Wednesday 18 August 2010 is the day James Milner discarded his claret shirt in favour of MCFC’s Sky Blue – in essence, today becomes the biggest day of his life.
As MCFC confirmed the deal was completed today, City boss Roberto Mancini said:
“I am very happy to have James with us, everybody knows we have admired him for some time…he is an excellent midfielder, who can play in a number of positions. This is important for the team, and I am looking forward to seeing him play for us. We have a very strong squad, and this signing is a very important one for us.
“James is already a very good player, who has proved he can play at the very top level. But he is also young and a good character, I think he can also improve and be a great player for Manchester City for a long time.”
