James Milner assisted 7 goals in 14/15, the same as Silva and more than Ramsey (6), Coutinho (5), Ozil (5), Rooney (5) and Lallana (3)
Almost as many as Coutinho and Lallana combined
Stats don't necessarily tell the whole story though mate, an assist just basically means the last man to touch the ball before the goal scorer, quite often the key pass in a move occurs quite early in the build up.
Milner isn't a bad player but let's face it if he wasn't on a free we wouldn't be interested.
Rodgers will be gone before Christmas imo, wether he is in charge of transfers or not there will be a fan backlash to our business this summer, you don't gain ground on the likes of Chelsea, City and United by trying to find value in the market.
We finished the season looking an absolute shambles yet somehow the powers that be within the club think the answer to that is to sign Ings and Milner? Seriously?
