Liverpool are reportedly interested in Manchester City ace James Milner.

Rumours have emerged that the 25-year-old midfielder is unsettled at Eastlands.

It is understood that Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish is keeping tabs on the situation with a view to making a possible bid for the England international.

Milner arrived at Eastlands last August and was a first-team regular for boss Roberto Mancini during his first few months.

However, since then he has found himself often starting from the bench, a situation which is believed to have frustrated the former Aston Villa ace.

Dalglish is keen on Milner’s versatility as he can play in central midfield and on the left flank.

No - no and thrice no! Too slow and offers nothing that we haven't already got in our armoury.

No, the only Man City player I want to see us getting is Johnson and there's fat bloody chance of that.

No Yaya Toure or Kompany?

Regarding Milner, I'd pass.

Another slow news day for the rags. Maybe ''Mac Red'' should start trawling the Sunday league supplement's at this rate for some more ''NEWS''

DOBBS83 is also right on his side ,after very good season with villa and awarded as young player of the year ,lots of people wants to sign him....

Class player if used correctly.

Agree, think he has real quality to him. Would be curious of the price and what are his wages?

No.

The link says all you need to know. The articles coming from that site over the past few weeks have all been sh*te.

Shock horror another good player linked to us who the LFC reds crew dont want oh the shock.

Whats with the negativity? Some of his performances in his final year at Villa were amazing and he dragged that team to victory by the scruff of the neck all by himself. He's not been given much of a chance there but I've no doubt he is better than many of the options we've already got and would be a great success here.

Absolutely no chance he'll be coming though

No - no and thrice no! Too slow and offers nothing that we haven't already got in our armoury.

This.....!!!

I would love to see Kenny introduce young Tony Silva on the right flank, a bit of a gamble ye but why the F**k not, he will only get better and better with experience, ok it maybe a baptism of fire but hey, he who dares and all that, some Scottish bloke, great defender,once said you wont win anything with kids,hymph, now i wonder who that was ??

better get me whellies on as the bull sh*t is getting pretty thick round here

Depends on the price but i think he'd be too cosy with his wages to come to us at this stage.

Another center midfielder ...

Would take milner. Anything above 15m tell them to jog on though.

Another center midfielder ...

Yes hes a centre midfileder who every club hes been at has been played out of position on the right or left wing!!

I probably would of thought it was a good deal if we bought him when he was at Villa, his development and passion for the game has since gone out of the window because of Citeh.

You do post some sh*te articles don't you Mac Red.

Was a quality player when played centrally for Villa.
If we are looking for a winger though enter negotiations and then change the subject to Johnson...

To be fair he's only posting the news............

Which is what leads to discussion.............. .

Which is what the forum is all about................

Here we go again whipping up expectation to a level where the board or Kenny is to blame for the failure to land an imaginary target.

My apologises, must have been sleeping through the stages of when clickmanchester.com became fairly reliable.

Maybe people should pay more attention and actually read the articles before posting them, as most of them are utter sh*te.

I'm not saying its fairly reliable.

I said to be fair he's only posting the news, which is exactly what I would have done with the article had I stumbled across it because it encourages discussion, which remarkably is what the forum is all about it.

What confuses me is though that Mac Red commented on the John O'Shea thread about that source...

Four pages of discussion on O'Shea, based on a rumour from the ''click-manchester.com'' ... Interesting ...

So he has posted an article from a source that he has previously complained about so really, he agrees with what i'm saying. Just shows though that he posts absolutely anything he can find and it's getting fairly annoying, wonder how long it'll be before he's quoting articles from the s**.

And you would have gotten  similar piss taking posts, n'est pas?

Really don't want him.

Exactly Rodders, but to be honest there is plenty of other things to pull Mac_Red upon like the ............. or the putting down of members because he's on a higher intellectual flight than the rest of us etc, other than posting of articles which we all do from time to time, maybe not so much in excess but we all do it.

I'm awaiting the tediously predictable Pault86 tweet along the lines of, "said we watched him a few months back. Check back my tweets if you don't believe me"

No thanks..

Downing has just tweeted that he's left training with England, no mention where to though, but interesting

Never rated Milner, an average player not in the same league as his team mate Adam Johnson

Have to disagree in his final season at villa he dragged that team over the finish line virtually on his own and don't think hrs had a fair crack at city

So if we got him here on loan you would,nt want that would you. Can play either of the wings and in the centre of midfield.

That Downing twitter account looks like a fake to me

If it is then ssn are idiots, so yes probably fake

James Milner is not leaving the England camp to sign for anyone. A few clubs asked about him earlier in summer. Not for sale

Think most people think he's a winger, but he isn't. Central midfield is his main position and he's versatile enough, he can play on the wings. He played brilliant for Aston Villa in his final season there and at City he's shown highlights of his best but not really had a good run of games. Especially not in his favourite position.

But I don't believe this rumour. When he comes to central box to box midfielders, I think City are quite thin tbh. Him and Toure are the only two decent players who do that.  

To paraphrase a wise man, if I may:  

Four Two pages of discussion on O'Shea Milner, based on a rumour from the ''click-manchester.com'' ... Interesting ...

On Milner: I like him but I think Mancini does too so I'm not so sure this speculation has any legs. Stranger things have happened tho' and I have a notion we are in for a surprise, or two, today.  

So if we got him here on loan you would,nt want that would you. Can play either of the wings and in the centre of midfield.

No I wouldn't. Got far better players than Milner and I see little point in bringing someone in who will not be an improvement on anyone else. We want to be competing with City, not buying their fringe players.

Please NO.....no improvement on what we have.

Decent enough player but no room at the inn for him, he for me wouldn't be that much better than we already have in his position, plus we have enough cover in the ressies or in loaned players, i would rather we promote one or two of the young guns someone like Raheem Sterling or the lad Suso not forgetting Tony Silva, these three lads have been very impressive and i would like to see them training with the first team lads to give them a confidence boost, and possibly play them in the Carling cup early rounds, i agree with the comment about Citeh's fringe players, no disrespect to City but i believe we are bigger than them and signing him would be like licking someone else's dinner plate.
