We Have the Oldest Squad in the Premier League

[The Fat el Hombre]

Based on players who have made a first team appearance in the premier league this campaign, according to the mirror who've supposedly taken this stat from OPTA.

Surely an error? We're supposedly top with an average age of 29.6. I would have though our average age is around 26

Surely it's only because Paddy V is 96?

Hmmm sounds very suspect to be honest

Vieira aside (35) then the next oldest is Given (34-35) and surely he can't really count considering he never gets on the pitch

After that I thought only Gareth Barry and Kolo Toure had broken the 30 barrier with everyone else more in the 22- 27 bracket?

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

Yea but the likes of Boyata and Razak will counter Vieira. I don't think Given's played for us in the prem this season?

Barry, SWP, Kolo and Lescott are all around 29, but Zab, Komps, Kolarov, Dzeko, Tevez, Yaya, Nige, Dzeko, Milner, Silva etc are all younger, and Jerome, Micah, Hart, Johnno, Mario etc are a lot younger.

There's no way that is a correct stat.

Kolarov - 25
Richards - 22
Kolo - 29
kompany - 25
lescott - 28
boateng - 22
pabzab - 26
hart - 23
barry - 29 (got a birthday comin up though)
yaya - 27
nige - 26
silva - 25
milner - 25
tevez - 27
dzeko - 24
vieira - 34
aj - 23
balotelli - 20
swp - 29
jo - 23

Am i missin anybody? Thats just the people off the top of my head

I always forget Jo is so young... Maybe he just needs time like Bebe ha ha ha

Impossible for us to have an average age of 29.

 

[Bulldoglikeapproach]

Looks more like 25, and if balo and aj had been fit all season, it would be even lower!
