Liverpool: Mr Reliable James Milner will be rewarded with a new contract
Liverpool’s ready to award one of their most reliable players with a new contract. Milner’s contract only expires next summer, but now is the time to renew.
There is no need to explain how the Liverpool public responded when Milner joined the Reds in the summer of 2015 on a free transfer. The only team to recognise the workhorse being shipped into the Merseyside shores was the team he was departing from, Man City.
What came next was absolutely professional and was carried out with a 150% effort. If there’s one player, that if required to stand between the poles in a penalty shootout because of a goalkeeper red, and all the substitutions made, then go on to win the game with a save, it’s James Milner.
