James Milner (Manchester City)
James Milner has a new contract on the table from Premier League champions Manchester City, but the England international is taking his time over signing it and wants assurances over regular first team action. With Gerrard set to leave Anfield, the Reds desperately need midfield reinforcements and Milner, often derided as a workhorse, is an intelligent, driven player who is best in the centre of the park. Liverpool should push the boat out to make him their marquee buy.
