Keep him, he still can do a job for us on either side of defence.

Luke Young is underrated and is a more than adequate full back on either flank.

Good defender, looks lost and confused in the final third of the pitch but I'd rather keep him.
He can play either side and is one of the better full backs we have had in the last 5-10 years.

Solid right back, and that's all you need your fullbacks to be at our current level.

Decent value out of him, if he was a big earner and we'll get no return - shame we didn't spend the Beye money on a decent young fullback who'd be ready to come in now.

I think him and Lichaj should be our cover for the right side, with LY as back up for the LB position as well we should definitley hold onto him.

Definatley keep him. The defence looked a lot more solid when he came back in towards the end of last season.

1 year left on his contract so won't get much for him (given Liverpool were only offering 2.5m for him last summer) so might aswell keep him for another year as he can cover both full back roles well enough.

I think he plays better as a left back aswell, end of last season he played really well imo.

Based on last season's performances he deserves a starting place. One of the few that actually earned their wages last season, always gives 100% and not scared of putting his foot in. Strangley I prefer him at left back than right back but that's probably as he's played there more often.

I think he has one more good season in him. Next summer we should review the situation but for now, there are far more pressing issues to resolve.

Good solid player, should be keeping him.  Think he'll be good for another two seasons.

Only as a RB, but even then keep if we can't find better.

Yep, keep. 

Under-used in past couple of years, still has something to offer and experience is a bit short across the team.

Deserves a run and, like others say, is solid enough while we focus on other priorities.  Would like to see Eric get a chance occasionally if competing for same position, too.
