Player Suggestion David Buchanan

[FTPE]

With Wright and Basham for cover our back 5 isn't my main concern anymore. I want CM and or a winger.
The thing that's going to annoy me the most on deadline day is when we don't snap up Caolan Lavery.
Not just the youngest and most exciting talent we've been looking at but the most convenient and probably cheapest one too. He's tricky, has pace, can play on the wing and has an eye for goal..... Fucking Reo Coker?!!

 

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

"So Nigel. You're thinking of signing for Sheffield United?"

 

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

I will break his knee caps

That's very "Hamas" if ye don't mind me mentioning.

@Max_Goddard9 Wilder isn't in for a Left Back priorities are elsewhere. Nigel Reo Coker been mentioned a lot in the past 24 hrs.

Just what we need, another over 30. What a fucking joke signing that would be. Refuse to sign Morsy then snap this fucker up... sounds worryingly likely for this club. If we do go for him I'd say Wilder's lost it already.

Yer man hussy can't defend at all.... Said that after watching 5 minutes against stocksbridge.

I'd be all for giving Wallace a run in the side. Like freeman, he didn't do much wrong last year and then fell out of favour.

Steady defensively, comfortable on the ball and can get forward. I'd prefer to spend money on cb, mid or forward if I'm honest.

I wouldn't waste your anger until we know who he is actually signing.

If we took notice of every Twitter post we'd be suicidal, even our much vaunted resident ITK has totally messed up so far in this window.

Someone has. On a Twitter rumour. Calm down Ricky.

I know it's only an unlikely rumour but it still makes me very uncomfortable - that's how bad a signing it would be.

The only way that would happen is if transfer dealings had been taken off Wilder and Reo-Coker was a mate of Simon McCabes.

I'd like to think so, but that said Wilder does seem to be signing/interested in a lot of players around the 30 mark.

30s not "old" in todays footie Herb. Players are fit as fuck at that age. Just look at Ibra at Manure at 35. Years ago players didn't look after themselves as they do now and 30 seemed to signal the endings of a players career , but not anymore.

Not all thirty somethings are like Zlatan. Look at Hammond. Similar age to Reo Coker when we signed him.

Too right when i was twenty i couldn't bend my prick with two hands now at nearly 60 i can bend it with one.
Must be getting stronger

I'm not sure we can blame the club or should have tantrums based on third party rumours over which SUFC have no control whatsoever?

Of course we can blame the club!
Isn't that what we're all on here for?

26, the average age of the signings wilder has made. When I was 26, I certainly didnt consider myself around the 30 mark, but, if it suits your argument I guess..........

See 'signing/interested in'.

See Wright, Duffy, Clarke.

And I don't know what you're suggesting my argument is. All I'm doing is pointing out what I have about players around 30 years old.

Ahhh, so maxstertheblade links us with a player on twitter an diwlde ris only interested in players 30+? Got it.

Clarke: 31
Duffy: 30
Moore: 26
Wilson: 27
O'Connell: 22
Wright: 30
Fleck: 25
Hussey: 27

Median and mean both 27; modes 27 and 30. It's fair to say that Wilder has continued our tradition of signing players at their peak with arguable exceptions for O'Connell and Fleck.

OK, just pretend it's only the bullshit Twitter rumours I'm talking about 'if it suits your argument'. Not the likes of McFadzean, Morgan, Chris Taylor, Holmes and Revell.

Missing chapman

 

[bornablade]

Over 30 too old? Yeh let's face it Stuart McCall was crap when he joined us.

 

[s10blade]

McCall, old, great signing
Hammond, old, bag of shit

In summary, age doesn't matter. Close thread.

We have a great record with players in the latter seasons of their career.

Cowans, McCall, McGrath, Short, Speed, Allison, Gillespie.

[s10blade]

I don't get why people get hung up on age. Shit players come in all sorts of varieties. We've had plenty of young players that have been poor.
