Luke Young Going to Liverpool

[Toronto Villa]

Is using "understands"trademarked by Sky Sports? It really is their own personal licence to state or print bullshit.

[PaulWinch again]

He's clearly going, so I'd rather he just left and we got him off the wage bill.

[TheSandman]

Can't imagine fulham will find it easier to afford his wages than liverpool, unless we pay him off. that said i'd prefer to sell our best right-back to a team not challenging for the top 4.

Yes but Greg. That story about his pay off was from Nursey in the Mirror which makes it less reliable than the story I just made up that we are set to sign Wesley Sneijder. It could be quite possible that the version of events stated here that he wouldn't want to move North is correct.

That said it ignores the fact we signed him from the well known London club Middlesborough

They read other journalists tweets on twitter and then use them.

'BBC Sport understands' is used to.

'BBC Sport understands Martin O'Neill won't be making any signings this transfer window.'

I'd agree he's not money motivated, but then again i wouldn't say he has no ambition even at 31. - after all he wants to leave cos MON won't play him..  I mean Liverpool or Fulham, who would you choose when he could catch a flight to London in an hour from liverpool?

[ROBBO]

Not that easy Greg, training most days, he could batch it up there and go home on Sundays. The wives have a big say i reckon.

[Monty]

Greg may have hit upon something there. Maybe he just wants to play.

[Greg N'Ash]

Dunno. i wouild say Liverpool would be too hard to turn down even at Young's age.  If its true.

[KevinGage]

He didn't want to feature in England squads just to spend long stints sitting on the bench. Despite Capello asking him personally to reconsider.

So first team football at Fulham or another southern club might appeal more.

[Monty]

Liverpool aren't quite the force they were. I'd say they're in a similar position to ourselves - playing catch-up to City and Spurs. It would be a sideways move in almost every respect: mainly a squad player, same position in the league, only actually paid less. I imagine at Fulham he'd play every week, he's better than Pantsil or Konchesky.

He's a better right back than what liverpool have - at defending anyway. I'd back him to play often with a manager who rates him.

[Monty]

He is a better defensive right back than Glen Johnson, but he's a worse defensive right back than Carlos Cuellar, and though he's better at attacking than the latter he's worse at attacking than the former. Bit of a no-win situation for him at either club.

[Karl Bridges]

Hughes has just been confirmed as Fulham manager, so we will see if the Sidwell and Young moves are going to happen.

[Greg N'Ash]

Personally i don't rate johnson at all. He got flogged by mourinho quick enough and he knows defenders.  to me i'd play young every time.
