Like Mabbutt?Or, rather, he knows we don't want golden oldies when they're past their best.
I don't recall Mabbs playing under Pochettino.Like Mabbutt?
CB's are really effective into their late 30's.
Just saying...I don't recall Mabbs playing under Pochettino.
Or many/any over 30's.
Yes, that is so now while he's building a system and a project.You can say it all you like, but until I see Poch play over 30's I will stick to the evidence - he likes younger, fitter, faster and more physical players rather than old hats with experience.
We have the youngest average age because of this.

Wasn't he already at southampton?Like Rickie Lambert?

Assuming we keep the stability that we seem at last to have found, I wouldn't be surprised if Pochettino hangs onto the older players who have trained in his system for most of their careers. They can teach the younger ones, as well as fulfilling a squad role.
That's different from signing older players who already have their style established.
