Ace has hit the nail on the head, City like him because he's a jack of all trades, he's only a bit part player for them and that's the reason he is moving.
We on the other hand are going to build our team around him, well him and 'Captain' Henderson.
In his prime Steven Gerrard was probably the most athletic midfielder I have ever seen, on top of all his ability with the ball he had a great engine and incredible speed but look how quickly his athletic ability deteriorated once he got past 30.
Milner will do a job for a year or two and then like Gerrard players will be breezing past him like he's not there, in a couple of years time we'll be paying a statue £150k a week.
Let's not kid ourselves here, If we really wanted to challenge for the top honours in the game we would be signing CM's like Kovacic, Barkley and Veratti, building a team around a 30 year old James Milner (who has never been top class) is tantamount to throwing the towel in.
Another worrying development is our pursuit of Clyne, that suggests that we might be reverting to a back 4, that means a 2 man midfield - Henderson and Milner in a 2
