What if we won the league next season after buying experienced players, then the following season we bought a couple of 21-23 year old's? Does that mean we can dispel this notion that the club is now exclusively looking to buy players aged 28 and over?

It is a valid point - it wouldn't be if Rashford and Martial were regulars, but they arent. We can't have a team where the majority of the players are around 30, this was something Ferguson always mentioned. He wanted a mix of young, and old. If we sign a 30 year old and 3 players in their mid 20s - no problem. But we should not sign 3 players in their late 20s - and I hope this is something Mourinho realizes as well.
The transfer forum is very ageist.
I know, right!?
What is the point you are trying to make ?
What's with you people, we haven't bought anyone yet there's panic about the age. I'd understand if we only bought old folks who can barely walk under Jose but we of course haven't. This is crazy.
Anyone have any idea why I cant see the tweets? Is it a settings issue or something?
What browser?
Sterling 23, Sane 22, Jesus 21.
Willian 29 Sanchez 29
So? Linedlöf, Bailly, Pogba. This is a fruitless exercise. Are we ignoring the younger players we're linked to just to give another win to City as well?
firefox. It used to show up in january
Very! It's unreal, it's as if anyone over the age of 26 should start receiving their pension
That includes me at the grand old age of 27 too then 
Gotta love posters like this who selectively picks our oldest players in attack and compares to City's youngest ones Did you forget we have Lukaku (24), Rashford (20), Martial (22) ?Didn't know about his son, but yeah I know he's mentioned before that he doesn't want to leave Italy. Its sad as he'd be a perfect signing.
Surprised we're not in for him after his performance against us. My old man was shocked when I told him how young he was.
So who are we signing tomorrow?
Check if tracking protection is turned on for Redcafe. I couldn't see then until I turned it off for this site.
@Yagami had a different issue on firefox though.
That's a good price in this market for him. We should be all over that.
Manchester United are working on a deal to make Fred a central component of their close season rebuild. United is understood to have proposed contractual terms to the midfielder. - [Duncan Castles]
Hope this happens.
Hope this happens.
Alderweireld for £40m would be great business. I wonder how much someone like Godin would be even though he's 32 i think he's one of the best defenders around.
Ricardo Pereira is a very good player and still young. Wouldn't mind taking a punt on him. Good business for them.
So do i! Fred just glides past players wich we lack in our team nowadays.He would be our engine, and i would say our most important transfer in if it happens.
Yep. He would be a cracking signing for them and that' a decent price. I'm from Leicester and I've kept a close eye on them and they've needed to upgrade their wingbacks for the last couple of years to be perectly honest.
Simpson has been decent but on the decline the last year or so understandably with age, not especially great at attacking or defending and Chilwell is still a work in progress.
Hopefully we get our deals over the line fast.
Don’t think he’s available!Jesus Christ.
I've always wondered what the difference is between formal and informal talks. For formal talks does everyone turn up in a tuxedo or something?
I normally don't listen to Luckhurst for transfers. Don't think he has an amazing record.
Mental that we could have poached Chelsea's best two midfielders in the space of two seasons.
Gonna spend 100s of millions and have to replace the squad in 3 years at this rate. Is there no one in their mid-20s good enough for us :x
