Was it @BigPoppaPump who made the very astute observation that PEA doesn't burn himself out during games like others? It is quite possible this man can be an absolute beast till he is 32.. The example given, rightly so, was Alexis. Ran himself stupid by age 27 and is completely burnt out now as a player and I suspect as an individual too.wish we got him when he was younger

The younger we get him, the more years we get to enjoy his goals. The more the merrier.
For sure, but we have him now, let's enjoy it.The younger we get him, the more years we get to enjoy his goals. The more the merrier.

True, many factors involved so we can't just blame Alexis. To the same degree his commitment to success in the sport must be applauded.I think with Alexis his international commitments played a big part tbf and unlike Auba who was used sparingly at times by Emery, Alexis had no such luxury under Wenger. The signs of decline were there in his final season with us.

Blame the notorious BIGOfftopic: Is this Pump guy your sidekick or what is going on? Why are here two Big Poppa's, not enough names in the world to choose from?
Btw. Poppamies means a shaman in Finnish. Poppa means also hot in childish language.
The guy cried like a little ***** when Arsène wanted to rest him, he has himself to blame.I think with Alexis his international commitments played a big part tbf and unlike Auba who was used sparingly at times by Emery, Alexis had no such luxury under Wenger.

I was just as confused as you.
Maybe Lil Cease was already taken

A lot of them are stocky fatsos. I think the much leaner Auba has a better chance of maintaining his output through the middle thirties. It's also why I don't think Özil will suffer from a loss of form for a few more years.The list of players who burnt out at about 30 is pretty big
Tevez
Sanchez
Suarez almost
Rivaldo
Rooney
Kaka
Torres
Robinho
Ronaldinho
Owen
Fowler
Just a few i could think of. But deffo right, prime example is messi. Watch messi 10 years ago and he was non stop all game, watch him now and he must more conservative and it will prolong his career. I suppose even ronaldo, who moved into a striker role so less running back and can maintain the unreal quality going forward.
