The notion of this is insane, feels like we're definitely back in silly season. Can't see it happening any time soon but a bhoy can dream;

Won't happen..
But, he actually wouldn't get in our midfield at the moment.. -
Think he was a great player and still can play at a high level, but not sure there's room for him here now, even if there was any truth in it.

Don't think he's got the stamina and pace he used to have. Not so sure about signing him.

Don't think he fits the midfield we play.
He's quality and a player who would be head and shoulders, technically, above most of our players. But just don't see how he fits in to the midfield trio in the way we play.
He would also command a silly wage I think, that other teams could happily pay.

Never happen but a fun read!

Has more than a whiff of 2+2 = 5.
However he is a joy to watch as a footballer, silky smooth, so for that reason I’d hope there would be something in it. -

Not a team on planet earth is even going to pay even half of his current wages, as all the money sides have zero use for him, the rest, even epl sides aren't going to pay 75k a week for a 33 year old looking for a swan song.
For arguments sake, you hand Utd a formality fee. Say 1-2m. Theyre more interested in getting his wages off the books than recouping a fee.
You pad his wages with a 2-2.5m signing on fee payable in installments , hand him 30k a week on a 2 year contract, that bumps him up to a very respectable 60 odd grand a week. Include CL bonuses, assist bonuses etc etc.
Championship manager financial fuckery yes. But more than doable.
About 6m all in for two seasons. But is he worth it?
The MAJOR issue is where would he play? We're not benching any of our current mids for him, not out of ability, but monetary value. Hatate still has to pump up his value after sliding down the past season or so, Engels just signed for a record fee, captain is unbenchable etc .
Tbh, it smacks of a sevco signing, a billy big baws, financially redundant flex. Or worse, a harkening to the dark days when we let ex epl stars treat Celtic Park like a retirement home, by signing over the hill diddies like freddie ljungberg.
Unless the manager has a real plan for him, and a tactical need for him, i would be saying * no.
Take that 6m, pad it with another 2-3m, go out and get a * LB. Taylor can ride the bench until his contract expires, and Valle is there for cover.
We should be looking at what we need. Not what we want. We're not * sevco. We dont put silk hats on pigs.NakamuraTastic, Buster and Peej like this. -
