SE, per 'Tiser. - "The age profile will average out as we fine tune the group" he said.

I've repeatedly said on and off here that I want a squad which is younger then the league average, built to last. But I'm comfortable with having the leaders and experience in there too... I think it's easier to attract players where there are proven, successful players at a club, than to attract them when the first wave of signings are 22 with lots to prove, whatever their potential. It's been done the right way round, and we're still quite a few signings from having the squad size we need.
