coming!

Would see Milner as being a good addition as a quality squad player, but would he want to swap one club for another if being a squad player was what was on offer?

A squad player at City has a very realistic chance of silverware, whereas with us that chance is much lower.


He is a very useful player who can slot easily into a number of roles and do well in them, but we would still need to be bringing in some real quality for the midfield (not to mention in attack and defence) even if we got Milner and not trying to pass Milner off as that quality signing.


Would have a similar opinion with regards to Delph. I think he is a lesser player than Milner, but still good enough to be an effective squad player.

We still squad building are we

Sadly, I agree. I didn't want him years back, nor in 2011 and even now I'm amazed how much of a contribution he makes at City, so if he's cheap, then yeah.

But the main thing is that if we only buy one player this window, we need a fecking good striker - we have a strong enough midfield.

We lost our no 1 striker from last year, our new no 1 has been out long term and thanks to bad choices/cock ups in the summer, we only have a no 3 and two no 4s available and they've been so bad we're not playing any of them!

We need a no.2 striker. That is the shopping list. Get him and then maybe look at defenders or keepers, but focus on a striker first or we'll end up like last summer and miss out, but bring in two more attacking midfielders...

I can't see us buying anyone bar Milner and possibly Defoe on loan.

Hate to say it but I think if this happens then it's a sure sign that the owners will want rid of Rodgers come the summer.

[Doc_Piptorious]

Well we are losing a number of squad player level players in Johnson, Gerrard, and Suso. We also have other squad player level players like Lucas, Allen, Borini and a few others who may be moved on in this window or the summer window. So yes I do reckon we will need some squad players along with the very obvious need for genuine first teamers.

We are not signing Defoe, Slinky, let it go.

[kubrickscube]

Decent player - but doesn't he do exactly what Henderson does- (who is younger and possibly has more potential?) Do we need that?

Well if we had it last year, we quite possibly could have won the league.

[Fierce]

If Milner is top of our wanted list then I should seriously consider giving up on supporting this club as their ambitions do not match mine. Different wavelengths. Either that or the transfer committee can **** off.

I rate Milner as much as the next guy (good but not great) and understand what he brings to the team but there's no ****ing chance he should be taking up so much head space with this ****ing committee when there's so much talent out there to be targeted.

Amazing
