United fury at Liverpool bid for midfielder

Newcastle United are today furious after Liverpool offered three "nonentities" for midfielder James Milner. The 23-year old has been linked with a move to Anfield for some time now, but it would appear they won't be getting him anytime soon. (Evening Chronicle)



The former Leeds United player has spent four years at at St James' Park, making over 100 appearances during that time. The England under-21 international has caught the attentions of Rafa Benitez and it was widely rumoured last week that the Spaniard would make a £6 million bid for the player.

I personally don't think Milner is what Liverpool need if they want to challenge for the league next year. He is a decent player at best and I feel Liverpool would be more obliged to go for someone like David Silva from Valencia, who is now up for sale.
