Sorry for starting this lads and move if need be mods (apologies in advance)
Perfectly reasonable thread to start, but some sort of useful title as to what the thread is about would be a good idea

Both very good players that I hope we keep. We have to put a stop to losing a top player every summer, it gives the impression that we are a selling club and isn't a good message to send to the rest of the squad.

It always makes me laugh when I read from those who reckon Ash isn't that good advocating that we sell him to Manu. In effect the poster is suggesting that they're a better judge of a player than Ferguson.

Am I allowed to be on this one? Seemed like a newbie thread ;)

Ash - Goodbye

Downing - Keep

That is all

i would get rid of both for the right money and replace.... matt jarvis for example could easily replace both... and im sure with our fancy new scouting that we could attract someone with real potential...

downing has improved, but that wouldnt be hard considering how poor he was last year, but he is still enfuriating with his powerpuff girl tackling... and when he is off form, he is pretty much pointless...

as for young, i am sick to death of seeing him fall over and complain at the referee... and that is pretty much his game these days no matter where he plays... for the position he is being shoehorned into to try and placate his ego, we could replace him wth consummate ease... i personally think that we already have a player better suited to that particular position he is being wasted in, with delfouneso or delph...

Downing has been our player of the season so far, he has been the most consistent throughout the season.

I have a feeling next season Clark will be first choice CB and Albrighton will be first choice right winger with Downing moving to the left, his best position.

AGree shrek, downing has been our best player this season in my opinion and I see him and albrighton as our wide players next season,and agree that Clark will be our centre back, on young I feel sadly that he will move to newer pastures and would not be at all surprised if man utd were interested in him .

Sadly i think he would fit in great at Man U because of his energy, he could rotate with giggs on the left or play behind Rooney in the big games.

But i still have hope he might sign!

Downing is on for player of the season IMO (its been a bad year)

Ash, offer him big wages to stay and then flog after 12 months for £30m
