Come home Jimmy!

[Nirog72]

Paul Scholes replacement at Old Trafford.

[eamonn]

Never go back
Only one Villa player has done that and it worked

Would that be Gordon Cowans?

Steve Staunton came back and that definitely didn't work

He wasn't that bad on his return was he? I remember he came back in late 2000, just after we'd had the ''£'' protest signs and just before John Paul Angel's arrival.
Actually, just looking at Wiki, he played 73 matches for us in his second spell and left in the summer of '03 (when his Rep of Ireland mucker Dolly O'Dreary had just taken over). I'm a bit surprised he was here that long and played that much second-time round as I don't recall much of his performances.

Here you go

[PaulTheVillan]

It's a very nice thought. We can but hope.
If we'd got Champions League football I could see it happening but we dont and he pretty much left in the hope of better things. Even if he leaves Man City he'll have a pick of other top clubs I think.

But, if you dont ask, you dont get.
He certainly knows he's loved here and that might amount to... something.

Is this a Boyzone song?

No, Cannibal Corpse.

If I had to use a cannibal corpse song to describe Milner leaving I'd use gutted

if I had to use a song to describe him coming back i'd use Wretched spawn.

Fuck him

I like this.

Agree Eamonn he wasn't a disaster by any means but for me nowhere near the player he was first time round.  Well worth the transfer fee though

If James Milner came back he could move straight back into his old house, its been empty ever since three large removal vans arrived a couple of days after his move to Man City was finalised.Theres still a set of half size goalposts in the garden too.
He lived about 20 doors down the road from me. But before you all think I'm on millionaires row, that was 19 doors of 3 bed semis then 1/2 mile out into the country to his rather larger pad.

bit like my old house. I used to live 2 doors down from the Duke of Westminster, well I was the last house on a small development, then there was on cottage on his land then 4 miles of estate wall, then his place

The Milner deal with the totally forgettable Ireland supposedly coming the other way
has been a total disaster for both clubs and possibly both players, although I dare say
they are probably a few £££££ better off-

The possibility of James was mentioned couple of weeks back on away trip to Everton
and it was suggested we could get him on loan ?

Highly likely Citeh will be splashing out and Jimmy will be surplus to requirements ......
I wish he had stayed but that's history now -

[supertom]

No chance he'll be back. Shame,  because he'd be ideal for us. I think we suit him and vice versa. It's not gone well at City, but he'll have plenty of takers. I think Utd would love to have him. Depends if they'd want to deal with City. Liverpool may also bid for him. He may find that City keep him and use him. It might depend on a new manager. If Jose joined City, I think Milner is a player he'd like a lot, and probably in CM where Jimmy could shine.
I think he'd do well at Arsenal, but only if Arsene spent some money.

[ROBBO]

We have been critical of the defence this season but it's no coincidence that we were solid when Milner played as an extra defender.

[Villa'Zawg]

Ugh..dunno what's worse. The clamour for Lee Evan's son to come back or quoting an Embrace song in full.

Where's your sense of romance?

[*shellac*]

Not as good as that irritating anthemic Sit Down.

City boss Roberto Mancini wants to break the bank to land Tottenham star Gareth Bale in a deal worth £30m, plus the club's England midfielder James Milner.

He might be available after all...

I read it too this morning. I know it's pathetic and all dreamy to think but it would be great to get him back. I'm sure spuds would prefer the money too if we were to buy milner back from city.
