One of my all-time favorite players, I frankly wouldn't care if he was 67 and with only one leg, he would be a huge asset to the club both on the pitch and off. I would be over the moon if we signed him.
Strongly disagree. Normally I would agree that a player's age is a factor but this is Pirlo we're talking about. Milan wrote him off and he lead Juventus to two consecutive Serie As. Sometimes class trumps everything and this man is class personified. Just look at his beard for Christ's sake!No from me
He would be a liability at his age with the pace of the premiership
Plus his wages would be sky high
We need players in their prime not has beens
If he is leaving there after all these years it is for a reason, not that he wants a challenge but because he is past it, we are a young flowing team on the up not an old peoples home
Look at Davids, we signed him as a legend and with the greatest of respect to him he was bloody awful, he kicked lumps out of people yes but it was like playing with 10 men most time i saw him play

The only place that will ever leave Pirlo ineffective is retirement
Yeah, you're right. I've changed my mind. The guy is world class and there's no way he couldn't possibly add something to the team.
He's a deeplying playmaker so would probably have to be paired up with a DM to give him full freedom. I'm thinking an XI along the lines ofWould absolutely love him for a season. Thinking of him playing the vertical passes to Soldado is truly a thing of beauty. I'm trying to think of how it might all work, should it happen. We'd have Eriksen, Sandro, Paulinho, Pirlo, Dembele and Capoue all vying for 3 spots.
