Paninistickers Posted 19 March 2019 Posted 19 March 2019 Bit of international week boredom, and riffing off Wes's winner and Crouch's sub appearance, I'm wondering if a combined over 35s PL team could be cobbled together - and whether it could hold its own. So first two on the sheet, Wes at centre back and Crouchy up front
martyn Posted 19 March 2019 Posted 19 March 2019 I'd be surprised if you could even field a side with players in their correct positions. Youd be alright for Goalkeepers though.
Corky Posted 19 March 2019 Posted 19 March 2019 Cech Bruno Jagielka Morgan Lichtsteiner Foster Murray Boruc Crouch Speroni Caballero All the over-35s in a Garth Crooks Team of the Week play anyone anywhere for no apparent reason-style.
Paninistickers Posted 19 March 2019 Author Posted 19 March 2019 What about Kompany? And Milner? Hows old are they?!

Silva - Young Murray - Crouch All 33 or over. I'd have Defoe in there if he wasn't technically on Rangers' books at the moment. Obviously Young is out of position Milner is very versatile. Other players that could be included - Baines, Simon Francis, Llorente, Antonio Valencia, Monreal, Bamba.

Not a horrible team in any case.

A lucrative sponsorship deal with Horlicks would be a given.

They are never going to make top 6. I think there is more chance of relegation. Where are the goals going to come from for a start?

Where are the goals going to come from for a start? 28 goals between them this season wouldn't cut the mustard, but quite a few don't play regularly. I reckon they would be comfortably mid-table, playing some not shabby football.

Even though my post was intended to be taken very lightly, Glen Murray doesn't have David Silva feeding him every week, 30+ goals there easy plus Llorente might score 3 of his 40+ chances
