gbandit Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Archie, you need to get yourself an avatar. Roger's winning this simply because I enjoy his avatar Anyway, not even sure what we are arguing about anymore. People seem to think Lille have to sell him and we hold all the cards. They dont. And they seem comfortable with keeping him. Means f*** all that he wants to come here, see the Modric saga last summer for proof of that. Cough up Mike! I'd say the Modric saga was quite unusual. It's really rare that a player will stay in those circumstances. I really don't know where we are with the transfer, no one does but the player wants to come here. There's still a lot of window left and as long as no one else comes in, I really feel like he's ours Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Archie Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 If we give him a five year contract .. In his final game of that contract hell be 31.... hardly old. Exactly and besides most fullbacks with good engines and he has a fantastic engine go to around 34 or 35, the whole he's approaching 30 or he's past 30 so he's suddenly not good any more mentality really annoys me. In fact off to the football pet hates thread i go ! Getting a bit carried away there but Could be could be! We ganna be the next Milan like Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlelunchbox Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 As someone who is 41 i think all you fuckers talking about 27 being old should get bent over my obviously decrepit knee, and be given the thrashing your pappy's should have handed out years ago. No respect you young un's haha obviously applying to footballers only, in terms of a civilian 41 is not old. one of my mates is 43 and is going out with a 21 year old. but thats another story, he's a pervert.

Obviously you can play for as long as you want but we are talking top top level here. He was playing for Madrid in 2007 man, point is fullbacks can go for longer than 25 or 26. Please let's not act like 27 is too old, he would have at least 5 years in him at the top level. The whole he's in second half of his 20s or approaching 30s meaning he's not good enough really annoys me, there's so many examples of players playing at the top level well into their 30s. If we sign Debuchy which i believe we will then he will have at least 5 years at the top level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos was a once in a generation fullback and even he was offloaded at 33-34. Some players peak at 20 and lose their legs at 25-26, others age like a fine wine and even get better with age. Impossible to predict, only ones who know are god and shola. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
