Hi everyone. I tend to read more than post, but whilst looking at some of the players we're linked with (which seem to be taken from thin air) I thought about James Milner. Think he's 38/39, but still doing it in the Prem. Bit of an old romantic in me thinks it would be nice to see him come back, but from a playing perspective, he'd bring some much needed Premier League experience to the squad, and be a brilliant role model for the others. Looks like his contract has ended at Brighton. Wondered what others thought.
I don’t think there would be a host of clubs getting interested in James Milner at this stage of his career, especially not in the P.L. I think we would be first in the queue if similar financial packages were offered by clubs competing for his signature, but something about the lad tells me playing games would be first and foremost for him over money. That’s only my gut feeling cos I don’t know him personally. I don’t think the 49er’s do sentiment, so as a pure business decision it’s what is left of James Milner at nearly 40 ? For him as a Leeds lad and for the fans it would be a fairytale ending to an incredible career, and the sentimentalist in me would love it to happen.
