    Same age as me and I still feel like I could run 100m in 20 secs or cover at least 400m before being sick.

    He is still a whippersnapper.

    i guess i see it as a bit disappointing

    we are leeds utd and surely we should be attracting some of the best young talent around outside the premiership

    just seems a 34 year old is a bit of a let down

    Well, i dont think you will be too disapointed when you see him play a couple of times <ok>

    I obviously know a few Pompey fans who really rate the lad. I think its a bit of a coup considering we are targeting freebies!

    He's EXACTLY what we need! What we really lacked last season was 1. Experience: We often looked lost as we lacked both experience and a real leader (besides Howson who's more a leads by example kind of captain). and 2. A DM.

    Brown is the perfect player to sit in front of the defence and add some steel and experience to the midfield. We were all saying how great a signing he'd be in January, why has that all changed now we don't actually have to spend any money on him?

    Nothings changed Simon, as you said he is exactlly what we need & bloomin good at this level as well. This will enable our 'flair players' to really go for it down the wings. This is the fix we have needed for a a whole season where we have tried to smash square pegs in round holes to fix the glaring problem. Stick a fit Kissa somewhere behind him & we are starting to get a solid team <ok>

    Don&#8217;t blame LIW LMAO.

    He gets blamed enough at the moment LOL

    If hes what we need then fair enough but I don&#8217;t want journeymen ****ers coming in and just claiming a wage from us, one final payday. Cos then I will be ****ed off with this club.

    I dont think we will give anyone there final payday! If that was the case we would have got Bowyer. I believe we offered him 13k & Ipswich weighed in with 21k which turned his head <ok>

    Only thing with Brown is he gets a few cards both yellow & red but i dont mind that in a player if it puts the opposition on the back foot & makes them think twice about 50/50s

    been there and done it and still has the ability. age is but a number, we should all know that.

    35 is piss all. If he has a good injury record then he can run as fast and as far as a 21 year old. It`s more wear and tear issues in pro sport but if he has been looked after by previous clubs then it simply won`t be a problem.

    Look at Marlon Devonish yesterday 10.19 in 100m, if you can do it you can do it, end of.

    thy are the exception not the rule that is the pint

    and as i said before...i hope bucks is right about him, only time will tell

    im not necessarily slagging him as a player

    im saying the tactic of loaning/signing 34 year old seems unambitious to me
