James Milner

[AndyJames83]

How can Mike Ashley and messrs Wise and Jimenez claim Milner is worth £10m and not agree he's worth more than £15 000 a week?! Milner has been the most consistent Newcastle player for the past 3 seasons yet they would rather sell him than up his salary. If Steven Taylor is worth £35 000 then James Milner should be earning at least that. The lad grafts his stones off and has never given anything less than 110%, while Duff, Owen, Smith etc couldn't give a f*ck and earn 7-8 times more. After the Villa debacle the lad needs to be shown a little respect. There is the argument his final ball can be poor but he brings so much more to the team. Is it worth the risk signing an unproven replacement?? Or would it be better to up his salary and give him the credit he deserves?

Any thoughts?

Milner signed a four year 30 grand a week deal last year. Still got 3 years left to run on it.
How much does a 21 year old want. Think the irish man at villa has had a word in his shell like

That's what I was told as well, but the lad also said Taylor is on 50k so Milner aint happy.

A bit ironic if O'Niel has tapped him up after the way he winged about liverpool tapping Barry. If we get offered 10 million then id snap there hands off. there again you can see Millners point if they are paying the scouse thug 60 grand a week.

milner at best is a good player - lets not all get sympathetic about wages (7 - 8 times £15k is £120,000 ,and i dont think he or anyone else at NUFC is on that pay ) so that one is put to bed - if he wants to leave ,then let him do so ,why have a team member who doesnt want be there - it doesnt help at 3PM on matchday !!!! - if a 21 year old thinks that he can fulfill his dreams elswhere ,then let him go to pastures new - but as my Old Man once said to me when i left a job for more money


" The Grass MAY Be Greener Son ,BUT you STILL have to MOW It !! "

and how right he was


I would snap the £10M up at an instant ,we have players that will suit Milners position - But i would also offer him a better contract Vs what he is on !!!!!

because its easier to nurture what you have ,than train what is Alien to any business
