Villa to sell Luke Young on the cheap

[pauliewalnuts]

I thought the cheering when he came on, and subsequently whenever he touched the ball, in the last game of the season was very pointed indeed.

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

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?

Maloney did. I know as I posted the thread.

Didn't know that. Can you find it 'cos I'd be interested to take a butcher's.

Can't believe I actually found it!

That isn't pretty reading, is it?

[Greg N'Ash]

thats what worries me about MON. If you totally fall out with a player because you think he's had a shite game, you're going to have a high turnover of players leaving. Probably explains Young, Shorey et...

No, not in the slightest. I was looking it up online to see if there was a direct quote regarding Maloney's chance by O'Neill but I don't think it matters really. Maloney had failed him, ergo he was persona non grata.

The strange thing is that Maloney seems to say a lot more by his circumspection. Although there is a lack of detail about his and O'Neill's relationship, O'Neill still comes out of it looking like an ultra shit.

I won’t criticise O’Neill over Maloney. All the Prozac in the world couldn’t put a smile on the miserable buggers face.

My ex-girlfriend used to call him Donkey Legs. Because he was a donkey and he, well, had legs.

I kind of agree with you, in the sense that he was obviously a player who didn't feel able to perform outside his comfort zone, ie that with which he was familiar.

However, I thought he was a decent player, and at times we saw it. In MON's mistake list, he's down towards the bottom, if only because we got more for him than we paid for him, and he wasn't here that long to sap wages.

It isn't nice to read that sort of thing about the way the manager treated him, though.

[curiousorange]

The way he took those two goals at Stamford Bridge on Boxing Day '07 showed why he was a player with such potential.

He must have known what Maloney was like from his time at Celtic.  OK Maloney was an overly sensitive little soul, but there's no point buying a young player like that then treating him in a way you know he'll react badly to.

For a so called motivational expert, O'Neill really isn't much of a people person.

Another good player, oh well.

And - this is the sad bit - maybe if the manager hadn't decided to blank him for three months, we might have got the best out of him.

This little topic puts me in mind of a PE teacher I used to have. If you were one of his guys and you obviously had the ability, you'd always be okay. But if your face didn't fit or you were capable of a bit of independent thought, he would make your life a misery.

MON been a PE teacher makes so much sense.

Thick, rude and mean!
