Contenders for Signing Ashley Young

[Tokyo Sexwhale]

Great, let's have an auction!

[UsualSuspect]

Let the bidding war begin
Spurs hold the ace card in walker and maybe cudiccini

Ace card?

How the fuck is Cudicini an ace card?

He's a three of clubs at best.

Or one of those crap cards in Top Trumps

[Hoppo]

Swap for Darren Gibson Tom Cleverley and Johnny Evans.

I hope this is completely off topic, and not related to Ashley Young because I wouldn't want any of them. Also we should only go for straight cash unless it's a deal involving Walker.

[Hoppo]

In an ideal world I would agree but its time we got in the real world were not going to be challenging top 6 anytime soon and need to rebuild a SQUAD!

[Toronto Villa]

Given recent events, I would imagine GH will want to start with players he knows want to be 100% dedicated to the club. Ash won't sign a new deal it appears and so he won't want any distractions heading into the 2011/2012 season. I expect that he will go in the 12-15 million range.

I don't know that he isn't good enough for Man U. When they signed Nani it appeared that he wasn't good enough either but he's come on brilliantly. Ash will know that if he goes to Man U he won't be guaranteed a damn thing. Set pieces, starting place and certainly not the captaincy. Nothing will be guaranteed, and he will be rotated with everyone else. He will have to up his game and likely will do because the situation, the competitive environment and quite frankly, by having better players around him.

Also, the money won't be a barrier. Man U have shelled out a lot of money on dross over the years as well as on some very good players. They paid a lot of money for the Bebe bloke in the summer and he's been a disaster.

Spurs awaits.

If he goes to Spurs, we keep Walker and there is that extra from Supergrass they have knocking about that I wouldnt mind, Bale I think his name is. 

[CJ]

Wherever he goes I think it will be as a wide left player.  Can only see Spurs being in for him if they sell Bale for sillybucks. If Bale stays they've got him on the left and Aaron "eyebrows" Lennon on the right.  Having said that if they do get loads of money for Bale it could spark a nice bidding war between Spurs, Manure and 'Pool.

Personally I think he will end up at Manure - wide left as a replacement for Giggs. SRAlex won't put up with any of his histrionics and so he'll have to focus on what he's good at rather than falling over and waving.  Of the three potential destinations for some unknown reason I find this one the least offensive

Unless one of the categories is  'Motorcycle crashes involved in'.

Definitely Liverpool. Daglish will be given the money to make Liverpool British again, Ashley will go there along with Adam... And maybe Cahill or Jarvis.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Well, as he has moved back down south I would say he is Spurs bound

If we get Walker out of it, maybe it's a good thing.

Walker and £10 million would be nice.

I could live with that.

So could I, as long as the money is invested wisely.

I still think Scott Sinclair could take the place of Ashley Young.

[Salsa Party Animal]

I would take 10 millions plus Walker and then use the money to buy Matt Jarvis or a hot foreign winger

[JJ-AV]

I think we'd be lucky to get any money as well as Walker. Spurs don't want to sell, I doubt he'd push for a move, he's just got into the England squad etc. If he were on the market he'd be going for £10m+. We'll do well to get more than for Ashley.

We bought him for £9 million and he's improved immensely since then. 

£15 million will be a minimum but I actually think we will get more than that for him.
