Understand what you're saying about signing people with a track record of injuries though.
Rarely works out (but when it does it's great - like Reid and Gray)

I'm talking about an age profile
Maybe not a history of injuries
If we bought a 23 year old who's never missed a game in his life then I'm preferring that to a 29 year old who's spent the last 4 years injured
We just then have to make sure he's a good player
But if the 2 players were equal on ability then I bet you the 23 yr old would give us more value for money Previous Message
I could say
defence- we need four players who cdont let people past and can bring the bsll out like becenbauer
a striker who can score 40 a season
wingers who can outspent using bolt
a Pirlo quality passer
a viera stopper
a goalkeeper who is worth of neville
but without names its worthless with all due respect Previous Message
28 year old players with 3 years of injury problems aren't needed
paying a transfer fee for a 30 year old Tomas Soucek is also not the profile of player we need
I'm not naming specific names but top championship players like Palace have done with Wharton, Eze and Olise are what we should be doing
Every player we sign under the age of 23 we have rarely made a loss on even if they didn't do much for us like Kean, Lookman or Vlasic
Players 27+ have ended up being a drain on our resources
Players we buy almost have to be a commodity that we can trade at any time for a profit
We need to buy the next Richarlison like Watford did, the next John Stones, not the knackered aging John Stones Previous Message
name some we do and could get Previous Message
he's played less than 400 mins of Premier League footy this season
in his 3 seasons at Spurs he's played the equivalent of 32 EPL matches Previous MessagePrevious MessagePrevious Message
