ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC"

[catcherintherye]

I rate Milner, but I don't £130k a week rate him! They're not actually paying him that are they?

Possibly more, City offered him 160k per week. They obviously want him to be the new Gerrard. He's a good tidy player Milner, and underated. He's the sort of player the Fergusan used to sign for Manchester United and make very effective. He's consistent, adaptable and will always give you 7 out of 10. As others have said, he's a great squad player in a team of superstars where he can tick things over.
I am very sceptical whether he can take the limelight himself though. I think they are in for a big disappointment if he is their "marquee signing" and can see them turning on him if things start badly.

you mean he's like a Cleverley, who's four years younger and on a third of the wages?

I get the impression that they've had their pants pulled down again, lol

Thank you to all posters who keep me updated on the utterances of Aldo. He's comedy gold, that bloke

I like Milner. Typical stereotypes: hardworking, graft, will play anywhere. But they have lantern-jaw Henderson for that. He's not the person with the guile, creativity or the guts to fill the limelight. And Rodgers will probably play him as right wing back anyway.

Signing Adam Bogdan on a free from Bolton lol

One of the best Hungarian keepers in Lancashire. Good signing for them

He did play very well against them in the FA Cup games this season.

Essentially yes. Fergusan to his credit made a career our of making these players part of trophy winning teams. Phil Neville, John O'Shea, Darren Fletcher, the Da Silva twins etc. Having reliable and hard working players in his team to help compensate for the world class talents. Once you remove them from his tutelage and world class players around them they do tend to struggle a bit though. I think Milner might too.

He's a decent addition as a backup tbh. But I thought they wanted rid of the Belgian flapper

Wouldn't surprise me at all to see Begovic arrive there.

Be interesting to see him without a team set up to out grock the opposition

Joe Cole was very much finished when he signed for them.

Milner has a few years left IMO.
