      A top lad and a model professional, would keep him here until he retires and give him a coaching job.

      But if Leeds get promoted i think he would love a last season with them in the PL.

      I think he's got another season in him with us but can see that there could be an attraction for him to go back to Leeds.

      I do hope he stays for another season. We would sorely miss his versatility. Only worry is, at his age, if he's not featuring regularly his fitness could go down. Either way, I still think he has a lot to offer for another season.

      Would be 35 by time he moves to Leeds, perfect for setting himself up for last season of football, than management. Seems a clever lad, could see the management potential in him.

      No need to worry about his fitness.

      Picking up little knocks is more of a worry for me.

      He could do, but I think the last couple of those years would be at a club that plays with less intensity.

      If they get promotion and stay up I can see that happening,one hell of a player and he has been vital for us and can still do a job for us.

      another final with Milner, Hendo and Gini playing. Milner was in bits last night he always gives his best and clearly Jürgen sees him as a go to player when the big games come up his experience is essential. He also likes to leave his mark here and there on the oppo.

      Filled in brilliantly when Robbo went off. Seamless transition.

      I know many think he isn't good enough for us and we can easily upgrade but I think the opposite.

      Jürgen will find it very difficult to replace him and a player with his experience and versatility along with his quality are vital to any squad.

      I value Milner but i don't think he should be a starter any longer. I prefer he be that "super sub" that comes in later in the game to either give us energy or help preserve a lead and see out a game with his experience, or for an injury in a position he can play, like when he did for Robbo.

      IMO, we have other players (Hendo, Fabinho, Ox, Gini, Keita) who deserve the starting spot over Milner.

      Rolling 1 year extension the best course of action I'd suggest.

      Spot on. He really is like a swiss army knife for our team. So damn reliable and useful.

      I wouldn't say he isn't good enough but we can upgrade on him. I don't think it would be difficult to upgrade on him in terms of purely just ability, but it's everything else that goes with the game that he excels in. That's not to say bin off Milner though, it's not often you get players as versatile as him and given the relatively young age of the squad, he's a players the younger lads can learn a lot from. Even the players coming to the club from abroad too, what better way to adjust to a team and get fit during pre-season than being pushed all the way by Milner.

      I would at least keep him until january offer him a year contract minimum.  Can we do better lets do it and then think about.  He is a good addition to the squad.

      I have it from an unimpeachable source that Milly has a pre-contract in place with Leeds for next season.
