I'm glad we didn't sign Gunter.
He's been average at best in this division for years.
He's now into his 30s, probably on a largish wage and would have been looking for a 2 year contract which I wouldn't have been happy about.
We needed to bring some younger players in desperately.
We had comfortably the oldest squad in the league last season - half of them over 30 and approaching the end of their contracts - we've seen with Sol Bamba how quickly player performance can drop off a cliff post 30 - he was probably our best player not too long ago. Now he's just eating up a section of the wage bill.
Signing Gunter would just be building up more problems for next summer
