Ferguson likes them young

Peterborough boss Darren Ferguson is set to invest in youth next season rather than experience after announcing his retained list earlier this week.
Should Ferguson's plans come to fruition, the oldest member of his squad next season will be just 26.
The former Preston boss confirmed that transfer talks were already underway with a number of targets in an attempt to rebuild his squad.
"We like to pick young players who we can improve over a period of time and that's still the case," he told the Peterborough Evening Telegraph.
"We could be even younger next season as Grant (McCann) may go and so might George Boyd and they are two of our oldest players.
"I have identified two players who can play in Grant's position and, although I wouldn't expect anything to happen quickly, talks are ongoing."
