We asked for your views on the wisdom of Chelsea moving for 35-year-old Danny Welbeck and 36-year-old Jordan Henderson.
Here are some of your comments:
Will: Welbeck and Henderson would provide the much-needed experience we lack in the squad. John Stones would be a better signing than Henderson - however, Welbeck can also provide a goalscoring threat.
Steve: Welbeck is a good pro and would be a good addition to the squad. Henderson - no.
Scott: As far as dressing-room experience and camaraderie goes, these are good moves. However, I doubt Henderson and Welbeck will take us to the next level on the field. This would also only highlight how much of a shambles our transfer policy has been.
Cris: It's a good thing to get players with experience but not players who are past it. Chelsea still need a good number nine with experience.
Julian: It would be good to sign Welbeck and Henderson. They have got a lot of Premier League experience and would help to see out games, which was something we could not do last season. And their experience around the club would help the young players.
Jack: I like the Wellbeck move in theory, particularly if it means we can say goodbye to Liam Delap. Henderson feels like a great voice and leader to have onside, but I worry about his ability to deliver any kind of cup winning performance. We need players not motivational speakers.
