Good shout...sure he's 26.

KDB's 25, but it's not saying PL player.

forgot about the 2 world's best players. Thought Griezmann was older.

37 Pirlo??? Can't think of many 37/38 year old's left.

How old is Alves? 33? 34?

Neymar - sure he's 23/24, so if Pogba is 23, Neymar at 24.

Nibbles is 29 so Messi 30

How old is Bale?

Nibbles???

skyblueoz wrote:How old is Bale?

27 or 28 I think.

Sergio is 28...so maybe he's 27??

nibbles = Suarez

34 yaya

26 Coutinho

Donnarumma that ac goalie must be 17, 18

FM Oz, you're on the ball.

Yes...he's only young....well done fella.

Kimmich, my favourite young player who I want at City!! He's older than 18 but thought he was 22/23, so hazard a guess at 21???

16 year olds??? I would have said my lads best mate Ben Woodburn, but he's turned 17 now.

There's a kid at Real Madrid called Mayoral...think he may be older than 16 though??? Sure he was  called that....and I'm sure he was the kid who destroyed our youth team in the CL youth cup.

Is that Odergarrd (or however it;s spelt), still 16 at Real Madrid? Got a feeling he could be 17/18 now.

30 or 32....Manuel Nauer???

Keeping on keepers...Cech at 34??? There are so many players around that age group 30-34.....

The 16yo has played in the CL!!!

Ahhh... think he's a black kid called Kayo or something like that. He's an Italian wonder-kid. He must play for Juve or Napoli????

32 year old

Busquets?
Chiellini?
Hummels?
Robben?
Ramos??

18 year old

Moor or Morr....plays for Dortmund?

Or there's another kid there, but there's no way I can remember his name. He was touted as one for the future. Eastern European kid.

How old's Dembele at Celtic? He's young, but got a feeling he's 19 or 20?? Good young player though.

I'll give you robben

The 18yo was touted as a Liverpool target over the last few weeks

Don't follow LFC....

I got some of them right then?

Guess I'm wrong on the Italian kid and the Dortmund player then?

OK...the 39 yr old is gonna be tough, as there are loads still plying their trade in foreign leagues, unless you are talking about the lower leagues of the English leagues?

Luis Garcia plays in Oz I think?

Anelka?

Gudjohnsen?

Elano?

Matthew Upson?

Tim Cahill at Melbourne!!!! Got it!!

Tell me it's Tim Cahill?????

See we are still missing a 26yr old in the PL???

Ozil?
Giroud?
Walcott?

DeGea?
Smalling?
Rojo?

Hazard?
Oscar?
Kante?

Lallana?
Henderson?

KDB?
Gundogan?

Mahrez?
Drinkwater?


Give up.....could be an untold number of players

Ben Woodburn?

I'd take Ruben Neves over Rashford. Captain in a CL game, youngest CL player for Porto and their youngest scorer.

So, it's not him then?

So I'm assuming apart from DeGea, the rest are wrong?

Give up...too late now.

Tell ya tamoz

right that 18yr old is probably Christian Pulisic that American lad playing in serie A
