Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  E hiahia ana a James Milner ki te tākaro i tētahi kēmu tatari tae noa ki te mutunga o te tau, i mua i te whakatau whakamutunga mō tōna heke mai ki Manchester City. Kei te hiahia te kaitakawaenga o Ingarangi mai i Liverpool me Brendan Rodgers e hiahia ana ki te whakakii i te korenga i hangaia e te wehenga o Steven Gerrard. Heoi, e pouri ana a Milner i nga ripoata e kii ana kua oti i a ia te neke ki Anfield. I a City e haere ana ki te whakataetae Manchester Derby o te Ratapu e whai ana i te taha o nga hoa noho tata o United i te riiki mo te wa tuatahi mai i te marama o Noema 2013, e hiahia ana a Milner ki te whakarite kia mutu te wa o City i te wa kaha ka taea. Ka whakatau te kaitakawaenga o Manchester City a James Milner mō tōna heke mai i te mutunga o te tau. Ko Milner, i whakaahuatia i muri i te hinganga 2-1 o Manchester City ki Crystal Palace, e whakaaro ana i ana whiringa. Ka pau tana kirimana o nāianei i te marama o Hune, ā, ka pōhēhē tōna heke mai mai i te wā i mutu ai ngā whakawhitiwhitinga kirimana i te marama o Tihema. I te marama kua hipa, i whakaahuatia ia e te kaiwhakahaere Manuel Pellegrini he 'whakamanatanga' me te whutupaoro Ingarihi 'te kaitakaro tino oti' i roto i te ngana ki te akiaki ia ki te noho ki te Etihad. 'He mea whakamiharo a Milner, he tangata he nui ona pōro, he nui te ngakau,' i mea a Pellegrini. Ko te tumanako ka noho ia. Ki te kore ia e mahi, na te mea he tono nui [mai i tetahi atu wahi].' Ko Milner anake i timata i te 13 Premier League mai i nga whakataetae 31 - he iti ake i a Jesus Navas, Yaya Toure, David Silva, Samir Nasri, Fernandinho me Fernando - me te hiahia ki te whutupaoro auau. Kei te hiahia a Brendan Rodgers ki a Milner, i whakaahuatia i te tau 2012, hei awhina i te whakakii i te waahi i mahue i a Steven Gerrard. I tīmata a Liverpool ki te whai i a Milner tata ki te 12 marama ki muri, ā, ko te nekehanga ki Merseyside ka whakaoti i te maha o ngā pouaka. Kaore a Milner e whakarere i tana whanau taiohi mai i to ratau kaainga i Hale, ka whakawhiwhia ki a ia te whai waahi ki te purei i tana waahi waenga waenga. Hei whakawhitinga koreutu, ka whakahau ia i tetahi kirimana e rite ana ki te neke atu ranei i tana utu £ 120,000 ia wiki i te taone nui. Ko Arsenal me Everton hoki kua whakaatu i te hiahia i a Inter Milan, Roma me Valencia...
