Any truth in this one? Looks a good player in league one.

Bodin is a decent player indeed, but i doubt he fits the system or style of player we seem to be looking for. Winger firstly but also age profile in his area of the pitch . As i do not think Hogg will be starting every game next season for example. If you want a physically robust, organised hard working team, the age has to be taken into account/ physical profile.

At the risk of sounding like a certain other poster, I remember mentioning him about 10 years ago when he was at Bristol Rovers before he went to Preston. Good player, not sure he’s what we need now, but certainly better than some players we’ve seen in recent years.

Padding out the squad with seasoned League one players on free transfers isn't the worst idea in fairness. He could do a job definitely.

A Tommy Miller signing? He’s got good numbers at this level, bagged 9 times last season, and offers an option as a 10 as well as an alternative system to the preferred 3-5-2. Plus experience and a recent promotion under his belt. As a squad option, there have been worse ideas for a season.

Seriously lacks pace but is technically very good at this level. A Gary Roberts type and every squad can do with one of those

Hogg and our two Centre backs give us all the age we need and it sounds like we are in for May as well so we should be careful on the number of players we bring in over 30.

We don't want an aged team with a lack of pace and stamina. Wenger was always dubious about renewing contract for players over 30 and prefered to limit these to one year. The danger being that you get left paying wages to players like Rhodes and Ward well after they they should be playing further down the ladder. |

So going on your logic, you would turn your nose up if we signed Ronaldo, Messi or modric who are both mid-late 30s |

There are always exceptions when we are linked to a Ronaldo, Messi or modric I may well reconsider. Having seen Ward and Rhodes hanging around has been enough for me. |

Ward & Rhodes are poor examples, though Rhodes did well last season in this league. If you get a few players in their early thirties who are still fit and effective, and very experienced, it can make a big difference. Better than our previous 'buy them for the B team then stick them in the first team and wonder why we struggle'. I do agree you need youth as well but we have quite a bit of that in the existing squad. |

I do agree you need youth as well but we have quite a bit of that in the existing squad. i did say in my original post :- "we should be careful on the number of players we bring in over 30." we have two centre backs and Hogg well over 30, we are being linked with Billy Bodin and Alfi May both over 30. Nothing settled as yet but that could be half the outfield team being over 30 and we may yet bring in more. So as I said we should be careful how many players we bring in over 30 and how long they will stick around drawing a wage. |

If promoted to the Championship we can,t have a team of over 30,s,or relegation will surely follow.

Just an observation mate, I was thinking about the wages for long term older players. I wouldn't imagine we're signing them on long-term deals. Maybe 3 years for May, taking him to 33, but that would be it. I'd be looking at Bodin for 12 months, like we did with Tommy Miller. By hook or by crook, we need to get back up. That will, by necessity, mean we're bringing players in with a short-term goal in mind. If there's a few over-30s there, then so be it. If they're leavened by youth - and our only signing to date is only 24, so a really good age for continued development while being an established performer - then there's no issue. |

Yes as long as it's a good blend, if we can keep hold of our better players then the squad will be already well placed for the championship. Assuming we can get back at the first attempt which won't be easy by any stretch. |

I'm now in my 50s but I've never been as fit. I've completed 3 marathons my first being 2019 numerous half marathons and 10ks. I could easily run for 90 plus minutes probably as quick as a lot of 20 year olds. But before you sign me up..... I'm shit at football |

Footballers who should be fit throughout their playing years do not get any quicker though, just look at Ward and Rhodes. some over 30 players are OK but if at least half our first team is over 30 then I will be concerned. |

Started running after it cleared up. Was going 10k three times a week and thought I was as fit as I’d ever been. Played a testimonial game and couldn’t walk for a week. Football is total different thing |

Was out of favour at the end of the season and on the bench for most of it. If we do sign him hopefully it's just as a squad player.
