Milner always had the tools to be a top player, the question marks were whether he had the hunger. With Colback it's the other way round. He's eager enough but he's too slow to be a box to box player and he hasn't exactly got Gazza like skills to make up for it.
Really? Never heard that before mind.
Exactly. Milner has brilliant hunger and application just lacks top level ability. Classic Man Utd. squad player Ji-Sung Park & Fletcher type. In fact, he's better than both at their peak I believe.
Yeah, always thought it was more about ability with Milner than anything else, nothing to do with hunger.
