They were the good old days. Perkins and Jones in CM for Rochdale, ALF and Dagnall up top.

37, though? Crikey. Didn't realise he was that old

Bish is 37 and could easily still play in L1.

I'm not saying Perkins couldn't either or would be a bad signing, I just mean I didn't realise he was that old.

Completely underwhelmed if we sign a 36 year old midfielder. Last few years has shown us midfield engine far outweighs someone who can stand still and pass a bit. Hopefully just smoke and mirrors.

Confirmed that we have signed Ryan Bowman for an undisclosed fee (probably about 10k)

How can you leave Dannie Bulman out of this. Oldest player in the league and still good enough to play week in week out.

Last season we could’ve filled half this team ourselves.

Neal Bishop has taught me to not judge a player by his age. Best midfielder i've seen at our place for years.

Not quite sure what Tranmerewhite is expecting. I'd be happy with Perkins, experienced pro who seems to have had a fall out with Keith Hill.

Never heard of him. Where does he play??

Edit: CM? We'll have to go 4-3-3 and stick Ellison on the left up top in that case.

Given he’s supposedly one of Rochdales highest earners; someone that’s 10 years younger.

Mellon and Palios make a big deal out of continuity within the squad, not going to get any from a signing like this and if it’s a short term signing, is he really going to blow the division away?

Anthony Kay has been generally excellent for us at 36 in midfield if struggling for a winger strangely against Lincoln we played Danny Pugh at 36... a lost 6-2!

Ah damn, Kay is actually younger than all those 3CMs. Older than Shackell though, can he play CB?

Looks like Juan Luque will be leaving when his short term deal expires next week.

Was worth a look given his record in a lower division but he's hardly been involved here.
Confirmed now.

We've got several players on trial at the moment (don't know who), and a slightly longer list of players made available for transfer. Campbell looking to make his mark on the squad in the next couple of weeks.

David Forde can give old Barry 2 or 3 years. He was 39 last month and looks as if he's in his 50s.
Age is what gets you into this starting lineup, so sorry to Roche but he is dropped. If we can't find a LB we might have to go 5-3-2/3-5-2 and play Ellison at left wing back and Kay in defence.

We've been linked on a Exeter page on Twitter with Lee Holmes.

Would be a decent signing and was born locally to us. Not sure where he'd fit in mind.

He can and mainly is a centre back but useless there now so we shoved him in midfield as an enforcer type.

Matt Taylor and Marc Richards are our old boy contributions. Taylor surely slots in at LB?

Interesting one. I kind of get the feeling that Taylor will let Holmes leave when his deal’s up.

He’s a classy player, no doubt, as you could see from his strike Vs Yeovil on Boxing Day but his injury record is poor. He must have missed an average of 15 games per season since signing and he’s now into his 30s. As you say he’s a local lad so this may have some legs and it would be a good signing all in all.

Yep suspect it’s around that amount. Welcome Ryan. He’s only 27 so still hasn’t hit his peak so hopefully a good signing.
