If your suggesting we can cope with Milner as fill in for hendo we need to be better than that imo
Milner is very good in midfield and will get games in our midfield if we get a new LB, his experience will help also in CL games where we do not have that much experience.
I agree but is that a going forward in quality approach put Milner in the MF ?
I would say at 30 31 he is good injury fill in for a few weeks, but not months! and stand by we need better in our MF next season Good squady but not a 1st team regular imo
Milner is a very fit player, he would have no problem playing months in midfield if we need him, look at all the ground he covered at LB this season, he hardly missed a game.
Like other posters have said, he's the sort of quality we need in the squad/on the bench to bring on in games, rather than young inexperienced players in big games.
His cool head and experience scored us some key penalties that helped us get in the CL places, we need that experience in the CL, Lucas will be too slow for that and I think he will be sold when we get a CB.
