No one is denying he bought older players. But the criticism is that he wanted to fill the team with older players and that often he bought with no regard to the future. You know this though as you've been in the thick of these arguments of many months. The criticism is biased as it ignores the fact we did buy younger players. We did try and buy many younger players that don't get names when people name older player we missed out on, such as P Neville or Bellamy. Also the reasons Harry put forward for wanting some older heads in the squad are not mentioned, nor are favourable terms on which we signed most of them. There is never any comparison with other clubs signings.
If posters were simply pointing that he bought some older players to the club, then it wouldn't be a problem. But that isn't the case, as you well know. It's used as a criticism of him, as if there was something wrong with it or that it was his main strategy. There is no fair comparison with other clubs, a look at the contract or the terms on which these players were signed, the purpose for which they signed or any evidence that there was a preference for these kind of players over younger players.
