Anyway, Costa was signed for freakish reasons as above, and we were in the Premiership, and he was an experienced international who was yet to achieve his greatest days as a professional. Harry Arter he...wasn't
Right, so we're now looking for anyone aged over 31 who then didn't sign for us. So we're trying to find an example of a loan player who did well, but not well enough we wanted him permanently. I'm out.
Okay, well to be unambiguous, I mean anyone aged 31 or more
What if it was a leap year?
Look, stop quibbling and think of some examples, we have one player thus far and he signed in 2009
Shinnie?
There we go. Wasn't hard was it
Not by your original rules no We've got three now.
How many have been that bad? Have we even had that many? I can only think of Fanni, Hulse and Tudgay (on top of Arter). I don't think Fanni and Hulse were that bad, Tudgay was a disaster.

This could be an important window for next season. A small fee for a player now and an 18 month contract might be more cost effective than trawling the free agent market in the summer.
Personally I think we need to recruit now for next season rather than a late promotion bid.

(I assumed he signed at the start of 2001/2 which would have made him 29, but maybe he signed during the season)
And he was over 30, he didn't sign on his birthday...

Was a shame he was so broken - Then again dont think he was a loan signing

There’s zero in between. Tick Tock Gallen.

I'm going with the 12th after a drab 0-0 draw at Crewe.
