I agree with you on the defence and goaltending. van der Sar turns 40 this month. And even though there are only 7 players over 30, there are 7 more that turn 30 next year, including Berbatov, Park, Evra, O'Shea, Vidic, Carrick...couple that with the financial problems and this could be a team in decline.
