It seems that every time Benitez targets a player, the valuation keeps rising. Firstly, there was Barrygate and now there is …….
Milnergate!
Newcastle have told Liverpool and Aston Villa they want £9million cash for winger James Milner.
Liverpool have offered Jermaine Pennant in part-exchange, while Villa plan to make an £8m offer. (Daily Mirror)
I think the former Leeds man is well worth the money. Even though the fee keeps rising, we are talking about a youngster who already has a wealth of top-level experience. Maybe something of a squad player at first, but he has the potential to be a very good player who as yet hasn’t quite managed to fulfill his potential. Would Milner fit in well at Liverpool, what do the fans think?
