Please talk me through the science of 'odds against him being good enough for most of that'. I assume you have facts and figures to back up the insinuation that a player drastically drops off physically from the ages of 28-31. Explain.....

Or are you just talking mumbo jumbo tripe again? He is 28, stop talking like he is 40. He scored 23 league goals whilst not looking fit, impressive isn't it. Imagine if he were fit, be like having Alan Shearer. All whilst playing in a team at the bottom end of the league, so he would get fewer chances than many other strikers.

Respectfully, sometimes, you talk utter utter utter crap.

Gru, you are the first person I've ever come across who should support an academy team. Just the academy team. You would love it.

Seriously for next season the work should have been done. The players stats, the likely cost, the avilability and their agents name.

Could he take his work to Swanseas? They're in a much better position and will be signing players to go up whilst we'll be signing players to avoid going down.

I’m with gru on this one, 392 games 92 goals all in lower league, this is his best season by far big risk in the Championship.

Gru didn't have an issue with his goalscoring record or ability. My issue with his comment was that it was about his age and apparent lack of fitness despite being fit enough to score 23 goals.

That's where I dispute his talk as nonsense in part. If people think he won't be good enough then fine. But to dismiss him because he is 'too old' at 28 and unfit when clearly not is stupid.
