Assombalonga is an interesting link. I'd have expected an Ahadme style bruiser to play alongside Lavery but Assombalonga isn't that player at all. It's certainly suggest a very different style of play if he signed.
Also, what sort of midfielder is Gardner and does it add fuel to the 'Cousins not wanted' theory?

I really don’t like the idea of signing 30 something players who will be on decent wages. I would say Wessi was the exception rather than the rule & there was no guarantee that what happened would transpire.
That said Lavery, Reyes & Watts are all more in my wheelhouse so I’ll reserve judgement & every United signing will be backed.

They're only early 30s, more players than ever are continuing into their late 30s nowadays. If their legs are shot then we shouldn't touch them but most of the injury prone players we've signed recently have been closer to 20 than 30. Both of them seem to have barely played any football over the last couple of seasons so maybe they're not particularly good signings but signing over 30 isn't necessarily bad

Seems that way yeah. I'm tempted to post a complete cobblers rumour on my twitter, then post it here, see how long before it pops up on a rumour page.
