Honestly can’t think of one. Happy to be corrected.

That Florian Flick we were linked with last summer missed most of last season with a broken metatarsal, went on the piss and then had fitness issues so is theoretically an affordable possibility. Question is whether or not he can be whupped into shape - if so he is a beast with skills.

A good, & well argued, point. Though he has the excuse if being foreign.

From the wiki page on St.Florian, Patron Saint of firefighters. The bit I've bolded shows he was, in fact, a reet hard cunt

Florian was born around AD 250 in the ancient Roman city of Aelium Cetium, present-day Sankt Pölten, Austria. He joined the Roman Army and advanced in the ranks,^[3] rising to commander of the imperial army in the Roman province of Noricum. In addition to his military duties, he was also responsible for organizing and leading firefighting brigades. Florian organized and trained an elite group of soldiers whose sole duty was to fight fires.^[4]

During the Diocletianic Persecution of Christians, reports reached Rome that Florian was not enforcing the proscriptions against Christians in his territory. Aquilinus was sent to investigate these reports. When Aquilinus ordered Florian to offer sacrifice to the Roman gods in accordance with Roman religion, Florian refused. Florian was sentenced to be burned at the stake. Standing on the funeral pyre, Florian is reputed to have challenged the Roman soldiers to light the fire, saying "If you wish to know that I am not afraid of your torture, light the fire, and in the name of the Lord I will climb onto it."^[5] Apprehensive of his words, the soldiers did not burn Florian, but executed him by drowning him in the Enns River with a millstone tied around his neck instead.^[3][4]

Agree but not what I’d class a midfield bastard. As radders Stig is exactly what I think for a midfield bastard

I'm thinking more someone who likes a tackle, is good at it, and doesn't go missing, always up for the scrap

There could be a new thread for ex players that used to be too good to stay with us or for us to re-sign, and now would love to play for us but we've overtaken them.  Or something like that.

Amos, Vela, Clough, ALF etc.

I'd say Kioso but somehow he keeps getting signed by clubs that are going to be relegated from the championship.

Maybe Connell.
