Hi,

with Zamora getting into the twilight of his career and suffering fitness issues and the ability to play a full 90 minutes, if he was available on a pay as you play deal, would you have him back ?

Yes, if he's foolish enough to sign a pay as you play deal.

No.

We are not a retirement home for old footballers!

i cant see any club foolish enough to give him anywhere near the salary hes on at the moment based on his age and his fitness record in the last 2 seasons

my personal opinion is yes id have him back but only on a pay as you play deal, but if it involved a gauaranteed hefty weekly salary then NO

Yes, but he will get better offers than that.
As for being a retirement home for old footballers, if that includes Vicente, Upson and Bridge I reckon having one or two end of career players is no bad thing, so long as you have some youth coming through too.

Exactly, the last two 30+ ex England internationals have been a disaster . . . Oh wait, they were Bridge & Upson! I was wrong. O.K If he'll perform like Bridge at Reading it's a no, anything like Upson last year and it's a yes. Sorted.

I'd take him back on a two year deal. He has been fit since Xmas, people go on about Bobby as if he is some sort of permanent sicknote. He is not a patch on Orlandi or Vicente or maybe even Buckley come to that.....If we sell Ulloa(which of course we will) and got Zamora, we would be stronger in that department of the field.

yes but if we sold ulloa for 6.5 million, would you spend 2 or 3 million on a decent striker to play up front with Zamora, or rotate between CMS, Zamora, plus another decent striker ?

I personally think if Ulloa goes we need to sign 3 strikers. To go along with the keeper, left back, centre half(maybe 2), left midfield and centre midfield and maybe even a right mid as well.

Pay as you play? No such thing exists.

I'd have him back here though, he's a legend.

yes as most of the budget is spent on a large amount of pies for Barber and Berk to gorge themselves on

Peter Ward and Mark Lawrenson are Albion Legends. Wouldn't have them back for next season though. Not having a go, but sometime we simply must move on towards youth and the future.
