Paul Powers says hello, so does Andy Gray, Peter Reid, and many others! Two years from a top pro is better than ten from a blert! If they are top professionals, we want / need them here pronto!We gave Gareth Barry a three year contract at 33 and we still miss him. Sometimes you need a leader, experience and the right player in the right hole in your team, at the right time to make the whole thing work. Actually that is a pretty apt description of where we are with recruiting in that position right now.
Hes 29, we could well get 4-5 years out of him.

Pay them the money Brands this is killing me.

Might not be as simple as paying the money if the money isn't readily available
Carlo's interview from a while back seemed to indicate the same. He said something along the lines of getting the right profile of player, with ability and winning mentality. He mentioned the age might need to be older.
Definitely we could do with a couple of reliable heads in this team. Allan and Thiago Silva would make a lot of sense in that respect, despite their ages.
The Barry and Milner types play with a level of intelligence that means they can play on for much longer than other players. I'm sure their professionalism goes a long way in that respect too. Unlike the Rooneys who fall off a cliff due to a career of Big Mac's, nights out and smoking.
This in bucketloads. Character and leadership are what is needed on the pitch and what we have been lacking in for years.Carlo wants some experienced leaders. I'm all for that too
Allan on?
