Topic: James Milner - El Burro Magnifico

[SamLad]

It absolutely can 

And given he has already replied to you with a suggestion of Solanke, to me it's pretty obvious what he means and in context, it refers to players coming back as an opposition player.

bollocks!!

Let's see if Paul clarifies.

[PaulF]

Ah sorry. I meant as an oppo player.
Was based on someone saying the reception Millie would get and how weird it'd be. I reckon he'd just be ill. But he's too professional.

Officially off to Brighton. Best of luck to the man. https://twitter.com/OfficialBHAFC/status/1668970318054998017?s=20

[jillcwhomever]

Best of luck Millie and thanks for your wonderful contribution over the past eight seasons.

[Hazell]

Good luck! Good signing for Brighton too

[jackh]

Wish him nothing but the best. He's been great for us and this should be a really good move for him.

[liverbloke]

best wishes consummate pro - and can kick lumps out of some if need be too 

[tubby]

Good luck to him, great pro for them to have around for their European adventure.

[Shanklygates]

Wonder who will take over the fines
And winning the lactate test! Hope they say at some point

[SamLad]

if he comes on at 85 mins for BHA vs us, all our guys will simply stop moving. 

all the best to you, James.  you are an example to all of us.

[WhereAngelsPlay]

They benefit massively from having him there, he's a great lad & built like a tank.

Our guys will be Milnered!

[RedG13]

Best of luck to him at Brighton

[sheepfest]

Cheers with a Ribena to wish you all the best.

Early preseason seems very strange without seeing pictures of Milner bossing things. Such an incredible servant to the club, who in light of recent events with the three greedy knobs going to earn blood money remains one of my top all time favourite players. I am so glad he kept his scruples, James will do a fantastic job at Brighton, we will give him an outstanding warm welcome when he returns and he will know that he retains the status of being a true Liverpool legend. I raise a glass of ribena to you sir!

All the very best to him - and good luck to those Brighton players in those pre-season training tests...

The Saudis would probably consider a man of Milner's talents to be beneath their project. They want fancy, big names, not unassuming players who are utterly professional and dedicated to the cause.

It's going to be weird seeing him in a Brighton shirt.

[markedasred]

So who won the lactate test this first day back just gone?

[SamLad]

they might not announce a winner until all of them have done it?

[jillcwhomever]

This is well worth a listen too James Milner going through his varied career. It makes me respect him even more than I already did.

Comes across as thoroughly sound.

Does anyone know the young liverpool player who he is talking about in relation to minor attitude issues?

[Kalito]

Does anyone know the young liverpool player who he is talking about in relation to minor attitude issues?

Probably Curtis ...

[SamLad]

I'd guess Carvalho

[tubby]

I'd guess Carvalho

That was my first instinct too, but it could be literally anyone.  Musialowski, for example.

[Kalito]

I'd guess Carvalho

Carvalho's been here 5 minutes and been loaned out. 

The way Milly's talking, the perfect description for me is Curtis Jones.

[SamLad]

Maybe.  I just remember Carv's on-field antics pissing me off in one game, and I have to believe he was talked to about it.  Very  un-Liverpool behaviour.  So I'm extrapolating that one incident into an attitude problem. As one does.....

[Angelius]

My guess would be Curtis too considering Milner follows up by saying that he's currently doing well at Liverpool. So can't be Carvalho or any other younger lad.

Curtis has himself said on the Liverpool podcast that there was a period of adjustment from youth to first team - Gerrard, Klopp, and others have had to get into his ear to set things right.

Yup.

Remember clearly that post-match interview he and Lallana did after the Villa match during Covid, where he scored his first league goal - Curtis was saying, I'm paraphrashing, that he felt he deserved to play more and was disappointed with lack of game time. Lallana put him straight in his place.

Nice insight from James into working with Kopp when he was here with us.

It's cracking that Terry. I watched the whole interview from start to finish because there were genuine insights from Milly into how the team has operated since Klopp was there.

[Red_Mist]

Brilliant stuff. Thanks for posting it Terry

[rafathegaffa83]

Great interview

[Lynndenberries]

Top professional.

[Garlicbread]

Night and day how people see at Milner and Henderson after their departures. Imagine telling that to someone in like 2015.

Thanks for posting mate, didn't see this. One of my favourite players of the past 10 years and I really hope he returns someday.
