Villa to sell Luke Young on the cheap

[TheSandman]

I'm sure every club has situations like this. Players purchased that mysteriously end up leaving without really kicking a ball. There's always some behind there scenes stuff that we don't know about out. MON needs to answer a lot here, but I doubt Luke Young's an angel.

I agree but to be honest Luke would deserve a bit of time and space over the death of his brother. If Martin did not give him a bit of latitude because of that then it's pretty shabby.

Hold on. I remember at the time that the club were brilliant over that, and gave him all the time he needed to get over it. I don't think that's it at all. I think there's something else, and probably footballing reasons which they disagreed on. Something you probably can't blame him for if it is what we think it is. The question is how did he handle it, and how did MON respond?

Sorry. I'm not being particular clear.

I mean it may have had a profound effect upon Luke and may have led to him having a disagreement with Martin over football reasons or whatever because his mind wasn't quite right. I'm saying that Martin should have given him a bit of latitude over the disagreement because of the kind of place his head was in. It does take a long time for some people to get over the death of a relative.

Then again I'm speculating over something hypothetical that I have very limited knowledge of the facts of.

Good player, I am starting in a gradual way to wonder what Martin has against specilaist right backs.

Young L, is just a missed opportunity to see what one looks like.

I remember Brian Clough buying John Sheridan for Forest, who was very highly rated at the time, and then hardly ever played him.

As for Young, refusing to travel on a pre-season tour is a bit naughty, seeing as he's very well paid. It's a shame it's has'nt worked out, as he's a very good footballer.

[richard moore]

Ill buck the trend and say he is just ok as far as I'm concerned. I've never seen what others see in him to be honest...

[boboonthecorner]

Pity, but if he doesn't want to be here and the relationship isn't working out, then its fair enough.

I think he'll be easy to replace if we could cast our eye to the continent for just a moment.

How? The 'manager' has failed miserably for 4 years to find a right back so why would you have any confidence now?

The summer gets more depressing by the day.

I remember saying that very phrase in both 2008 and 2009.

I wonder if luke will spill the beans on mon in the same way sorensen did-would make interesting Reading.

[Phil from the upper holte]

As Villa are away Luke should take the opportunity to go into Martin's office and shit in the top drawer of his desk!

I'd get a load of old fish and rub it against the walls secreting the smelly juice all over the walls. I'd also see if there were any places that were difficult to get into and leave some fish in there to rot.

Martin arrives back from Ireland: 'Phew that is an horrendous, truly horrendous odour emanating from my office.'

Don't talk about Robbie keane like that :0)

It would be the first interesting thing associated with Reading!

And back on topic, Patrik Berger had things to say as well, didn't he?

But tbf, Maloney, Baros, Gardner, Ridgewell, Cahill et al have never had anything bad to say about the bloke have they?

[holteman83]

Real shame... he is class...had a really hard year.. wouldnt f been suprised if he hung his boots up.. nice to know he wants to carry on... he wants out.. i don't blame him he could get in most half decent teams first eleven....

That doesn't make any sense.
