Luke Young Going to Liverpool

[Rudy Can't Fail]

He'll play less games next season than he did last if he moves there.

I see Mr Nostradamus has returned and hacked into your account Chris. (winky)

Thing is Chris, that might well be true. But I'm pretty sure he'll play more games there next season than he would at Villa next season.

I think its a good move for all concerned.  Luke has a chance to get into the Liverpool squad, and play games.  Not good enough to get into our team, which is better than Liverpool, so lets sell him, take the money and cut the wage bill and invest elsewhere

Love your enthusiasm Moet.

How can you see MON 'investing' a paltry £2.5 million in a better right back than Luke Young ?

Touché, I deserved that - although I don't see him displacing Glen Johnson.

You complained about me getting ahead of myself last week with my predictions. I'm not saying he's guaranteed to start but for all we know Glen Johnson could break his leg 1st September.

It's the wages though and the 25 man squad that is more pertinent I'd have thought.

He could, but I'm sure that sure that Hodgson is only signing him as cover.

Possibly.  Or maybe he thinks that Luke Young's superior defending makes him a more balanced right back than Johnson.  Who knows.

If I was Hodgson, i'd play Luke at right back and stick Johnson on the right wing.

As far as the 25 man squad rules we dont have a issue as we have 14 homegrown U/21's to choose from........Its the wages and the fact that MON wants rid of him

He's a better defender than Johnson that's for sure but then that's no great accolade in itself.  

I'm not that fussed about his departure, in all truthfulness, it's been on the cards for most of last season and If it helps us get the wage bill down all well and good.

You don't need to include U21s in the 25 so I'm not sure what relevance that has. In any case it's the squad on 1st of September that is the issue not 28th July.

He'll play left back for them i reckon.

[smudger]

BTW. I can only see sense in getting rid because of wages if he doesn't deserve to be in the first team. He does deserve to, so he should stay. It should be Young, Cuellar or Collins, Dunne and Warnock as the back 4 next season. I can understand getting rid of Beye if this Lichaj is as good as made out to be though. The only thing that i can think re Young being sold is that the rumour about him trying to lead some sort of revolt against MON after the Moscow debacle is true. I suppose MON has to lay down the law and show who is in charge from that respect (if true).

[MoetVillan]

If I was Woy, I would seriously consider moving Johnson into midfield.  Its only his pace that makes up for the fact that he is an average defender at best.  So why not play him as a winger, and then overlap with Young?  Watching Johnson at Liverpool and for England makes me think someone told him he is the equivalent of Ashley Cole on the otherside.  He is way short of that.  If Liverpool play to the strengths of their squad they should be able to cement seventh next year.
