Reports indicate we, and several other clubs, are interested in signing Jagielka. As he's 34 and, therefore ages with Jonas, I don't really understand our interest here. I know TP values experience but why sign a replacement who's the same age as the fella he's replacing? By all accounts Dawson acquitted himself well on Saturday, admittedly against a poor attack, so should we not have three central defenders comprising Evans, Dawson and another younger player? Sign Jagielka, a player who has lost most of his pace, and we are in the same position in 12 months time, looking for a young replacement. Should we not bite the bullet now and sign a young, less experienced but talented centre back?
