Our regular midfield Lee 31, Hutchinson 30 and Bannan 29 is old by normal football standards We need to back that up with a bit of energy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did people seriously think it was anywhere near that ? Last year of his contract , let’s be honest it’s probably not even £1M cracking signing to be honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our regular midfield Lee 31, Hutchinson 30 and Bannan 29 is old by normal football standards We need to back that up with a bit of energy We've literally just witnessed a side get promoted playing high energy football with pretty much the same 11 all season that consisted of midfielders aged 28,28 and 33, two strikers aged 31 and 33 wing backs aged 29 and 27 and a marauding centre back aged 31. The other 2 outfield players are centre backs aged 25 and 26. Give it a rest with the we need young legs bull. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now wether you/we think we overpaid for him means nowt really,it was what it was,he has become a better player at swfc since he signed,Even if we did agree to sell him,i'd guarantee it won't be for less than wednesday paid for him.

We did for 20 times as much as that. Since then he’s gone from a player who had a bit of promise to someone who is scoring goals and making them, you can see the market yourself for how much players like that go for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swfc-dan Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Know barely anything about Luongo. Not suprising given he was at QPR who are a nothing team. Is he an upgrade on Hutchison, or just decent compeition whenever Hutch is out. Does raise questions over Joey's future with us if he's yet further down the pecking order.. May as well move him on.

From what I've seen of him he isn't a direct comparison to Hutch, Lee or Bannan. Instead, he has some of the qualities of each of them. Can tackle, gets up and down the pitch and capable of playing a bit. Decent option for us IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Average age of our current recruits, plus our suspected targets, is 25.6 years old. I’ve not included the 3rd choice cheapo GK as he’s obviously emergency cover. Surely you don’t think that’s too old? Edited August 7, 2019 by oh_weds_we_love_you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loves a tackle and is a 110% man in the sense of similarities to Hutch, I’d argue there slightly different players though and may even compliment each other Pelupessy is a limited footballer but he could be useful to bring on in place of tired legs, doesn’t do a terrible job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
