Really? So ignoring the fact that anyone who is under 30 is still in their prime and likely wont be here in 3 years ANYWAY... Messi is 30, Lewandowski is 29, Suarez is 30, Bale will be turning 29 this year, Aguero is 29, and they are in the prime of their career and you would take them in a heartbeat.
Rooney 33 this year
Jagielka 36 this year
Williams 34 this year
Baines 34 this year
Coleman 30 this year
So out of as quad of roughly 30 players, that leaves us with Jagielka who will be gone in the summer, Williams who will likely be gone in the summer, and Baines who will be a backup in the summer, leaving only 1 likely starter in Coleman and a part-time starter in Rooney for next season. Thats pretty good.

...I think he actually said he wants players in the mid 20 age bracket.

Ideally only 3 or 4 of them, assuming they’re fit, should be playing regularly, along with a couple on the bench! Note I did say ideally!
Over the hill might be harsh in Sigurdsson's case, but for Walcott and Bolasie, as pacy wide players, it's probably fair to say that they're past their peak. There aren't many wingers that hit their prime around 30. Can you see any of them commanding a transfer fee higher than what we paid for them?
I understand that we need a mixture of youth and experience, but our transfer strategy seems to be disproportionately skewed towards buying expensive players in their late 20s who probably don't have another transfer in them. If we're trying to build a long-term project that just doesn't make sense.
Depends on the type of player mate. For a player like Walcott, 29 is old. He's always been reliant on pace and he's had a load of injury problems.
This is totally right. Some people are moaning for the sake of it.
Titus Bramble
Best centre half to grace the Premier League
Not really sure what the problem with these are
Yeah with regards to pace merchants that started very young they do tend to burn out early, usually because of injuries. Micheal Owen being the prime example.
It just tells us that their performances are probably going to tale off over the next few seasons and that they might start picking up more injuries.
Look at Baines, his form dropped significantly around when he hit 30 and he's had a load of injuries over the last few years.
It's just not ideal to be building your team around a load of players who are exiting their prime and who are on huge salaries.
