Edin Dzeko and Olivier Giroud at 37 and 36 in the Milan Champions League semi final.

I know we keep buying true has beens and never were’s but I think we need to look at older players with proven quality and durability.

Vardy is 36 but still as quick as a whippet and he’d be my number one target if I was head of recruitment.

33 might be past it for a Livermore but 35-37 for the likes of Modric and Milner is not, same with Messi knocking 36 and Ronaldo in his 39th year.

If the top clubs are happy to find first team places for 35 to 40 year olds then we shouldn’t be shy of doing the same whilst also chancing a few younger players and buys from lower leagues and non league.
