We now officially have the oldest squad in the premiership, if you discount the six academy players in the squad the average age would almost be 31 Even if you leave them in its over 27.
Wolves fans love to trumpet they want their club to develop and sign only young and hungry players, but look where that's got them the last six years.
I am not saying that we should have a team full of kids I am just saying we have the oldest squad in the Premiership and I would argue that because of the pace of the game at this level a squad with an average age of 31 is going to struggle a bit more than a squad with an average age of say 28. Ok we have signed two players under 27 but unless we want this constant 6 or 7 in and out every summer window we need to think to the future a little more. Luckily I think the club are thinking the same way judging by Garlick's comments at the academy
