[Albion] Older ‘experienced pro’ signing?

[Sea Cider]

Donny Van De Beek.

I genuinely think he needs to come to a club like ours to rebuild his career.

Interesting shout

 

[Wozza]

Our style will have him puffing and wear him out.

Ironically, he's only 30 and therefore too young (also too expensive) for our old boys' club.

As an aside, thought this was was interesting. Young players should be made to read this...

Probably would be good for him, but he's exactly the kind of (w)age we won't go for.

 

[Jackthelad]

Ross Barkley If he doesn’t sign for Villa

I feel old reading that! It does not seem long ago he was a talented youth.

None on there for me, thanks (Barkley excepted, but he seems to have been taken already).

 

[El Presidente]

I thought this was going to be a thread for @El Presidente

…and Wayne Rooney

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Do we really need more ageing players?
Surely Dunk, Gross, Milner, Veltman, Welbeck, Steele are enough?
Add in Solly and Webster to that list and surely we have enough experienced players to guide the youngsters?

Unless we're bringing in someone likely to start every game, I' m really not interested in helping another old-stager begin their decline into retirement.

I hate to break it to you, but ...... ALL players, everywhere, are ageing.

Unless you are suggesting we sign Benjamin Button?

 

[Justice]

Dig Pele up, sorted.

Er... I said I posted it as an aside.

Wasn't suggesting that we sign any of them. They're mostly stars who faded a long, long time ago.

Naylor has been fan-faring this move for quite some time now.

I suspect it’ll be announced in June sometime as it seems like a done deal.

It seems that there is a requirement for a centre-back come defensive midfielder in Hürzelerball. A player who can switch between both roles as and when the team require it.

RDZ tried to get Baleba playing this role once or twice but it clearly wasn’t a success. I could see someone like Henderson excelling in this position or even Emre Can.

We’ll probably find out in the next week or so.

Not good for us though. He's been sh1te for about 4 years.

I thought Baleba's best performances for us have been when RDZ used him as a sort-of libero. The home game against Brentford in December springs to mind.

i think that profile is probably van hecke

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Messi

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

It’s going to be Mark Albrighton isn’t it

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Cue five pages of ancient iconic players being posted, including Michael Owen, in another 'hilario' NSC thread, then someone mentions Robert Codner, which leads to another 5 pages of 'hilario' fish related gags, and we all piss ourselves laughing.

 

[dwayne]

Willian is out of contract would 100% take him although Im not sure he's known as a leader.

Johnny Evans would be great.....

 

[Mellotron]

What's Oxlade-Chamberlain upto nowadays? Besiktas, hmm.

Looking at the England squad in 2016 (where we got Welbeck, Milner and Lallana from), Henderson really is the obvious one.

Mentioned Emre Can to my lad - who then pointed out he strated the Champions League final and captains Dortmund
