Some Leeds United fans have got their hopes up about James Milner signing for the club after the Yorkshire Evening Post sent out a rather misleading tweet using quotes from the midfielder’s book.
As we have been over before on FFC, the actual full set of quotes make it seem as if the Liverpool man is tentative to return to his boyhood club, but the paper chose to neglect those parts in their social media post.

Milner went onto say the following: “But at the same time, they say ‘Never go back,’ don’t they? What happens if you go back and it isn’t the fairy-tale finish? Would it be the right thing for me? Would it be the right thing for them?”
On that evidence, supporters perhaps shouldn’t be getting their hopes up.
