I’m not sure I see the value in signing past-it players. Lallana and Milner combined have had 6 seasons with us, probably costing us something in the region of 20m in wages. I reckon that in that time they’ve played fewer minutes than some of our more resilient first teamers do in a season.

Stones would be a fantastic signing but there will be a long queue. Lindelof is out of contract at United, a decent player with good experience.

There was a suggestion last year - before the Villa snapped him up - that Ross Barkley could be a good shout; he'd done well at Luton, even they were relegated.
Hasn't played all that much for Everton, and they only (allegedly) paid £5M for him anyway, so might be worth a punt.

Milner has 172 mins this season, compared to 778 last season. Lallana had 846 last season.

Jon Stones? More chance of signing Stone Cold Steve Austin

Steve Austin used to play football but the American gridiron kind.


Early life

Steve Austin was born Steven James Anderson on December 18, 1964, in Austin, Texas. After his parents divorced, his mother moved the family to Victoria, Texas, raising Austin and his two brothers, Scott and Kevin, as a single parent. She later married Ken Williams, who adopted the children; Austin's name was legally changed to Steven James Williams. The family eventually settled in Edna, Texas. Austin also has a third brother, Jeff, and a sister, Jennifer.

He attended Edna High School and played college football at Wharton County Junior College before transferring to the University of North Texas. He began as a linebacker but switched to defensive end after a knee injury.

Not aimed at you.
Just look at what you've written and appreciate how completely funking disgusting and bonkers football and it's finances are.
A couple of blokes who can maybe kick a ball around every so often.
Even if they'd been playing regularly it would be obscene, only less so of course.
No I've not just realised this.

Just spoken to an ardent City fan about Stones.
The summary was that he is obviously a very good player, but has hamstrings made of paper and possibly has a mental issue around injuries, and enjoys a drink meaning that his recovery times are perhaps not what they could be.
All hearsay of course.
