Heard this morning on a YouTube video that he was still at Villa and tbh I had completely forgotten about him! The cost per minute / goal / assist was astronomical!
Fair play to Burnley.
That move does suggest the sort of level hes operating at these days. His has been one of the most rapid drop offs, although at 35 he's has one hell of a career. I'm glad we didn't sign him.
The other lot won the title with one of the higher average squad ages in the league.
30 somethings have a lot to offer these days and aren't quite the broken down, clapped out, take ol yeller out the back cast offs they once were.
I think the...
….you have an obsession with age, Branthwaite is 23, O’Brien 24, Garner 24, Alcaraz 22, Ndiaye 25, Beto 27, McNeil 25, all regular starters, all contracted for next season. If we bring Barry in, he’s 22.
We need good footballers.
….Doucoure, Young and DCL look like they left despite being offered deals, suggesting this new regime have strict criteria regarding contract extensions.
