Canadaready 9,437 Posted January 22, 2007 Author Share Posted January 22, 2007 If he were to stroll thru like he did yesterday.....about 4 I was thinking what you were thinking. He didn't look old at all. Maybe it was the hair cut. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Stars Bearette 1 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 nowadays players are playing longer due to the advances in fitness programmes and medical care ...at least one more season I think...it was a relief having him there against Dunfermline.

AmazingWill 0 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Im happy to have him here for the rest of the season and possibly next as back up but any longer than that would be a joke! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayebrox 0 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Richard Gough played to a high level of performance in the Premiership at the age of 39, so I don't see why Weir couldn't compete in the SPL for another couple of years beyond this season if he impresses for the next 6 months.Ok, Gough was a better player than Weir, but the Premiership is stronger than the SPL. I certainly wouldn't want to close the door this early on Weir still being here next season. Lets see how he looks in May, and then decide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dummiesoot 16,122 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I thought Weir is going back to Everton at the end of the season to take up a coaching role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianGer 1 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I said in the close season that we needed our new manager (at that time PLG of course) to come in and sign up some veterans to settle our squad of inexperienced boys. Souness did the same thing, in some cases paying some pretty big fees to attract old guys like Trevor Francis to the squad. Their experience and leadership was invaluable in forming a stronger side. I suspect Weir will easily be strong enough to play into next season and if we get 12 months out of him to strengthen our back line and have Svensson and others learn and grow, it will be well worth it.

Danny 9 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 If Costacurta, one of the greatest defenders of all time is anything to go by, Weir could last 6+ years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvager 498 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Time will tell! Seriously at least one more season IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Artagnan 13,319 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 To be honest I would rather he went at the end of the season. We need to get a reliable centre half partnership going...one that will last us for several years...instead of chopping and changing every season or so due to retirement.We need to need to get the nucleus of a team in place.

californiadreamin52 339 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 We should keep him as a defensive coach and also keep him registered as a player for as long as we can, eventual making his stay permanent, but could prove difficult as he must consider his family who as still down south and may not wish to move back north?..

cooper1989 0 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Seems like the guy has always kept himself is top shape. 36 isn't that old for professional athletes that take of themselves.And Walter will play him in a role where he can succeed. Just the communication aspects of his play should keep playing for us for at least 2 years after this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
