Uh oh. 35 years old.

How's he going to score gone on the "Leg-gone-ometer"?

Oh, dear. 35. The "legs have gone" brigade will have a field day.

Down to a couple of bloody and bruised stumps. Surprised if he can move without a mobility scooter

Wild loves an older midfielder

Comes with some great reviews from Tranmere fans. A fair few man of the matches last season

Someone in the Furness Prem that’s younger and could do the same job…..

Nice to see everyone giving him stick and hasn’t kicked a ball yet.

Tranmere fans seem to be disappointed he’s leaving which is always a good sign. By a few of their accounts, still has “bundles of energy” despite his age. Looks an excellent signing.

36 league games for a near play off team, yep, legs must have gone 🤔

The legs have gone stuff is just a jokey reference to some previous posters fear of over 30s. Nobody on this thread is saying it as a criticism.

Welcome to Barrow AFC, Sam! Looks like Wild is definitely establishing a proper squad, with every player we’ve signed looking like a great coup. Time will tell, but it’s a good sign that every team we’ve signed players from has been disappointed they left.

Age is a number, This lad has a duracell battery for an engine & is full of running & was offered terms by Tranny, So this sounds a good short term signing, Great competition in the middle now & should be a good help to young Gotts & Stevens & Roo, White etc vying to start games.
