James Milner's awesomeness

[Hillbilly]

Only one man can save us...

[martin o`who??]

Of every player we`ve lost over the last few years, i despise those tossers at the Etished for that.

HE'S NOT COMING BACK, LOCK THIS THREAD

[MoetVillan]

Cant we just appoint him as a player manager?

[OCD]

Am I missing something? Why has this thread become active again?

[garyfouroaks]

Would love him back as player manager

Shit went down, man.

[Des Little]

Ha ha ha. Talk about flogging a dead horse. Shut the front door with this shit!

This thread was amusing back in the day...nearly as good as "why didn't Barry take the penalty.....?"

Every time I see him play I think he gets better.  Not that it's any consolation to us of course.

“I was thinking what could have happened had I kicked on from that one season at Aston Villa where I played centrally and what could have happened if I’d carried on like that. Who knows?”

Well maybe he should've thought about that a bit more at the time.

A real shame but he got away from the club at the right time, chose the wrong move however

[Steve R]

Another season under Houllier and McAllister would have done him no harm at all. It may have spared us McLeish too and actually established a career for him as central midfielder in the national squad.

He really does articulate the problems of big moves to monied teams. He seems to be saying that not only is it hard to stake a claim, the dice are actually stacked against 'non exotic' signings.

However he got there, I am convinced Delph made the right decision.

Delph has made the right decision, but I'm convinced that with another season under his belt at Villa at the end of which he should be a well established England regular and will have played at the Euros he will leave. With that extra experience he will be virtually guaranteed a starting position wherever he goes, Milner left too early to deserve that at one of the bigger clubs.
