If he comes on a deal to the end of the season then fine, useful backup to Browne but if he is looking for a two or three year deal (which I suspect he might be) then it must be a problem (especially if we get promoted).
I don’t see a 34 year old offering that much more over a three year contract than a series of Premiership season-long loans wouldn’t do just as well (and maybe better as Daniels ages); Who knows, we may even develop a left back from the our own Academy (didn’t Haunstrupp come that route ?)
Remember when we signed some old stagers...What were their names now.
Oh yes, Steve Stone, Paul Merson, Kanu.
How did that turn out?
While we are at it, lets sign Marc Pugh and Simon Francis. We could nearly have the whole back four of Bournemouth's PL side then.
