Kin ell, 32 is old now?First Ings, now Doucare. What’s the obsession with signing old guys who are looking for one last pet day? Have we learned nothing from the likes of Tim Sherwood?
Hardly an obsession. Just wondered if it's possible we are in for himFirst Ings, now Doucare. What’s the obsession with signing old guys who are looking for one last pay day? Have we learned nothing from the likes of Tim Sherwood?
You need a mix in any team.First Ings, now Doucare. What’s the obsession with signing old guys who are looking for one last pay day? Have we learned nothing from the likes of Tim Sherwood?
Schlupp can do better than us more like. 33 apps for Palace & Celtic this season, I'd take him in a heartbeat on a free.Think we can do better than Schlupp now.
It is official once its confirmed by the club which was yesterday. Are you just choosing to accept rumours are actually fact?
Most of our players have at least two seasons of championship experience. This notion we need to sign experience is a fallacy now. All of our starters are experienced, established championship playersYou need a mix in any team.
Doucare is out of our league but Frank signed Thiago Silva when was over 35 so he clearly values experience as well as youth.
It’s such a ridiculous suggestion isn’t it. He’s not going to drop his wages by 40K a week to play for us60k a week Doucoure will not be coming to us![]()
How many have experienced getting promotion from the championship ?Most of our players have at least two seasons of championship experience. This notion we need to sign experience is a fallacy now. All of our starters are experienced, established championship players
Signing guys in their 30s and breaking the wage structure is not the way to do it either. Only the parachute wankers and the clubs with wealthy owners offer the wages these 30 something players would want.How many have experienced getting promotion from the championship ?
No one suggested it was ….Signing guys in their 30s and breaking the wage structure is not the way to do it either. Only the parachute wankers and the clubs with wealthy owners offer the wages these 30 something players would want.
Maybe if we can persuade Luis Binks to help subsidise the deal?It’s such a ridiculous suggestion isn’t it. He’s not going to drop his wages by 40K a week to play for us![]()
There is a place for proven quality with the right leadership skills coming towards the end of their careers …. Brighton have constantly done this … Milner, Wellbeck; lallana etc ….
Yeh you don't want to end up with a squad riddled with overpaid old mercenaries, but there's definitely something to be said for getting one carefully selected one in. Usually prefer the older heads in centre mid, not sure why.Our highest championship finish up until recent success was inspired by Dennis Wise.
He was so unique really, I wonder if Milner could still do it at our level?Our highest championship finish up until recent success was inspired by Dennis Wise.
Who suggested it? Weirdo I just wondered if anything in it fucking hell.It’s such a ridiculous suggestion isn’t it. He’s not going to drop his wages by 40K a week to play for us![]()
Anything in what?Who suggested it? Weirdo I just wondered if anything in it fucking hell.
Doucoure leaving Everton and being formally managed by lampard at Everton. Wondered if possible link up again at cov perhapsAnything in what?
Always rated him, maybe it just went stale at the baggies and he needs a fresh start, tricky and quick so would add to the attacking areasDianganga released from West Brom, could add competition in the attacking areas
Fair enough. Lashing out at him as you made a mistake was a bit uncalled for though!Doucoure leaving Everton and being formally managed by lampard at Everton. Wondered if possible link up again at cov perhaps
Clearly not based on wages and the article where he slams lampard.
Lol he said I was obsessed with signing oldies and then said I suggested doucoure as a signingFair enough. Lashing out at him as you made a mistake was a bit uncalled for though!
If we can get him on say maximum 8/10k/wk would be a decent dealDianganga released from West Brom, could add competition in the attacking areas
I think we need to be looking for better players. Not that he is bad, but wingers and forwards (given the systems reliance on them) need to be where we invest in real quality Not padding out the squad.If we can get him on say maximum 8/10k/wk would be a decent deal
I agree but as an experienced player in this division and backup to Saka on a cheap wage it would be a good idea if we cant get other targets like maybe Dolan or something (not saying we’re in for Dolan just a thought)I think we need to be looking for better players.

Towards the end of the window I would agree. Maybe I am being foolishly optimistic but I am hoping we will sign players who are noticeably better than what we have I.e. Grimes was clearly a cut above Eccles, Allen etc in the role he plays for us than anyone else at the club.I agree but as an experienced player in this division and backup to Saka on a cheap wage it would be a good idea if we cant get other targets like maybe Dolan or something (not saying we’re in for Dolan just a thought)
