Matt Busby used to follow the principle that `if they`re good enough they`re old enough`. To some extent – although perhaps to a lesser degree, admittedly – I think the opposite also applies. At the end of their careers (maybe) they may also be looking for coaching positions and the like, and attributes such as loyalty and professionalism come into play there as well.

The fact remains, though, that we`re still paying these guys a salary. That being the case, although maybe not first choices, they`re still there to be called on in extremis and I think they should be.
