The Lambert plan! Anyone noticed about every permanent player he has signed?

They are all roughly the same age.

O Johnson 23
R Martin 24
A McNamee 25
E Ward 25
Z Whitbread 26
A Crofts 26

The fact that he is prepared to let older players like Doc and Russell leaves suggests a long term plan of building a team to compete over the next 3 years with the plan of premiership football.

They are also at an age that they would have resale value.

It's interesting that we have been linked to almost no "experienced" players over 30.

Its proven that Lambert has no fear about playing younger players but obviously likes to bring in players of a certain age who have experience but are hungry to make the step up to a bigger club.
