I don't think people mean he is too old in the purest sense. For example, if we already had Soucek I suspect people would be fine renewing his contract. I think they mean that a large transfer fee, a signing fee and big wages as a total package...
Looked more like his old self last night I thought, with respect the opposition wasn't the best but still, some driving runs and good tackling back. Future looks bright with Tim and Armstrong coming through.
I thought he was just ok from what I had seen and was underwhelmed when he signed , he’s turning out to be a good player for us, I love his goal against City away especially, the quick thinking to finish like that, great stuff.
I want to see...
