Wouldn't be a transfer thread without a link to Milner.

I'd take him back.

He still comes on and occasionally starts for Liverpool FFS. Anyone who thinks someone like that can't improve us should be forced to watch a 2 minute loop of Danny Drinkwater giving the ball away for the next ten years.

I’d be delighted to have Milner back. That’s the sort of older head we need.

Are there any actual media links to him, or are we just pining?

This time last year, people were saying Milner wasn't good enough for us. I remember Stuart Pearce playing for West Ham when he was pushing 40. He came to take a corner by the Holte End and a few people booed him. 90% of the Holte End drowned them out with cheers. His thighs were fucking massive.

Absolutely agree.

There's a huge difference between 'experienced Premier League players' such as McCarthy, Hayden and other journeymen who've been talked about in previous pages and someone like Milner who's played at the top level. Having a top pro like him around would be invaluable to our younger players, and he's more than capable of contributing on the pitch still.

Having said that I don't think there's a chance of it happening, but it would be a brilliant signing.

Good question, I’m not on twitter so no idea where/how these things grow legs.

Think it was a Twitter rumour, so don't dig out your Villa top with Milner on the back just yet

No. It was a spoof site.

At some point a players legs go, nothing that training or diet can do about it.
He is 34 and will not play at this level for much longer.

I see him as similar to Barry who was still playing for Everton at a decent level when he was about 36.

It is similar to when Barry left Man. City for Everton when he was 32/33 and there were rumours he wanted to come back here but Lambert didn't want him and he was excellent generally for Everton.

Would love Milner back. Think he'd fit our midfield really well as he obviously plays a bit more deeper now but still got good energy. Also two years ago played a full season at left back.

Lampard seems to be trying to sell some of his players. Wouldn't be at all surprised if we get offered Tammy in the next few days.

Do you see them as similar players?  (Barry and Milner)  I honestly think its like comparing Andy Townsend to Ian Taylor.  Both great players but one is going to age better than the other just down to how they play.

Taylor and Townsend were both still playing in premier league at age of 35 I think.

Milner and Barry both look after themselves superbly, hardly had any major injuries in their career so generally you can last longer at top level if you've got good genes.

Lampard was still pretty good going into his mid 30s while Rooney was pretty much finished as a top level striker as soon as he hit 30.

Hendrie is probably a better example of someone who really peaked as a player at about 25 and then it was a gradual decline bar the odd wonder goal every 3 months.
