Fair play to Hill, I think he's learnt from last season and he's improving where we need to most. Fantastic signing because he'll free up the more attack minded midfielders who had to do a job they're not particularly comfortable in doing and the experience he's going to pass onto Morley, Adshead, Camps (assuming he stays) etc.
Left back and a genuine pace demon up front and we have a good team, I said a couple of weeks ago that I expected some exciting signings and it certainly looks that way! | | | |

He's 36 next month so wouldn't have thought he'd be able to play every week. Is he really the physical holding midfielder we need? Always though of him more as a flair player.
Probably in the minority but not massively excited by the signing. Still not sure of the obsession we have with signing ex-players either. Is Griffiths still knocking about in case McGahey leaves? | | | |

Was offered a new deal with Wigan as well. Be interesting to know if he took a pay cut or pay rise to join us. Great signing, if we came keep him fit at 35 i dont expect him to ve playing every week. But like hes says in his interview, the young midfielders in the squad esp Rathbone have the potential to learn a lot from Perks. I just really hope his legs havent gone. Maybe Mj Williams back as his back up, wouldnt be a bad shout. |  |

Was he out of contract or have we paid? | | | |

Fair play for offering an honest opinion, but I think back to the Wigan game against us in 2015, where Perkins showed exactly what he can offer a midfield, even at an advanced age. | |

Like you - I can't see age being an issue to be honest. He came very late into professional football (age 24-25) with his first pro contract at Dale back in 07/08 - there is a very good chance he will carry on playing longer than the average player because of this. Certainly Wigan didn't see it as a problem and he's won 2 promotion's from league 1 as part of their squad.
Plus if he has a shave he still looks about 15! | |

Does he have the personality to perhaps be part of the coaching team in the latter part of the 2 year contract? Perhaps that is another reason for the length of contract he has been given. Good signing in my opinion. | |

Not saying it's a bad signing. Just don't think it's one to get overly excited about. | | | |

Top man and a top signing. can't add to that! | | | |

Great signing! He’ll add some bite to a midfield that, while talented, has been walked over too many times this past season. Hopefully he’ll be a great mentor to Morley and Adshead too. |  | | |

Sort of agree with you. Wouldn't it be better to try and find someone who might last 5 or 6 seasons or someone who could be sold on in a couple of years?
There was a lot of excitement last year when we re-signed Matty Done - and that hasn't really worked out either in my opinion. |  |
