Sorry but if he was a very good centre back he wouldn’t still be at Stevenage.Braziliance said:

Tbf we had Lloyd Jones so in hindsight ridicule was correct. Not sure if we also had Gillesphey at the time but he’s also proven to be a much better all-round player than Piergianni.Braziliance said:

Carl Piergianni at 33 years old, captain of a table topping League 1 side and putting up consistent numbers, again
Hector
Piergianni
I called he was better than every centre back we had at the time, and it was ridiculed, repeatedly.
There isn't a single centre back we had on our books at the time playing at a higher level now, they can't even get League 2 contracts.
Piergianni might be a Championship player next year, and even if he isn't, it is beyond doubt he is a top League 1 centre back, like I said at the time.Piergianni has certain strengths that work if he plays for a certain style team. He would have been a poor signing for us but he’s great for Stevenage
Piergianni is just a very good centre back, amazing people can't admit it when all the proof is there for them.4 -
Some might say he gave up playing frequently, while still at Charlton.charltonbob said:Didn't Hector give up playing for a year or so to look after his seriously ill Father ?4 -
The more important question is has any player been loaned out as much as Hector - 15 times over the course of his career. Everywhere from Didcot Town to Frankfurt1

If he was at his level of the last 3 years and in his 20s, someone would have gone for him.
We went for Sam Lavelle and he's honestly about 100x better than Lavelle.
Same reason as to why we will likely keep Lloydy when he is good enough to be in a Championship promotion side/play for a bigger club.
You could even apply your logic to Josh Edwards or Kayne Ramsay, how were they playing Scottish div2 and English level 4 when they were Championship ready. If they were in their 30s, it is unlikely we would have signed them.
Certain players peak when they get older is all0
