[Albion] James Milner

[Flounce]

That Trent fella is available, apparently...

Nowhere near knackered enough

 

[Insel affe]

No playing contract please. His salary is exhorbitant by all reports and I'd rather we used the money on players who can play.

I've no problem giving him a coaching contract on normal coaches salary if the club think he's the right bloke

This

I just think, he's 39. He was creaking pretty badly last season. He's just had a year off injured to add onto the 600 games he's played.

How much more do we really think we can squeeze out of him

I don't know, I'm not part of the BHAFC coaching setup, so I have no knowledge at all of his state of health/fitness. THAT'S my point. They know the score, we can only guess, speculate and assume.

Should that not be a bare minimum requirement if you're on a professional football contract? Especially if you're on a very good one and likely hope to get another role in the organisation in due course

Of course it should. But how often do you hear players that aren't fit/playing get publicly mentioned for praise by teammates or their manager for still making a specific contribution to the first team in their absence?

I wonder if Leeds will want him .

 

[Silverhatch]

Hybrid coach; 21s senior player, also on first team coaching set up and player registration retained.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Is there another knackered old Liverpool player we might sign and release Milner like we did Lallana this season?

I’m sure the snood and glove loving Albion players will be keen to see the back of Milner

Van Dyke, Salah, Dalgleish, Keegan - take your pick.

 

[A1X]

Is he an insurance write off or something?

 

[The Fits]

He’s obviously massive behind the scenes so absolutely no issue with giving him a new contract.

 

[DJ NOBO]

As long as we don’t pay him top money to be a non-playing cheerleader, he is well worth keeping.

 

[Weststander]

I know he lives healthily, but crikey it’s getting silly now.

Saw that and thought of Benjamin Button.
Wonder if the new deal involves playing for the U16s in a couple of years?

 

[dejavuatbtn]

Not convinced.
