The mag player on loan?

Rather not, goes on like a dick head, me dead gran could run faster than him and he is a liability when it comes to yellow cards and he is 32 so not the type we thankfully are going for at the minute
Don't particularly like him as a player, or the idea of taking players off their hands, but on the point of him being 32, the matchday squad on Sunday had nine players 23 or under. Only three 30 or over.

Given Neil's past criticism of relying on younger players I don't think we'd be avoiding signing older players, just that like any other signing it would need to represent value. If that value doesn't come from resale it would be in no fee and/or not being tied to their wage past their usefulness.

A good player is a good player and broadly I’d welcome them regardless of who they play for unless they are obviously arseholes.
 
Forgive me, I don't follow footy particularly these days but what about Stokoe, Shackleton, Moncur, Robson, Waddle, Alan Kennedy....and probably tons more. All that lot played for Newcastle before playing/managing Sunderland.

Interesting you don't include players like Chopra, but yes they all required the gravy stains to be expunged, the problem is the blood stains are a lot harder to get out.

Give you that list but Alan Kennedy was absolutely shite for us. One of my all time WTF is he doing players.
