Maybe, but I don't think we can compete with the big three for transfers at the moment - Champions League pull etc.
Closing the gap on the big three or four is going to take time, and can not be done overnight. We are moving in the right direction but we have to be realistic.
I myself would welcome Milner in to the current squad, and feel he could do a great job for us. Who knows where he will be in two or three years time!
