5 years ago I’d be all for this signing

As of today, I'd be all for this signing.

He's 27 and experienced at Championship level, plus 50ish PL appearances, sign him up.

Yes, he doesn't have much resale value but is that even all that important for players like Mepham, Mcburnie etc?

They're players that are signed to do a job in the short to medium term, not players that we've invested in for the long term, like Burrows, Cooper etc.

Sharp was how old, 28/29?, when we signed him in 2015, could argue that he had little to no resale value back then.

16/17 season: Jake Wright signed on a free, zero resale value who was brought in to do a job, Vs O'Connell who was younger and had resale value, yet both were equally as important to our team.

Other players we signed who had little to no resale value (but did the job required): Richard Stearman, James Hanson, Leon Clarke, Wes Foderingham, Jack Robinson, Didzy, Mark Duffy.

Anel replacement?

[Aston max]

Didn't realise he's only 27 ,seems to have been round for years .

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Let's loan him for the season. £2m loan fee

 

[Tazzy]

Good replacement for Anel if we can get him

Mepham and Hughes. Nasty back two, that.

Bit like Mepham and Ballard

 

[Upton_Blade]

Mepham and Hughes. Nasty back two, that.

Personally think Mepham would be decent experienced head next to Bindon for the season.

 

[Aston max]

Are there any tangible rumours on this

Hopefully not there was a reason Sunderland didn't play him, he's not very good with the ball at his feet.

They were picking 5'3", right back, O'Nien ahead of him admittedly. Im not sure why though.

It was because O'Nien was alot better with the ball.
