First Signing Wayne Bridge?

Not sure about this at all. Seems we will be continue our very successful transfer policy of giving one last pay day to 30+ year old players

Good signing despite his age. Was in C'ship team of the year if memory serves, and had a great season. Yes please.

 

Don't be too down if you end up with him, he did a great job at Brighton. Very solid defensively, and got a few assists too. He was one of Brighton's best players really.

 

Another one coming for one final payday before they retire.

 

Looks like he wants him and Tony doesnt and Harry is threatening to leave if he doesnt get him.

I hope he ****s off ASAP rather than saddling us with more football OAPs.

 

We haven't learned a thing have we.

 

I guess it depends on his wages as its a free. If he comes at a sensible cost and can help us bounce back then yes please, it was a vulnerable position last year. As a mercenary on huge wages no thanks.

 

Sadly, doesn't look like it. Perhaps give HR the benefit of the doubt, let him bring in his couple of freebies as long as the wages are average, then if we have a poor start get rid early days.

I get the impression that TF wants to adopt a different approach as he has clearly learnt from being taken as a free spending mug. If HR can't handle that then he needs to do the honourable thing.

 

I was told he was on 10k p/w at Brighton, with the rest of his wages subsidised by Man City. I think it is 90k total.

Be happy to get him at 10k p/w - saw him several times last season, was class in Championship.

 

Oh the irony eh!

 

The difference is his contract is now up, wed have to sign him ourselves and how much do you think hed drop from 90k?

 

Exactly this. If he was willing to come in and play for a sensible wage and contract length then yes, but I can see us forking out another 50k a week as he is a top top player and didn't have a transfer fee

 

Far too young for us, we will give him a chance when he reaches 30

 

Would do well. Seemed 'hungry' enough at Brighton. Traore is not a left-back as long as I have a hole in my arse, especially not in the pissing rain on a Tuesday night in Barnsley.

 

He's a better LW than hoilett than though.

 

I was about to agree that he was too old and post a "here we go again" rant. I then remembered that Nelson was our best player last year. If we could get him on just a one year deal, probably worth a punt.

I don't doubt that, but I have little hope for either.
