I'm not typically one for buying British from EPL teams in this market, but Milner would be a great addition to our team, especially at the right price and right wages. I've watched a lot of city over the last few years, because in the US they love only showing the top few teams play every weekend and that's what I watch when the reds aren't on here and I've got to say that I've always rated him when he's on the pitch. Never fully understood why he always seems to be the scapegoat.
Maybe it stands out in that team particularly because there are a lot of mercenaries in the squad, but he gives it all every game for the team and he always seems willing to embrace every position and that's something Brendan always loves to see in players.
He's also extremely versatile, has great stamina and can get pretty quick, he can pick out a pass really well, and more importantly he understands his role in the side and doesn't try to do too much when he's on the ball, but makes the right move to contribute to the better of the team. He would compliment our playing style very well.
Additions like him and Remy at the right price are extremely good assets to have. Not first match day starting material for a club with our ambition, but they provide excellent cover and even better competition. They'll find themselves playing a lot of games as well I feel over the course of the season, especially Milner if we get him in.
