Why would a player in their late 20s that hasn't made it previously as a professional player want to be a squad player, getting minimum wage and never getting game time? Surely they'd rather play in NPL every week for match payments while building a career outside of football for more money they would make as a squad player? Most players mentioned have already had a crack at playing in the A-League and not cemented a spot or had careers and are now winding down.......
Some valid points, But those 4 aren't part of the 22 in the main squad. They are on scholarship contracts. I'm talking about the backend of the 22 player main squad.

Kevin De Bruyne and Mo Salah never cracked Chelsea. They took a step back and are much better players now then in their early 20's. So I don't see why players shouldn't be pensioned off so early, If they struggle for game then they can always get games as an overage player in the National Youth league.
