Is Milner available on loan, or rumoured to be?

The Citeh fans at work, have speculated that he could be available. Their preferred to on the right is now Navas, and Nasri. He won't get a game in the middle behind Fernandinho and Toure. Gets you thinking.

Maybe Pellegrini is bright enough to realise that he's a great central midfielder, not a mediocre winger. They seem very keen to send Barry to Everton.

That would leave the two first-choice, plus the perma-injured Rodwell and Garcia who they seem to think is a back-up central defender.

I'd expect Milner to be to the go-to central midfielder if either Fernandinho or Toure don't play.

You would think. Though the citeh fans at work don't.

I think we're the only fans in the country who know how good he is.

Milner on loan and on the right side of our three man midfield would be good  (giving us a midfield trio of Delph, Westwood, Milner) , but I just can't see it happening.  Also, I'm not really keen on the idea of us giving Manchester City players some game time.

I would take Milner like a shot, he can play that hole behind benteke and will score his fair share IMO. Great team player, but adds a little more than kea/sylla/nzog who play in that role.

You'd think someone else would be able to work out where to play him.

The fact so many good managers keep him in their team fro improtant games show he is admired. I just think in the advanced midfield role, he could be similar to Lampard

Some french tweeterer has said Boubedouz fella has been left out of their squad this weekend for some reason. Maybe we are still after him. Still being linked with Ba from Porto on loan too. Interesting times ahead I am sure.

What time do the lights go out for Big Jim on Monday?
