23, 25 and 27 is young enough for me fella, I want instant impact and early safety. Investment in youth should be via the development squad at the moment. All first team investment should by on the hear and now, better finish means you attract better players, then I'd invest in quality first team youth. But that's just me. I don't want another stunted season waiting for the next Connor Wickham to decide if he's a man or a boy.
He entering he peak years, he won't hit his peak until 29-30, then he'll go down hill. We've got him for his best years. You really think 27 is the age players start to decline? Wow.
Read back I said best player ever, had his best days at Manchester that's the only time I really watched him.
No he absolutely didn't. He was quality at United, he bulked up and improved in every department at Real.
I think you should have an Avatar-Off Nads is all over it with the clearer image, though shire has more of the crest in there. Both having the edges cut off shows you're both not quite on your games. This should be close one.
You should have watched him at Real Madrid then. He's a much more complete player and pretty much unstoppable. 61 goals including 8 hat tricks in the league last season. He's better than Messi now.
Football has moved on now mate with the way players condition themselves and are looked after. Players last a few years longer these days.
Add to that Sport Science advances & additional staff (S&C coaches etc) most players really are in their peak late 20's early 30's.
