    Pure speculation, founded on nothing. You've just made that up. Baseless.

    I am in agreement.

    There are plenty of players already playing in the Championship, who are over 30, but we will probably not be able to sign the majority of them. Not due to their age but due to the excessive wages that they will expect.

    There are lots of players in the Premier League who are 30 and they seem to be doing ok, so why shouldn't we be looking at anyone over 30.

    Don't get me wrong, I think our transfer policy should be geared to buying younger players with a potential re-sale value were possible, but you can't beat having some experienced players in the squad.

    I agree completely.

    James Milner has just signed a one year contract extension at Liverpool at the age of 36, and he's less than six feet tall. You really should have a word with Klopp gru to explain to him where he's going wrong.
