    FFS, you’re relentless aren’t you. Did you get up that early or have you been up all night looking for anything that can be construed as negative towards the club. Do yourself a favour and have a day off.

    It's proper odd behaviour to send a private message to an ex player asking them to come back, and then of course, they've copied JAQ into the subsequent post on twitter, giving her grief.

    The best bit is, it's not even a player we need.

    He's 33.
    Still got 1 year on his contract at Rapid Vienna.
    Played every game for them last year.
    Has been on the bench every game this year.
    He's 33.

    33 isnt that old. Its not many years back that we had half a team around that age. If he's good enough he's old enough also applies at the other end of the spectrum. I've.no.idea what his form is like but if hes as good as he was first time around, he'd make a superb captain to organise the young lads like Lopata and Shepherd. He did a great.job mentoring Mads.

    Our board will not buy a 33year old.
    I'd question why he's gone from ever present to on the bench every game? I don't know if he's been injured in the close season, they've brought someone else in, or it's down to his form. Cba doing that amount of research.

    Kyle walker, Jordan Henderson and Keiren Tripper are all born within 4 months of Sollbauer, they're all currently in the England squad.

    Here's a list of premier league players who have played this season who are older than Sollbauer

    Antonio
    Basham
    Cork
    Dawson
    Gueye
    Lallana
    Kouyate
    Mee
    Milner
    Neto
    Ogbonna
    Olson
    Perisic
    Ream
    Rodriguez
    Silva
    Steele
    Tomkins
    Walker
    Ward
    Willia
    Young
    Zanke

    And a list of championship players who have played this season and are older than Sollbauer
    Ruddy
    Peltier
    Vardy
    McFadzean
    Begovjc
    Adomab
    Howson
    Pieter's
    Gregory
    Naughton
    King
    Hogg
    Jugkiewicz
    Colback
    Barnes
    Gayle
    Livermore
    Bannan
    Albrighton
    Kelly
    Allen

    And league 1
    Davies
    Pratley
    Keogh
    Jerome
    Jacobson
    McCleary
    Huntington
    Friend
    Bradford
    Morrison
    Garner
    Carayol
    Bennett
    Carroll
    Forsyth
    Wilson
    Button
    Sinclair
    Vokes
    Waghorn
    Rhodes
    Bennett


    That's 66 players older than Sollbauer who are currently playing in England at the level of league 1 or above. Not unused players who happen to have contracts but players actively playing games this season.

    I'm not saying we should have signed him, I've tried to avoid making much comment on our transfer activity this summer but the idea from someone above that at 33 he's too old is absolutely stupid.

    Hmm.

    Seems like some young uns can't wait to get away and some old uns want to come back. That gives both happy clappers and tinpotters something to chew on.

    That’s always been the case with most clubs though hasn’t it? Older players looking for 1 last pay check and younger, up and coming players wanting to better themselves.

    That's about 60 players better than him, too.

    It's also very possible, highly almost, that it's all b.llocks.

    The internet is great. You ploughing through websites counting players older than 33. Mint.

    You've provided a list of players over the age of 33 that kind of backs our owners policy. Of those outside the Prem, well, even some in the Prem, most of them are crap has beens on daft wages.

    I'm confused, didn't we win yesterday and haven't we kept 2 clean sheets in the last 2 games?

    It's also incredibly early to say but we're only 3 points off top. Sollbauer was a fantastic player for us but he's 33 now and there's no way we would be signing him again due to our M.O.

    This is like when fans used to beg for Hugo Colace to come back and play for us even though he was well past his sell by date also.
