The former Aston Villa midfielder has joined the likes of goalkeeper Joe Hart, Gareth Barry, Shaun Wright-Phillips, Adam Johnson, Joleon Lescott and Micah Richards at Eastlands.
Milner, who celebrated his debut on Monday in the 3-0 home victory against Liverpool, said: "You look at every team that has done well in the Premier League and they had an English core.
"It is the same in any country but you need the perfect mix and the perfect balance.
"That is down to the manager and I think (Roberto Mancini) has done that here. As long as everyone is bringing something to the table, it is good to have that mix, and get it right.
"We had a number of English players the other night but we can also chop and change because of the quality we have on the bench, not to mention the players who are injured.
"It is a fantastic squad and hopefully we can go places."
