Who cares about age, look at the respective appearances, add in a quota place and probably 50% less salary.

Only thing is Carlos's favour is that he isn't a dickh**d

Sounds like an argument to keep Houghton then. Plays plenty of games, should be cheap if they're your only measures

Would Houghton get into Leighs team.

I have no doubt that someone has told you that.
I just struggle to believe that anyone would actually believe it.

IF this was true (which it’s not), who would sign for us? They wouldn’t even be able to live in some parts of Brough for crying out loud.

It’s clearly not true.
