There was a story a couple of weeks we were going to offer James Milner a new contract to ward off interest.

In todays pre match press conference (Sky Sports)MON has confirmed that there will be talks in the summer

O’Neill told the Express and Star: “I would say we wouldn’t be looking at people until summertime, but that doesn’t mean that James Milner hasn’t been fantastic for this football club.

“I’ve already spoken to him and we are leaving everything, we’re not going to sit down now.

“The season is far too busy and summertime is the perfect time to talk and I think all parties agree on that too.”

This is fantastic news and I doubt James Milner will be difficult to negotiate with and he deserves every penny. The true professional footballer, teetotal, fantastic attitude and of course player.

I love him and I did predict he would be a major star as far back as June but in reality when he first came to us on loan in DOL’s disastrous first season

Love Milner
