striker Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Give me strength! He's 36 and played on average around 20 odd games a season over the last few seasons. Plenty of better options available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beauchief Owl Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Whatever the reasons for letting Hutch go, you can't make out a case for a 36 year old Cahill to replace him IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamworthowl Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 As you grow older you reach a certain point where no amount of experience and know how makes up for the lost physical ability. Judging by the amount of games Cahill has played in the last 2-3 seasons, I think he’s well past that point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shezzas left peg Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 If he's willing to come for peanuts and we give the lad Brennan a chance this season along with a couple of younger CBs signings it would make sense as we won't have much experience at the back with leadership and organising skills. As I said though the deal would have to make sense if he did decide to drop down to league 1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows what he would want paying. He will have earned a lot of money whilst playing for Chelsea and may decide to play for another club on say 3k a week, just so he can carry on playing.

Admittedly I was still faster than a lot of the players on the pitch but my brain was convinced I could get to passes and tackles that I would easily have gotten to in my 20's. I couldn't get anywhere near them, the legs just don't have it in them any more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fpowl Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 At his age he’s achieved everything he’s going to achieve in his career would a return to his boyhood club for a promotion challenge to end his career be out of the question? I don’t think so, gets him back home and ticks a few boxes it comes down to Cahill himself can he get more money playing at a higher level, maybe Or moving back to Sheffield, playing for his club and possibly getting them promoted be a higher motive? I don’t think it’s unrealistic, season long contract with another option maybe. Obviously from our part it all comes down to finances and in his part that maybe an option theres no long term plan there but any league one club would benefit having Gary Cahill in the changing room and around the place short term and if we’re bringing in a few young defenders like that tucker and co that have all played lower level in training and playing along Cahill would do wonders for their development and setting them up to playing with us a higher level 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0114 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I’d take Cahill in a heart beat but just don’t think it’s realistic. He will likely have better options such as moving abroad. He’s just played a part of a promotion to the PL and his 2 years prior to that he was part of a very solid Palace side. I doubt his ability has nosedived the way some are suggesting. If Rotherham can get promoted with a 36 year old Richard Wood in the heart of their defence then I’m sure Sheffield Wednesday can with a 36 year old Gary Cahill. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Terry packed up he's been sucking his thumb warming benches and picking up a right packet ...

Woodyowl450 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Christ you could say get Messi in on here and some people would still say no alongside something sarcastic about squad age. clearly a no brainer if he actually wanted to come, which I'm sure he doesn't.
