berkshirevilla Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 No I realise being Villa, i have no chance of getting say cech but i think i maybe going abit harsh on the age limit (27) but then i dont want a player who is already passed there peek Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruyff14 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 change the age to 28 and he will probably appear on your search. I think the search is looking for players from 21 but under 27. Get me ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurf Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 You could probably get Igor Akinveev, which would be a class signing. But you'll have to pony up about 24 - 30 m for him. He's a class goalie though. Won't need another for at least 10 seasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get me ? Yeah, it is between 21 and 27, so it doesn't includes those that are 21 and 27. Only who are 22, 23, 24, 25 and 26. Get me? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
berkshirevilla Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 So if you guys where searching for players what age range would you look at? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruyff14 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 So if you guys where searching for players what age range would you look at? Goal keepers generally don't peak till there late twenties early thirties Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
berkshirevilla Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 It's not just Gk, what about outfield players? Is the age range i have set too mean? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurf Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I thought the goal keepers peak was from 30 - 36? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabio MVP Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I thought the goal keepers peak was from 30 - 36? This. 30-35 - the best goalkeeping years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruyff14 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 This. 30-35 - the best goalkeeping years. Usually yes but now that training levels are higher and coaching ect... is far better I think that age is coming down, look at players like Hart, Cassilias, Akinfeev these are all their countries number one's in the past younger goalkeepers never really got a look in until the older keeper who they were understudy to retired in there late 30's by that time the understudies themselves were much older themselves. It's not just goal keepers a lot of outfield players peak earlier as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yeah, but those are pretty much exceptions. Hart is not even at it's best (if he is then he is just a good goalie IMO). If you look generally, goalies' best years are beetwen 30-35.

If you look generally, goalies' best years are beetwen 30-35. Peter cech, Victor Valdes, Reina, Rene Alder, Buffon( he was at the top of his game when he moved for 25m to Juve)< David De Gea (well on his way), Maartin Stekelenburg, and Hugo Lloris. These are just another load of examples of keepers either in or approaching peak form. You just have to look and study sports science to see that players can peak quicker now. If you look at Messi & Ronaldo the best players on the planet easily and they have almost reached the top level before their 27th birthday I think in another year maybe two both the players will be at there peak as they won't be able to get any better.

Smurf Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 There's always exceptions to the rule. Typically players won't reach their peak until 30 - 36 as goal keepers. It's just a rule of thumb, not set in stone. I'm just going to scratch that piece of crap Hart of the list of really good goalkeepers that are listed there too... my god ... Joe Hart??? He's England's best, but he's an average run of the mill goalkeeper. you cannot mention him in the same list of players as you mentioned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
