Would he come back? Doesn't get much play time at Everton could be possible if we return to the championship
 

But would he take a wage cut I doubt we could afford his current wage he's getting at Everton
 
He'd probably have to quarter his current wage. I don't think even Sharp even did that to join us.
 
I was about 15 in the 02/03 season and that team, after years of increasingly turgid shit, totally captured my imagination. For sentimental and nostalgic reasons I'd love to see him end his career with us.

That said. This team feels like an advent of a new period of success, much like the 02/03 team did. Shoehorning Jags into it might be a bit weird.
 
Considering his age, I doubt he'd get an attractive offer from another Prem club so if he fancies continuing playing for another 1-2 seasons a Champ club is the most obvious destination. There will be others willing/able to offer more £ but playing and a pathway into coaching at Utd may well appeal.

Given CW's tendency to target players with a link/affection to Utd (Sharp, McFazdean, Gregory etc.) this wouldn't surprise me if it happened. I doubt he'd be able to play every game but a combo of him and Wright would be good to fulfil the 'organiser' role at the back.

He should be good in the middle of a back 3, although that's not somewhere I recall him playing before. But there's no guarantee we'll go with a back 3, and I think Wright would cope in that role anyway. I don't think he'd be outstanding in a back 4 or anywhere else, he seems to be deteriorating rapidly.

I don't think he gives a fuck about us. I'd just see it the same as signing any other 35 year old on big wages. His connection to us counts for nothing for me. I don't think this squad needs a big name either.

If we were to sign him, and I wouldn't rule out Wilder being interested, then it would have to be within the wage structure, and ideally on a one year contract.

This is my position.

We've seen older players drop down the leagues in the past and excel for us. Paul McGrath's spell for us was memorable and even big Ugo shone on occasion.

100% yes. Love how snobby people get.

A 35yr England captain is a better than we have had in at least 7 years. Jagielka as the central CB is a no brainer.

He would come back too.

He would come back if the money and contract was right. If not he would go elsewhere .

Up to Wilder IMO , but doesn't fit the DNA plan of hungry 24 / 25 year olds .

If he signed he'd be the best centre back at the club, no doubt about that.

I dont care about his connections either, although they would only work in our favour if they were a factor.

I can see him joining Sunderland if they go down (or stay up) in the summer. Think he'd see that as a better bet - for wages and prospects etc. Although, let CW chew his ear off for 5 minutes and who knows.

We'll definitely need a couple of players of that ilk - experienced, older, wiser - at that level. A majority of the successful teams in the Championship have them.

I remember all this when we signed Phil Thompson . Look were that got us .

If Jags leg have gone in the premiership , would he be any better in the Championship .

I'd like some experience, but ideally someone 28-31 who can still run. And then another centre half in addition to them.

Given his age next season should have been his last year with us if he came back.

We look like we might have got back two years too late?
 

Jags was great for United, but that was a long time ago. He doesn't seem to hold any kind of special affection for the Blades and would just be a Bladey blade gamble.

McGrath was great for what 7 or 8 games,McCall worked out, but most of our acquisitions of fading stars in the past have not.

Let's look forward not backwards.
