Wednesdaylip73 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Sorry if it's been mentioned but reports are he's willing to drop into championship, but wages are £60.000 a week so is it too much of a gamble for one season even though no transfer fee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i used to be sc_owl Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Wouldn't want him anywhere near this club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonbones Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Well, to be honest i'd think about it. That goes against the grain of what's posted in this thread so far, but the honest truth is that I believe he would provide something we could not get otherwise. Drive, commitment, leadership, and in all honesty a reputation. The reputation alone could inspire others on the pitch. You might note I haven't said things such as vision, his tackling ability, speed etc. I do think age and experience has a place in this game still. The price is high though, those quoted wages are quite something for 2nd tier football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papalazarowl Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Good player... but past it now... can't do 46+ games in this league... and if Villa (or whoever) signs him it's a major expensive gamble! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither could Viv Anderson when we signed him. He still had a value and helped bring on a number of players, including a certain Chris Bart-Williams who was a totally different player to Anderson, but they just gelled and had a mentor/student type relationship from the off.

AwokenGiant Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 (edited) I wouldn't count him out just yet, I think he's still got a few years left in him. Putting aside his integrity off the field, on it - he's a colossal leader who would add quality to any championship dressing room.

This is a good comparison. Viv was a great player for us. He was a leader on the pitch and like you say a mentor to a few lads off the pitch. He scored a few vital goals as well. I could see John Terry performing a similar role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruscol85 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Anyone saying hes crap or wouldnt want him is absolutely clueless. Absolute class CB at this level guarantee it. And if that sounds daft ask yourself this... Terry or Loovens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
