We're going to have a very old squad if we sign these 2:
34 - Jaakkola 34 - Rodman 34 - Hughes 33 - Coutts 33 - Pitman 36 - L.Clarke 37 - G.Whelan
That's potentially 7 out of 11.
I'm all for a bit of experience but I think we already have enough in the squad and these 2 are not the answer to out problems.

Don't worry, in a few weeks we're gonna start a new long term strategy where we'll get in a load of younger players and try to build for the future. Hopefully, some of these players will still be around though, coz a few weeks after that we'll abandon that strategy and start going for experience again.

We’ve had all sorts of donkeys training with us over the years 🙄 The problem is we sign most of them.

The club has been so lacking in direction and coherent planning, it's a total embarrassment.

Those 7 would realistically never play in the same starting XI though (imagine Brett and Leon Clarke as a partnership...), I'm not against signing experienced players but Clarke and Whelan have 2 seasons left in them at most, baffling.

Kevin Bond just wants a few players near his own age in the squad so that he can outsprint them in training.

It's obvious Barton is struggling to attract a decent striker here. Struggling to "attract" pirate or just aren't the right ones available ?

If Whelan has kept himself fit and playing because he loves football and mis better than what we have I have no problem with his age. Leon Clarke its not his age that worries me but more a case of last season he looked well past his sell by date and this is a year on. Bogle would possibly be a good signing. Did i read somewhere about 4-5 players in this week? If so that would mean 7-8 out! Well it would give Tommy something to do in his new role because I havent seen many loans arranged so far and seems he is being paid for very little.

If you’re good enough you’re old enough.

Oldie, I think he may as well be BUT the last thing on him was that he was in charge of loan deals or something like that. This is probably why there hasn't been a great deal of action on that front!!

if we let Hanlon go and sign Clarke i'd be ripping up my season ticket if only they'd been sent out!
