The Premier League’s oldest squads: Which teams need new blood the most this transfer window?
Show/hide article…
Father Time catches up with us all eventually - though he’s a lot closer to some Premier League squads than others.
Neither youth nor experience are guarantees of success, though the clubs with the older pros may want to freshen things up in the transfer market this summer.
Who has the oldest/wisest squad in the top flight? Sean Gibson has calculated not just the average age of each squad from 2016-17, but adjusted the figures for playing time - to help reveal those clubs leaning excessively on their senior players to keep producing.

Saints quartet in England Under-21 squad
Show/hide article…
Matt Targett, James Ward-Prowse, Nathan Redmond and Jack Stephens have all received the nod to link up with Aidy Boothroyd’s 23-man squad this summer.
Sam McQueen is also on standby for the tournament, which will run from the 16th to 30th of June.
The Young Lions, who have previously won the competition twice, qualified top of Group 9 to book their place in Poland.
They will play their Group A games against the hosts Poland, Slovakia and Sweden at the Kolporter Arena in Kielce, and will be hoping to better their 2015 campaign during which they were unable to qualify from the group stages.

Where every Premier League club needs to spend this summer
Show/hide article…
More than half-a-billion will be spent by the three north west giants Manchester United, Liverpool and Manchester City this summer.
All three clubs will have their sights set on glory in both the Premier League and Champions League.
And Jose Mourinho, Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola have all been promised the biggest transfer budgets in the history of their clubs.
City have already splashed out close to £80million on two players - and Guardiola will keep on spending big.
United won’t be far behind as they look to give Mourinho the funds to bring the big trophies back to Old Trafford, while Liverpool are handing Klopp funds to strengthen further.
That trio are far from the only ones set to spend big, at both ends of the table.
Sean Dyche needs to keep the Clarets punching above their weight, as will Swansea after stepping away from the drop zone under Paul Clement.
Huddersfield, Brighton and Newcastle will all look to invest in their quest to stay in the top flight after promotion.
Here, we run the rule over every Premier League club:
Midfield: The change in formation has enabled Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to flourish and Granit Xhaka has now erased the physical excesses from his game to be an asset rather than a red card waiting to happen.
Verdict: Arsene Wenger has now brought the speculation about his future to an end. Expect a lot of movement on and off the field. He needs to make the most of the next two months to infuse new blood.
Goalkeeper: No worries now after bagging quality in Asmir Begovic.
Verdict: Once again, Bournemouth will survive. They may not have the glamour, but they still have much to offer. Boss Eddie Howe has already operated early with the signings of Begovic and Defoe.
Verdict: Goals, quality and experience keep a team up – and the Seagulls need a dose of each to stand a chance. Tammy Abraham and Robert Snodgrass plus extra pace at full-back would be a good start.
Verdict: Scoring goals was Burnley’s problem last season – and it needs to be addressed with a proven striker. Joey Barton’s exit and the possible departure of Michael Keane means Sean Dyche must splash the cash to strengthen all areas.
Verdict: Good champions don’t stand still and Antonio Conte must add strength in depth for their return to the Champions League; the FA Cup final defeat to Arsenal showed as much. Wing-backs are needed to challenge Victor Moses and Marcos Alonso.
Verdict: So much depends on the identity and philosophy of the new manager to replace Sam Allardyce. A good shout would be Garry Monk – unlucky to lose his job at Swansea and did well at Leeds.
Midfield: A dominant general alongside the energy of Morgan Schneiderlin and Idrissa Gueye.
Verdict: Big summer for Ronald Koeman if he wants to improve on seventh in his first campaign at Goodison. Europa League will stretch his squad, which needs more quality – and top-class replacements, if Lukaku and Ross Barkley depart.
Goalkeeper: Danny Ward’s Liverpool loan has finished so needs
Midfield: Two central - especially if they can’t get Aaron Mooy back - and a winger.
Verdict: When you have £170million for winning the Championship play-off final, cash for new signings is hardly a problem. And the Terriers need to bring in players who can give them a realistic chance of staying in the top flight for more than one season. It will cost £80million to provide the recruits manager David Wagner needs.
Defence: Rugged stopper, as Robert Huth has one year left.
Verdict: Leicester’s work after their title triumph wasn’t good enough. It has to improve or else 12th is all they will be aiming for again next time; Mahrez has already made clear his desire to move.
Goalkeeper: All OK now.
Verdict: Jurgen Klopp needs quantity as well as quality to cope with European football and the Reds are very keen on Roma’s Mohamed Salah. James Milner did well as an emergency left-back last season, but Klopp also needs a natural goalscorer, with doubts over Daniel Sturridge’s ability to stay fit.
Verdict: City have already bought big with keeper Ederson and midfielder Bernardo Silva, but replacements must also be found for Pablo Zabaleta, Gael Clichy, Bacary Sagna and Jesus Navas.
Goalkeeper: A new No.1 will be needed if David de Gea does exit.
Verdict: Doubts over the futures of keeper David De Gea, Wayne Rooney and Zlatan Ibrahimovic means United must spend big. Jose Mourinho will also have to address their defensive frailities.
Verdict: Decent squad, but Rafa Benitez knows he needs quality in every department to ensure his side are in the right half of the table. He will have a long list of targets from a wide range of prices. Keep an eye on the backing from Mike Ashley because that will make or break Newcastle’s return to the big time.
Defence: Central defender - even moreso if Virgil van Dijk goes - and a left-back.
Verdict: The Saints are desperate for a goalscorer to complement Manolo Gabbiadini, and at the back a partner or replacement for Van Dijk and a left-back, if Ryan Bertrand leaves. But will those new recruits be signing for Claude Puel or another new boss at St Mary’s? It’s not looking great for the Frenchman.
Goalkeeper: Lee Grant won’t want to understudy Jack Butland again. A new No.2 keeper will be a priority.
Defence: Left-back. Erik Pieters not good enough. Must keep Ryan Shawcross.
Midfield: Boss Mark Hughes is desperate for a powerful box-to-box runner. Gianelli Imbula isn’t it. Darren Fletcher might be.
Frontline: Saido Berahino has to produce. If not a big, mobile commanding No.9 should be on manager’s wish list.
Verdict: Marko Arnautovic and Xherdan Shaqiri must shine more often. Stoke need athleticism, they are too one-paced.
Midfield: Deep lying holding player and a left winger. If Gylfi Sigurdsson departs, they’ll need a top-level creator.
Verdict: Relegation scrape was too close for comfort, but Paul Clement’s first full season will bring sanity to a madhouse. Must hang on to ice-cool playmaker Gylfi Sigurdsson and king of the skies Fernando Llorente, as well as bring in fresh faces.
Defence: Right-back if Kyle Walker goes, left-back if Danny Rose departs.
Frontline: Central striker to back up Harry Kane, after Vincent Janssen fell short.
Verdict: Spurs fell short, but an explosive end to the season — 13 goals in their last two games — and a second-placed finish promised much for the next campaign. Mauricio Pochettino will need a back-up to Kieran Trippier, who will replace Walker, a new left-back if Rose goes, and, despite the goal rush, another striker to support Harry Kane.
Goalkeeper: At least one, maybe two.
Frontline: One, maybe two.
Verdict: New boss Marco Silva desperately needs to add strength to his squad, and starting line-up in all departments. Whether or not Troy Deeney remains, he requires more firepower up front, plus they desperately need more youth added to an ageing back four.
Verdict: Tony Pulis has a competitive first XI. But if he is to progress, he has to add quality in key areas. Could do with hanging on to Jonny Evans and for Matt Phillips to return fresh next term. Watford striker Troy Deeney is unsettled and would fit perfectly into Pulis’ system.
Midfield: Someone with more movement and more options.
Verdict: Time for major investment. Slaven Bilic would do well to monitor the situation at Arsenal, with Lucas Perez and Theo Walcott frustrated.

Charlie Austin accused of “cheating” by wife - but it’s not as it seems
Show/hide article…
Charlie Austin’s wife Bianca was involved in a bit of a Twitter mix-up after accusing her husband of “cheating”.
Taking to social media, the other half of the Southampton forward wrote: “When your [sic] sat about to go on a 10 hour flight with you husband and you find out hes been cheating… @chazaustin10 you p_*_*”.
The Tweet obviously caused quite a stir online before Bianca quickly logged back on to deleted the message and clarify her comment.
After posting the laughing face emoji, in reference to the mix-up, she wrote the following to former Chelsea player Leon Knight, who asked her whether the tweet was fake: “@LeonKnight_ pre boarding lounge monopoly blown out of proportion”.
She concluded the message, which confirmed her husband had just been “cheating” in the famous board game, with the embarrassed face emoji.
Austin and his wife Bianca have recently been on holiday in Barbados, and are returning on Monday after some time in the sun.
The couple, who tied the knot in June 2015, have a daughter named Ava Bell and son called Hunter together.
Austin made 21 appearances in all competitions for the Saints this season, finding the back of the net nine times.
He suffered a shoulder injury in the Europa League in December, which saw him miss Southampton’s biggest game of the season, the EFL Cup final against Manchester United.

Four Saints players have been named in the England squad for this summer’s under-21 European Championships.
James Ward-Prowse, Nathan Redmond, Matt Targett and Jack Stephens have all got the nod for the trip to Poland.
Sam McQueen missed the cut and has been placed on stand-by, having been included in Aidy Boothroyd’s initial 28-man squad which was today officially trimmed back.
England start their campaign against holders Sweden on June 16 in Kielce
The Young Lions also face rookies Slovakia on June 19 and hosts Poland on June 22 in Group A.
For all the Saints men this represents the last opportunity to play for the Young Lions, with each of them too old to continue with the nation’s final age group team after the Euros.
In Poland they will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of the last Saints man to win the European Under-21 Championships, Danny Wallace, who triumphed under Dave Sexton, who also led England to their only other win at the competition in 1982.
The London-born attacker played for Saints from 1980-1990, scoring 79 goals in 299 starts, and was part of the Euro 1984-winning under-21 squad which defeat Spain 3-0 in the final.
Since then, 33 years without winning the tournament have followed, with the closest England getting to the silverware the 4-0 defeat to Germany in the final of the 2009 Euros in Sweden.
Martin Cranie and Theo Walcott were the only men involved that night with any Saints connection, but both of them, by then, were no longer at St Mary’s.
Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek has been ruled out along with Patrick Roberts and Izzy Brown.
Boothroyd said: "We have some good players and like for any international team, bringing them all together and getting them all to work as a single unit, that is always the challenging part.
"But we’ve got players with big-game experience now, lads who have played in cup finals, play-off finals, big games and a couple of senior internationals.
"In this particular age group we have a very capable, mature squad with a nice balance between the soldiers and the artists, so I’m really looking forward to it.
“I think we’re well equipped on paper and it’s now about putting some hard work in on the grass, which we’ve been doing over the last three weeks to be ready for the tournament.”
Chelsea’s Loftus-Cheek has been struggling with a back problem and made just 11 appearances for Chelsea last season.
Roberts, on loan from Manchester City, won the treble with Celtic and Brown helped Huddersfield to promotion to the Premier League via the Sky Bet Championship play-offs and long seasons have not helped their recovery.
Skipper James Ward-Prowse and Southampton team-mate Nathan Redmond are included ahead of their final under-21 tournament before they become too old.
Sunderland goalkeeper Jordan Pickford will also go along with Leicester duo Ben Chilwell and Demarai Gray and Chelsea’s Tammy Abraham and Nathaniel Chalobah.
Senior boss Gareth Southgate confirmed last week Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford would not go to Euro 2017 and would instead stay with the senior side for their games against Scotland and France. United boss Jose Mourinho had previously said he saw no point in Rashford playing at the tournament.
Abraham, Redmond, Gray and Fulham’s Cauley Woodrow are likely to be Boothroyd’s central striker options.
Southampton midfielder Sam McQueen and Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Joe Wildsmith are on standby.

St Mary’s transformed for Robbie
Show/hide article…
An enormous stage has been built on the pitch, at the Chapel Stand end, while a huge amount of work has gone in to setting up the rest of the stadium for the tens of thousands of people who are attending.
If you’re coming to the show, don’t forget that the extensive Bar & Food Village that has been created in the North Car Park is open from 3pm, so there is plenty of opportunity to get the party started early.
A huge range of options are available to choose from, with everything from barbecue, noodles and hog roast to healthier options such as wraps and baguettes available, as well as alcoholic beverages, coffee, water and soft drinks.
Please note, there is no parking available at the stadium for the concert.
Full details of the Park & Ride scheme, as well as all the other information about the show, city parking and train opportunities can be found on our dedicated Robbie Williams concert page by clicking here.
There will be additional security checks taking place ahead of the concert, so we advise people to arrive as early as possible to allow time for these checks to take place. To minimise delays, fans are strongly advised not to bring any bag larger than a handbag to the event as large bags may not be allowed into the stadium.
In light of these enhanced security measures and at the request of Live Nation, the event organisers, fans will not be able to camp outside St Mary’s Stadium ahead of the concert.
