Why the F**k are we signing this old f**ker, was my reaction when Jimmy signed, but by F**k what a signing he has proven to be, you simply cannot buy experience and Jimmy has it in abundance, like DLS, i thought Milner was always decidedly average, when you look at the clubs he has played for none really have pulled up many trees, apart from City of course but he played in a side bought to win the league so no real surprise there, he played a role in that side and played very well obviously,
When that other old f**ker Gary Mac was signed by Gerard H, it was a stroke of genius, this is no different, in fact it’s arguably a even better stroke of genius, no actually it is better, no argument at all,
For a player, in the twilight of his career, to still have the same passion as a newby, to still want to learn, have the skills and ability to play in different positions and play in them with style and elegance, to keep in line the levels of fitness required for the most difficult league anywhere in Europe if not the world, for a player of his age it is truly remarkable, and yet he remains so humble, so glad he has penned a contract extension, no one deserves it more.
Three’s Only One Jimmy Milner, the Ribena man.
