Luke Young Going to Liverpool

[Mazrim]

A good player but just a full-back. That's the football equivalent of being a bass player.

Hehehe. Love it.

Bad analogy.

[TheSandman]

Bands need good bass players though not as much as guitarists, lead singers and drummers.

You only notice the bass player if he's shit.

[Oscar Arce]

Ridiculous decision by O'Niell once again.
One of the best right backs in the Premier League, but not good enough for us.
Another season of Kick-it-out Carlos beckons......

[eamonn]

Nuts that we are letting him to go.

Liverpool get a better right-back than they currently have and a better left-back than they currently have all for the price of one player.

He can only play in one place at any one time though ;)

[Concrete John]

I see a lot of people are saying we're better off without him and so on we need someone younger etc etc.

I agree Luke Young is not all that and that we could use a younger player but such is the scarcity of good right backs he is still one of the better ones around. I also see very little agreement from anyone on the right man to replace him.

Has anyone said that?  All I see is comments that he's not irreplacable.

I'd target Mich Richards as his replacement, Milner deal or not!

Yes one or two people have said we are better off with a younger player in there hence better off without them. I may even have been one of them.

As I've just said on the transfer thread Richards would be my choice but his poorer form in the last two years would be a concern that said I think with an injection of confidence he'll be great.

Not when he's Lemmy.

[Mazrim]

I've always thought Richards would be absolutely ideal for us. Not because he's the best right back around, just that he's the right age and the right sort of character to thrive amongst our players.
He's potentially a fantastic player too.

I can't see City parting with him unfortunately.

Yes, although I find that odd. They've replaced every other position with expensive signings. Sometimes twice. I'd be suprised if he stayed their right back for very long.

[maidstonevillain]

Good player and want him to stay, but I share the feeling that something hasn't been quite right since his brother's death.

Although I rate him I don't think he's so good that we can't buy a younger version, so I'll judge if it's right or wrong once we see who the replacement is.

Yes, I would agree with this. Hopefully his replacement isnt Carlos Cuellar who does a fine job when occasionally called upon but not a regular fixture there please.

My view also.

Full back is the hardest working player on the pitch and is becoming increasingly important with every season that passes.

Very poor decision to let him go and a huge disappointment.

He's also been linked with Spurs this summer.  I think he might be available.

[Phil from the upper holte]

Good player but life goes on. I just hope we can get someone decent in to replace him
