I wish I looked as fit as him when I was 37. If we’d signed Cristiano Ronaldo would be saying the same about his age? I think not. I’m excited about this signing
Yay. Fully appreciate the opposing views, and understand the concern. But this pleases me. You can’t have a squad full of unproven lads with no guile, no bol**x. You need a b*st*rd or two. Players who’ve been there and done it. The high press worries are silly. He won’t be leading a press. But he will be scoring daft goals and leading the group when needed. If it doesn’t work out, so be it. Neither did Cosgrove who hasn’t a thousandth of David’s talent.
Better than any striking options apart from DKD, who I doubt will be here at the start of the season. So I’m ok with it tbh, would rather watch him then Watters.
Yes 37 is just a number. Unfortunately it’s quite a big number. However, I’ve heard of him and quite prepared to give the lad a chance
I’m ok with this / much better than the scattergun approach of last couple of season when we’ve ended up with Dallas/Shaw/ Cosgrove / Watters - who none have been any good or hardly even played. a lot of the defences in this division aren’t much better than league 2? He should be able to give us something.
Experience and quality - on the decline but that isn’t an issue. The concern is though that they keep bleating about playing a high pressing game, wanting quick turnovers etc - he’s never been quick and he’s bound to have lost his legs to an extent, so how do those things mix? Left field; but I’m not unhappy per se.
I’m ok with this signing. Quality player. Of course I don’t expect him to play every game, but what a good lad to have in the squad.
Personally i think him and DKD would be a mouth watering prospect two players who have great football brains.
