Dominic Matteo

[howard85]

Has just been released by Stoke.

I think he could do a good job for us, versatile defender/midfielder, bags of experience, couple of years left in him maybe?

Possibly a bit injury prone though.

50/50 as whether or not to think this is a good idea....

[Alex C]

He'll sign for someone like Cheltenham.

[Tutts]

I thought he had retired or was dead.

[Rich]

I share a similar thought train to Tutts.

Would be a terrible signing! If he was half decent wouldnt stoke have signed him for an extra for cover

He was captain was he not? Not a very cover-like role.

Seriously, we should stop looking at 34+ year-old players, and invest in some more players like Cohen and Wilson - potential and not too expensive! Once a player is past 32ish, they are only going to get worse, and more importantly, slower. We need players who can improve with the club, not pass us going in the opposite direction.

[Holt Agogo n Tyson]

No thanks.

[Randy Bumgardener]

He was crap on football manager

[Anatoli]

Too old.
Would prefer Sheringham or Collymore.

First rule in football:

NEVER, EVER pay money for a 30-year-old-plus player unless he is out of the top drawer, and then give him a ONE YEAR contract only.

How many over 30's players have we signed who have been complete shite in the past 5 years?

The list is too numerous to go into detail, but I'll start with Eaden, Holt, Lockwood etc.

But unfair to label Lockwood in that vain as well seeing as we very rarely saw him on the pitch but I see what your getting at and no a hole in Calderwood's head would be a better signing than Domonic Matteo

He's been released, so we wouldn;t be paying money for him.

Lockwood was harsh - he's hardly played for us. Eaden was shit. Holt was good in his first season.

Although I'm not sure about Matteo. We do need a bit of experience though.

[Monk De Wally De Honk]

He'll end up manager of somewhere like West Brom

[Daniel]

old holt came in with this reputation of having three lungs. More like three fags

[Brolin]

Are you getting him confused with Roberto Di Matteo?

[Monk De Wally De Honk]

oh bollax, i knew i shouldnt have had that last leffe

[Col]

Dominic Matteo is STILL playing? I thought he'd ran off to the circus.

[Ravi]

Has just been released by Stoke.

I think he could do a good job for us.

Turnstile operative? Matchday Steward?
