    37 and a free agent. He needs to get down millers on a Friday night.

    I would also add that I have generally good memories of experienced defenders coming in towards the end of their careers.......

    Mark Bowen
    Chris Whyte (he did a great job for us)
    Jorge Costa
    Christian Dailly
    Roger Johnson, Rhys Williams, Gary Doherty.

    Wait.
    Roger Johnson - attitude problem
    Doherty - slowest footballer ever
    Williams - wasn't remotely fit

    Mad signings
    Bonkers. The saddest thing about Doherty is he'd just had a brilliant season for Norwich in L1 where they won the league and I couldn't believe they'd let him go at the end of it. I was really excited to get him in and it turned out Norwich had seen that he was shot by the end of that season and that's why we were able to get him. A real let down that one.

    Johnson did the job in his first spell but bringing him in a year after we'd decided he wasn't good enough having spent the last sixth months playing football in India was insane.
    Doherty and Llera still give me nightmares...

    A while back now, but this made me smile.:

    "Tyrone Mears is expected to face disciplinary action from Derby County after he flew out to Marseille for a trial against the wishes of his employers ......

    The story gained a bizarre twist when it was also reported this morning that Mears had had to climb through a window and crawl past manager Paul Jewell's office at Derby's training ground to collect his boots before sneaking away to meet Marseille officials."

    Sign him for six months.

    Send Wiredu on loan to L1 / L2 for six months and reassess in January.

    very accurate assessment .. I thought just the same at the time

    How many games did he play for West Brom last season?


    Not sure if you said this as a prompt to emphasize it's a low number ?

    But 7 is the score on the doors for last season at WBA after spend 3 seasons in the USA and being away from his 4 children.

    Darren Moore said Tyrone is a very fit lad who looks after his self.
    If Mears is in the last chance saloon at least it has a gym unlike Roger Johnson's which mainly had a selections of various lagers.

    It's 13 years since Dowie tried to sign him. (Jeebus! How time flies!)

    Wasn’t it Billy Davies who was after him to bring him with him from Preston when he was looking at taking over?

    Equally, he played an international friendly for Jamaica, believing he was of Jamaican heritage.

    Turns out his dad was in fact Sierra Leonean and he then asked for his cap to be rescinded by FIFA.

    Absolute banter footballer.

    He may well have done, had he taken the job, but I remember it was Dowie who was on the hunt for a while. In the end it was WHU who got him. I doubt he would've gotten past Luke Young at the time anyhow, & from what my old fading memory recalls, he didn't really make an impact at Upton Park.

    It is on his Wiki page that we were in for him.

    42 year old Darren Purse is sitting by the phone waiting the call from Cafc.

    As he is now coach at Oxford he is suffering from a grating noise in his ear when at work. It's not tinnitus but Robboitis !

    There is a cure for it, get rid of Robinson or find another job miles away.

    To be fair, I don't blame him for trying to climb out a window a crawl past Paul Jewell

    If Bowyer thinks he can still do a job for us at 38 then, provided wages are not precluding us signing someone better, fair enough.

    Well being linked with Charlton hasn’t been good for him... he’s aged 2 years in 4 hours

    I think 39 is still a good age these days. Sign him up.

    Life begins at 40 right? Maybe we'll revitalise his career?

    Agree, people see he is 41 and just write him off but he may still have something to offer

    At 42 he is only marginally older than Buffon, who is still one of the best in the world.

    at 44 he'll only be 6 years behind the current oldest professional player Kazuyoshi Miura, who plays in Japan

    47 was always a good number for Charlton!
