Said on here weeks ago that if I was him Id want out. Been chronically underused by us & wrongly parked wide when hes a cent midf by trade, which is where he excelled at Villa.
Hes had Vieira preferred to him in Cent midf, Garcia preferred over him & even Rodwell at times. His omission at Anfield plain daft, & when he came on he changed the game but it encapaulated his city career - played well, just not often enough.
Hes got all the medals now but at 28 he will just want to play & do so in cent midf. It wont be about money at all, just about opportunities. Hes been omitted from 2 FA Cup Finals, a Cap One Final and 2 title deciders. He played the Sund, WBA, Palace, Everton & Villa games but again was left out vs West Ham.
Will be gutted to see him go but its sadly understandable.

This is the link to the article http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/ ... er-3557218? Personally think losing Milner will be a big loss for us. Not many of his ilk about! Can only hope this is old news as far as the club are concerned and a replacement is already in place.... If this is all true of course,

that's why I said hopefully it's old news for the club and therefore something they've know about for a while rather than them finding out at the same time us fans do. Assuming they've known for a while there may well be a replacement lined up. Hope Milner would be decent enough to not just drop it on the club.Sue Perb wrote: Not old news sadly, it's today's BAD news!

And we all know that he's been like the proverbial rabbit in the headlights when started at CM.
At Villa, he was surrounded by inferior players, and his idea of playing CM was running through the middle, with the ball at his feet.
That's not what the CM position is about.
Even if he doesn't sign a new contract, I hope we run down his contract to see us over this FFP hump.
I wouldn't like him to leave, he's been a great pro., but this is not the time for our fringe players to jump ship.
