As you can see, Newcastle United coming out with an average age of 27.76 this season, only West Ham and Fulham having a higher average age when it comes to players used this season in the league.I think we need to look at the split of Newcastle United players when it comes to each of these age groups:So when you look at the Newcastle United squad overall and drill down into the reality, it is anything but a negative situation with regards to an ageing team / squad.
In the 26-29 category, most are squad players, with only Almiron and Joelinton competing regularly for a first team place at the moment.However, four of the ten are goalkeepers, where age to a large extent is pretty immaterial, at least compared to say outfield attacking and midfield players.Indeed, this is where the big disparity is in reality when it comes to the age of the current first team.
In terms of attacking / midfield first choice competitors, only 31 year old Callum Wilson is feeling the clock really ticking, Joelinton is only 27, Jacob Murphy 28, whilst Miggy is 29. Whilst defenders can’t go on forever, it is simply reality that for example central defenders don’t need to do nearly as much running as central midfielders and wingers.Concerns as Sweden release official statement after Alexander Isak forced to pull out of internationalsMike Ashley legal dispute at an end as Amanda Staveley pays him £10mSubmitting your details indicates your consent for The Mag to send you email marketing messages and process personal data.
