Do we have the youngest squad in the league? This isn't necessarily a bad thing, I think we have a good mix in all areas. Concerning me the most, along with pretty much everyone else, would be a goalscorer and the lack of bodies in midfield.

In 7 years time this will be a team of world beaters then.

We must have the youngest squad in the League, I'd certainly be surprised if we didn't. There's nothing wrong with having young players in the squad, but we need more experience surrounding them. I'm not saying bring in loads of 35 year olds, but you need 2 or 3 that are 30 odd and have been there and done it. That's why I thought Lee Carsley was more important that a lot of people realised last season.

Especially with a 40yr old Platt up front.

No you see because the tree will be retired by then. Obviously he will never be league 1 level let alone a world beater. I personally think Platt would struggle to win a place in the squad at Nuneaton Town.

In 7 years time all these players will be playing for someone else.

Yes but they will still be world beaters. Have you ever noticed how alot of players we have at a young age go on to be internationals? We have some tremendous players here (including now) but we just have them too early in their careers. Anyone think Robbie Keane would come back?

Only if we put a bag over his head and stuffed him in the boot of our car.

Did someone mention violence, rioting and looting in Tottenham? Lets get down there and loot Spurs. Keano will be as cheap as a 40" plasma from Currys in camden.
