Quote: vastman "You mean a has been like Finn or Sykes or many more. Do we never learn?
The great Toppo left us at the so called passed it end of his career and went on to to do rather well at Hull.
Can we stop this. A player is a good player regardless of age and if we need a certain player and he’s over thirty so what.
Enlighten me why 25 - 27 is so special? There is no evidence of this whatsoever.'"
I'm not saying he's right but there is a benefit to bringing in a player nearer to the 25-27 mark and that is longevity. Both Finn and Sykes whilst great signings could only offer us a year or two on the field, Jacob Miller however gave 7 years to the club and enabled a bond to be created within the team.
I'm really not bothered who it is we sign, as long as we do indeed sign someone and they play for the shirt. Something all three players above did regardless of their age.
