Liverpool fans react as James Milner makes Anfield switch

Manchester City midfielder James Milner is joining Liverpool on a free transfer. How do we know? Because Boring James Milner told us so. Brendan Rodgers said Do you want to sign for Liverpool? I said I'll think about it. Then I thought about it, then I said Yes. He said Great. — Boring James Milner (@BoringMilner) June 4, 2015 The 29-year-old England international has agreed terms and will make the move to Anfield subject to a medical when his contract expires at the end of the month. It’s an important move for Liverpool, who desperately needed an experienced man in midfield to replace departing skipper Steven Gerrard. Liverpool fans were, by and large, delighted with their new signing. Excellent signing to start the summer business off at Liverpool with the arrival of in demand James Milner — Neil Mellor (@NeilMellor33) June 4, 2015 James Milner is a cracking signing on a free. One of the Premier League's most under rated players. #MilnerLFC — James Smith (@J_Smith55) June 4, 2015 Great signing really . Both feet . Engine . Experience . All we Liverpool fans can ask for . #milnerlfc — #MuchFunJunyi (@junyiteoh_) June 4, 2015 Genuinely buzzing that we got him #MilnerLFC — LFC Chris (@jft96_chris) June 4, 2015 (LFC sign Milner) I like the cut of his jib, a good big square jawed jib… — RAWK Meltdown (@RAWK_Meltdown) June 4, 2015 Have a feeling James Milner is the underwhelming signing that will smash through my expectations. #MilnerLFC — Steven Carson (@StefanoHairon) June 4, 2015 We’re pretty sure that means he thinks he’s gonna be good. A lot of tweets followed the pattern of ‘he’s good, but we want more’. I have no qualms with the Milner deal, he'll be a good influence on and off the field. Roll on some World class signings now! #MilnerLFC — Krupa (@Krupa_3) June 4, 2015 Very pleased we're getting Milner. Won't be pleased if he's our highest profile signing this summer #MilnerLFC — KeithB_LFC (@Scouse_LFC) June 4, 2015 Some saw him as a natural replacement for Gerrard as skipper. Great signing #MilnerLFC is top class pro new captain. — Paul LFC Foreman (@redsmicer) June 4, 2015 I'm really happy, i think that Milner will play a great role at anfield and could potentially lead Liverpool as our new captain #MilnerLFC — rhea (@LovingRih) June 4, 2015 There was some advice for Brendan Rodgers. Brendan don't you dare play Milner at Right wing back! — Indigo (@IndigoLFC) June 4, 2015 This guy may have got a little over-excited. Best signing we've had signing since Suarez #MilnerLFC — StevieG (@Jambo_Davies) June 4, 2015 Not everyone was so pleased though. I know Milner will give it his all, just not sure that he's good enough. — Hazem (@ZumaLFC) June 4, 2015 I've seen mascherano, Gerrard and alonso grace our midfield so when asked is Milner good enough the answer is absolutely fucking not — Sam Ashman (@sashmundo) June 4, 2015 And there were lots people posting this particular video… Milner to #LFC – who needs Gerrard when you can have this… http://t.co/GJySCCYgPj — easyodds.com (@easy_odds) June 4, 2015 But most people were agreed on one thing. Liverpool have actually made a decent signing in Milner #Underrated — – (@mantawyy) June 4, 2015 James Milner is such an an underrated player✌🏾 — Callum (@CallumUnders10) June 4, 2015 Good news on Milner. A winner, a fighter and hopefully a leader. Very underrated player. — LFC Core (@LFC_Core) June 4, 2015 I hope Milner backs himself and has Gerrard's number 8… I reckon he will be quality for Liverpool #underrated — Jake Stone (@JakeStone08) June 4, 2015 James Milner is so underrated, works his socks off. The sort of player Liverpool need — Lucas (@Lukealele) June 4, 2015 James Milner is a very shrewd signing! #Underrated — Luke Kellett (@LukeKellett1) June 4, 2015 Milner on a free is a class bit of business. Very underrated imo — The other GB (@GabzBenony96) June 4, 2015 always said Milner was underrated, cracking signing for Liverpool! — Jade Roddy (@jadeCFC_) June 4, 2015 In fact so many people were saying Milner was underrated that it became a bit of a philosophical quandary. Is someone actually underrated, if everyone is saying he is underrated? because surely thats an acknowledgement that he is good? #Milner — Baber (@DanielBaber1) June 4, 2015 Or to put it another way… Milner's been called underrated so much he's now overrated — jai (@bIindinho) June 4, 2015
