James Milner signs Liverpool contract extension until 2022

Another fantastic bit of news ! Love his quip about Klopp waiting on him before Klopp signed his contract ! 

Top professional. Happy to see him stay but a little surprised at the length of the contract.

Hard working player. I think his influence off the pitch has a lot to say about our success. Hopefully he gets some more PL winners' medals to add to his collection

Wondered about that alright but it must be his fitness levels that convinced the powers that be. The man is a machine. A model pro, the way he looks after himself.

Also he is probably looking at the long game and knows he will get less playing time with one eye on management, its a good deal for both player and club.

Cracking lad but the reality is he is having treatment for an injury

I’m happy to see Milner staying another year, he may not play as much next year but when called upon he’ll do a job. His professionalism however is what is needed for all the younger players coming through and you’d think he would move into management so who better than Klopp to learn from. If he plays 11 more games then he would have played 300 which is incredible really. Didn’t he join on a free?

Yup same here, experienced and good for the young lads. He can be used in cups games or when needed. Always good to have an experienced old head around.

I hope this will be his last season/first season moving into coaching (although he's very much on a player salary and not a coach salary). He should follow the Stevie G path of starting with the younger lads with an ultimate target of the U18's etc. Just follow Stevie. I expect he's ideal for the role and whether he stays at LFC or not, he'd be a perfect manager role model in the premier league.  Potential manager of Leeds, Burnley, Villa before going any higher.
