36? A little old really.

He also partnered Saunders at Bradford :D

Post by: pubteam on June 27, 2012, 02:35:18 pm: Bit disappointed if it is Blake really. I know he's a good player, but he's a bit of a luxury player - I thought we were meant to be going for people who would play at a high tempo, get in the opponents' faces and chase things down.

Post by: rtid88 on June 27, 2012, 03:27:22 pm: Very uninspired by Robbie Blake! Poor goal scoring record and barely any games under his belt for sometime!

Post by: Chris on June 27, 2012, 03:31:02 pm: If used correctly Blake will be an asset in League One. I expect him to get more assists than goals next season.

Post by: DearneValleyRover on June 27, 2012, 03:32:01 pm: Seeing has he played alongside Deano and given his age, could it be that he has been brought in to develop our young striker and possibly lead to a coaching role?
