Newcastle United players who are set to peak – Others who are over the hill or beginning journey | OneFootball

An Everton scout told me that every football player will peak at some stage in their career.

It could be 14 or it could be 24.

Age plays the major factor but it isn’t always just down to birthdays and miles in legs.

Some players can lose a yard of pace, while others gain a second in speed of thought.

So here’s my pictorial take (see below) on where I think the Newcastle United players are on the peak performance mountain.

There’s some like Lewis Miley and Will Osula who are just starting out, while others are just about to peak in my opinion, such as Joelinton.

In his case I reckon he’s got one or two years at most before he is at his best.

Bruno is a similar story.

Then we have Willock, Murphy etc who I reckon Eddie Howe has got every last drop of performance out of. They won’t get better next season. They could do with being replaced before they affect the team.

Finally, there’s those who are literally over the hill – the likes of our two keepers, Wilson etc etc.

So what do other readers think about our current squad of Newcastle United players?
