He's a slightly inferior Park Ji-Sung, who cost ten times as much. Has an annoying tendency to play well against us, mind.
Not sure why this is brought up in the transfer forum (there are some Milner threads in the General FF)... but I can't pass up an opportunity to criticise James Milner... at his best, he is a very average footballer... in an England shirt, he's generally a waste of a position.
Also, Milner's a good crosser of the ball? Since when? I don't think I've ever seen James Milner actually aim a cross at anyone in the box... he usually just aimlessly throws a ball in with the hope that someone might get on the end of it.
He is grossly under appreciated. He is a very decent player.

Would be great to see this line-up next season IMO. The foundation of the team british as well.
Hindsight and everything.....
I'd have stopped that sentence after England.
Thought someone might have made a transfer bid for him for a moment
