there's no substitute for experience at the back.

 

they also aren't that old.

 

if both were free then affordability should not be an issue. it's ambition that will decide the issue really.

 

You say they aren't that old, but Hutton would be over 30 for our top flight return and Bougherra would be 33+.

 

It would be a short term fix if it happened and what the Club really needs to be doing is thinking longer term.

bougherra would only be 32 turning 33 in october. 3 years which is probaby pretty reasonable isn't that short term.

 

but i have no issue with signing younger players.

 

boccanegra was only a little younger for example when we signed him. weir far older of course.

There isn't a major problem for us to be playing aging 30+ defenders if they're good enough, but they are definitely not all of the same standard as David Weir. He was an exceptional player.

I think Davie Weir was 36 when we signed him and Madjid Bougherra turns 32 some time this year. That would be roughly a 4 year difference.
