kick it off 1,927 Posted June 22, 2015 Probably too old to be much more than a squad player, but good experience to have in the dressing room. Don''t think he was what we need to be fair, but interesting to see the signings the other promoted clubs are making. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icecream Snow 761 Posted June 22, 2015 At 37, 38 in December, he''s going for the John Wark cyborg thing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,598 Posted June 22, 2015 No thanks, glad he''s gone elsewhere - best days surely well behind him at 37 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellowbeagle 0 Posted June 22, 2015 We have players with prem experience, we don''t need that sort of signing IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crabbycanary3 994 Posted June 22, 2015 Always thought that on his day, he was one of the best C/Hs I''ve seen in the Prem, but that day was at least 8 years agoPerhaps if Elliott Ward ups his game, he could keep him out of the team (Is Elliott still at Ballmouth?)

True Grit 26 Posted June 22, 2015 Should have gone in for him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheTetteyRole 0 Posted June 22, 2015 How could I guess that that was your opinion?Been terrible for years, glad he came no where near us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rich T The Biscuit 562 Posted June 22, 2015 Our record of picking up old centre half has been exemplary over the years hasn''t it!!Anyone remember Steve Walsh, Thomas Helveg and Dejan Stefanovic?!?Anyone who genuinely believes this is the kind of player we should looking to get in is clearly in a wind up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
True Grit 26 Posted June 22, 2015 Unprecedented PL experience and knowledge, a good squad player and would be able to give advice to the younger lads at the squad, including AN, who as you well know has never managed a single game at premier league level.

True Grit 26 Posted June 22, 2015 Helveg was another player that wasn''t given a proper chance in order to condition himself for the PL, regardless of his obvious quality. All most fans remember him for is a clumsy challenge he did on giggs when we played man u. Again another quality player that we didn''t get the best out of.

Rich T The Biscuit 562 Posted June 22, 2015 Where''s Newton when needed?This would be the biggest waste of money since last seasons £17m.This kind of player would come here in megabucks and probably play less than a handful of games.If you want someone with PL experience in the changing room we have loads of old boys kicking around the place.

Rich T The Biscuit 562 Posted June 22, 2015 Helveg was quality in his prime, we got him long after his prime which is why we got him in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rich T The Biscuit 562 Posted June 22, 2015 CUSDP - you''re normally a man in the know, any hints you''ve picked up re others? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,598 Posted June 22, 2015 If you are looking for experienced PL defenders, you need look no further than Bassong or Martin, Olsson, Whittaker - a fair bit of our squad has plenty of games under their belts; the difference between us and Cherries is that they don''t.

thas a rummun 2 Posted June 22, 2015 5 or 6 years ago I thought Distin was one of the best defenders in the Premier League. So quick.Not so much nowadays though, obviously. Good experience for Bournemouth to bring in, but 37/38 is very old for an outfield Premier League player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iron_stan 0 Posted June 22, 2015 this is a wind up isnt it ?be better of signing my dead uncle, about as much use in the top flight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
