Don't think we need Lescott at all.
If Skrtel leaves, sure, try and get Lescott.
Skrtel
Agger
Lescott
Coates
Carragher
That's too much, especially since we don't have endless funds. Unless we lose Skrtel or Agger, centre-back is far from a priority for us, and its imperative for Coates to be third choice this season. We could also do with Wisdom getting a couple of game. Carragher will obviously be given a fair few games just to make it look like his contribution to the team is justifying his wages.
Midfield is the priority, then wingers, then a striker, then back to the midfield if possible.
Spearing and Adam will never be good enough, and Henderson isn't good enough yet. Shelvey needs at least another year before we can trust him to start every other game, Gerrard is aging and injury-prone, and fuck knows what'll happen if Lucas suffers a recurrence. None of our reserves are anywhere near good enough, and tbh I doubt they ever will be.
