Obertan
This week, North American Soccer League (NASL) side Charlotte Independence - playing in the second-tier of domestic United States soccer - announced the signing of former Manchester United winger Gabriel Obertan.
The most striking aspect of this transfer for neutral observers is not that the former Premier League winger should have ended up in a relatively obscure location - Obertan's nomadic career has included spells in such far flung locations as Bulgaria, Turkey and Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
It is the fact that Obertan, one of those players who has semmingly been around forever, is still only 32 years old.
