Sol (who I wish can come back to CCFC in some capacity - just not as a first choice centre back) is 36 and recovering from injuries and serious illness. I can understand his wish to carry on playing but.... but! Kadeem Harris went backwards at Wednesday last season (I thought it was a mistake to release him at the time, and he had a good first season with the Owls) and seems to have some baggage with his father-agent to complicate things. Mendez was a major loss for us, but after getting a chance with Boro last season he didn't get back to his previous standard. Pato is a wild card with attitude - maybe a good signing, maybe not, but no manager will really know what to do with him - unless it is jack of all trades bench warmer.
This. All seem like decent blokes, all capable of doing a job on their day. Just not week-in, week-out anymore. Not the way forward for me.
