<laugh><laugh><laugh> Like him now. Doesn't mean he'll be any good though!! "Ooh yeah it's going through nice and smooth, you know you can get those jittery ones sometimes" So true Milner, so true

David James was on Talkshite earlier tonight saying that after England games in the World Cup Milner was in the pool doing a warm down, the only one who bothered and on his own.

Moving to Liverpool is his warm down to retirement, a handful of EL games and then back to a league game a week.
 
worse... barry cost them money to city on top of the free and the entire planet could see his legs were gone on the loan everton also paid for.

everton prob paid more in the end for barry who was older than we have for milner and the bile is really running blue today.

I know, I was only being facetious.
 
Sadly for all the wums and bitters out there the general opinion is that Milner is a sound signing and has been held back at City as they prefer to play their overpaid for under-performing 'superstars'

Really, there was a fee for a free agent?

<whistle>

I've no idea if this is the case but I was assuming he meant a loan fee for the year before you signed him on a free :huh:

Possibly, but I doubt he will be on Milner wages.

To be fair I would have loved him at Goodison. A player I have liked from his Leeds days

Milner will be getting more money but the average wage of new signings two years ago compared to now is very different anyway. Both will have gained a hefty signing on fee too.

I believe it was in the region of £2.5m put in as a clause in his loan deal, if the move was made permanent <ok>

How can that be possible if the player is out of contract? Surely both Everton and Barry would just agree to hold fire until the loan deal expired before making it permanent to avoid the fee?

As I said it was a clause in his contract, Everton paid £2.5m 'transfer fee'.

There was no initial loan fee, but a clause in the loan agreement that if we ended up taking him on a Bosman at the end of the season we'd pay City £2m. So the agreement was between the 2 clubs nothing to do with the players contract as such.
