They may have been the most successful sides our club has ever been but these are players who despite being excellent for us were past their peak. Equally some utter cloggers have been brought into the club in order to provide experience, Speedie, Dixon, Ripley etc.
I would rather leave this type of transfer policy to the likes of QPR. Again though, I can understand why it would be exciting, it would certainly be interesting to see if he can cut it in the premier league, even if it is at the age of 37.
