33 is quite seasoned for a centre-forward.

Granted, some players age better than others. The player in question here hasn't aged particularly well at all. The key part there was "long past his best". As you well knew.

        The only way they will sign him is if they dont come and watch him play (NCFC) - DiscoDaleGordon, Dec 20, 11:53:17
        
        NB: Seeing a player play is often key to forming an opinion on him. (n/m) (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Dec 20, 11:55:54

        No (NCFC) - Gerald C Creosote, Dec 20, 13:17:57
        
        Don't you think they will look at his injury record and goal scoring prowess... (NCFC) - Brom, Dec 20, 11:54:05
        
        I don't know what they'll do, I was just guessing that they might want him back there (NCFC) - pants, Dec 20, 11:55:26

        33 is quite seasoned for a centre-forward. (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Dec 20, 12:00:28
        
        I'd imagine they'd rather spend the money on Lee Hendrie... (NCFC) - Brom, Dec 20, 11:56:07
        
        Haven't stoke called Hendrie a pillock recently or something? (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Dec 20, 11:58:08
