Player Suggestion Ben Mee

Let's be reight, Bindon, Seriki & Burrows are crying out for an experienced head to provide some mentorship and organisation on the pitch. Let's hope he's a vocal leader on the field who can provide instruction to a young defence and the two holding midfielders.
He's not a long term solution and I doubt he's pacey enough to play in Selles' desired system, but we need someone to guide us through this transition period.
 

Would be a solid signing if he still has legs, can't say I've seen much of him in the past two seasons. Turns 36 very soon!
 
More than happy with this one. We need someone in and we need them quickly. Experienced leader, good career, left sided, and should be a quick turnaround. I can't see this stopping us spending cash on Thomas or someone else as we need 3 good centre backs. Bindon, Thomas and Mee will do nicely
 
Absolutely skint pathetic panic buying owners! We wong be signing Thomas at all! Neither will we sign Seol!! Crap!

I'm not sure Seol or Thomas move us forward very much.
I'd rather we aimed higher in the long-term signing market.

In the meantime, Ben Mee should be a decent squad option for the year.
If it's as simple as:
Robinson out, B. Mee in .. then I'm all for it.
 
Very good defender. Over 10 years of Premier League experience and was captain at Burnley. I wouldn't be concerned about his age if we had a quick CB to play alongside him but we don't. Bindon is one of our slowest players. Is it ideal to pair him with a 35 year old?
 
Shut up. This is perfect
Is it? I think you're being clouded. If it means we bring in 5 further players,
Seol,
Nils,
Bobby Thomas or the like,
Tim
And attacker, then I'm all for it, but it screams penny pinching to me. Especially with all the comments coming out of Ruben during pre season and now.

Yep.

Immediately his signing means we can shift Robbo and RND on.

I agree though, he needs to compliment what else we bring in.
 
I'd love to know what our strategy was in this window. We seemingly didn't go for players like Harry Darling or Jimmy Dunne, even though they were available on frees. And now we're so desperate for experienced defenders that we're trying to sign a guy who will be 36 next month.

Hopefully he's still got something in the tank and isn't Paddy McCarthy 2025.
 
Big tick in leadership and experience. I note even though he's 35 Brentford do play a high line defensively and he has been utilised in that system.

Short term fix but i will take what I can get at the moment, so a yes from me :)

I Just worry that were not going to get the targets we need. This scenario is precisely what i mentioned a few weeks ago, and was criticised and called bedwetting, yet what i thought is coming to pass.

If he is the only centre half we bring in then I agree with you. Its short termism. I suspect though he will be one of three we bring in if Robbo leaves.
