Looks like a great signing. He might be 33 (which is hardly ancient anyway!) but who's to say he's any slower than Pearson??

We'd be lucky to sign anyone else with the pedigree of Collins and Clarke, and i imagine we only managed to get Clarke because of the Slade connection.

No upper age limit on players so it doesn't matter how old they are as long as they are good enough. Very experienced which can't be a bad thing. Welcome aboard, Nathan.

Excellent signing IMO. Read a lot of good things about him from previous clubs fans (on the whole) , RS obvs knows him very well and will be confident he can do well for us. I'm just waiting for the 'I'd rather if kept Pearson' comments and the 'doubt he's better than pearson' comments from the odd moron. Would be typical to compare a decent conference defender to a player who's had a very good career and never played below league one! Welcome aboard Nathan

Fantastic signing for us, agree with others here we need a left back to replace Danny Andrew then we are set. A few Coventry City fans moaning on twitter, didn't rotherham fans say the same when we signed Danny Collins? Now just look how godly Collins has been in League Two. UTM.

The negative comments on this are embarrassing,the same people moaning are the same moaning that we'd made no signings. He's had a fantastic career at a high level, brilliant signing IMO.

We won't see any 'mark' signings this year. Slade is about team building. This lad is an important bit of the jigsaw. If he has weaknesses Slade will already know them. But he obviously has strengths and great experience and he is a leader. Looks good to me.

Good signing, lots of experience at higher levels and good defenders don't need to be physically quick as long as they are mentally quick.

Am I reading a different thread to you, as most of the comments on this thread are happy with an experienced defender added to the squad.

IMO we need a goalkeeper, left back, winger & striker and a bit of weeding in the midfield area.

Slow but stead progress in the right direction
