dabber Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Thinking about our reported requirement for experience I am reminded of that old phrase if you're good enough you're old enough. How many of are youngsters are considered ready even with limited experience cos they are good enough? Looking at the ages that the squad will be this season, we are certainly on the young side but I would prefer that to an aging overpaid bunch any day.. GKs: Fielding (23), Legzdins (25) RBs: Brayford (24), Croft (26) LB's: Roberts (33), Kilbane (34) CBs: Shackell (28), Barker (29), Riggott (30?), Anderson (33), O'Brien (19?), Buxton (26) DM: Bailey (23), Hendrick (19), Green (28), Bryson (25), (Addison (22)) AM: Ward (25), McGuire (22), Davies.B (30), Doyle (20), Cywka (23), Pearson (29) CF: Davies.S (24), Tyson (29), Ball (19), Robinson (22) To me I think we are pretty well there as it stands (and that I think is 27 players). With the emergence of Croft (still only 26) as cover for Brayford and the signing of Kilbane we are OK at full back (if a little too experienced at left back!). Bailey and or Bryson and Hendrick can cover DM with Green perhaps returning in 2012. A plethora of attacking options with hopefully enough finishers to trouble the scorers. Looking forward to the season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Croft 26 and S.Davies 24.. Bleddy hell seems like these 2 have been around for years.. Especially Croft, I thought he was pushing 30. In 3 years time Bailey and Hendrick are going to be our Xavi and Iniesta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p.shilton Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I am not worried about the youth thing either- an old head in midfield maybe but they are going to be on big wages and probably fees. If you can get a young, hungry (and cheap) player they will probably do just as well if you get the right one. Also has the added bonus of not needing to replace them so often as they won't be retiring or "losing their legs" every 2nd season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
