Yes please but absolutely no chance in our probable new young and English approach

Wages would be the next problem

Great player, but, even at that age, his wages would be too high.

He is a class act and would still at 36 be a brilliant addition to our defence.

No way.

We'll look like one of those tinpot Prem teams who sign big name pensioners just to get the media attention, shirt sales and the chance to say "so and so played for us".

Bloom wants us to be bigger and better than that.

Upson, Bridge, Vicente. Etc.
Can only imagine Ali J was signed purely to attract attention in Iran. Certainly hasn't been to improve the team.

Last season definitely. Who knows what next season might bring when he's told to go forward?

If he wants to play in the Premier League, it will be for a bottom half team at his age.

..... and, if he wants to play at all, it will have to be on a wage that the club can afford/are prepared to pay, not on the pay he may have got when in his prime. If he wants to play football (which he won't be able to do at all for ever) he might have to support himself partly on what's left of the massive wages he has been lucky enough to be paid when he was in his prime.

......and if by any chance he's blown the lot on horses, hookers and cocaine (not that I'm suggesting that he has), then £20 or £30K a week would probably be a better bet than bankruptcy and homelessness.
