It’s an overwhelmingly commonly held belief here; all my Saudi friends (most of whom went on to do their bachelors and masters in the US and UK, some in politics no less) are adamant this is the case. They used to show Fahrenheit 911 in Saudi schools ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixelphish Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 I'm almost anxious about the upcoming window. I don't know how to react to supporting a functioning football club. Hope this lad lives up to his reputation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawK Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Whilst I agree with the sentiment of reducing the squad size and planning for the long term, that graph is pretty arbitrary. I'd argue Trippier peaked at Atlético and is still going strong now, and Wilson is also at the top of his game. I think the 'peak' range for each position picked there is at least 2 years younger across the board than where it should be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
matta Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 That chart is the worst bullshit i've seen. This is the real world, not some FM crap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEEJ Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 It's just a plug for another of their articles on the platform. It is mental how many players need chucking mind. No easy task given how little some of them have played/how bobbins they are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Is 26 really the top of the ‘peak age’ bracket for full-backs & central-midfielders? I’d say 28-29. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 27-29 for a keeper too? I get what he’s pointing at but that ‘peak age’ thing is very narrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manxst Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Irrespective of the specific ages that graph shows, the fact remains that our squad IS too heavy with aging players. Iirc, either Howe or Staveley have stated as such, that the average age needs to come down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Spaceman Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Given the number of elite 30 something goalkeepers we've seen in the PL over the years I'm not so sure that they do peak in their 20's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 A better graph would have the red on a gradient to account for outliers while still showing the general trend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s clearly peaked and is hanging onto the last year or two of his admittedly incredible career. Plus he’s a simply amazing genetic athlete who cannot be compared to 99% of other professional footballers in terms of fitness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gleebals Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Really excited by this appointment. He is a class act, who will in time completely transform this place alongside Howe. In terms of getting rid of players, really not sure that is his role! People either want our players or they dont! In terms of those most likely to go, I think it will be: Ritchie Clark Fernandes Darlow Manquillo Hendricks Gayle Possibly Murphy Lewis I suspect Howe might fancy a bit more time with these two to see if they can develop further or not.
