Luke Young Going to Liverpool

[sfx412]

No, I won't even attempt to 'catch up' as I simply don't agree with you.  Deal with it.

Nah

I never argue with an idiot. They'll just drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

[Concrete John]

Hard to be dragged down when you're already on the bottom rung of the ladder.

[Risso]

The manager picks the team, that's his job and he prefered Cuellar to him and our defensive record last season justifies that choice.

Let's hope that the other players realise that bleating to the press when you're replaceable doesn't do you any favours.

Let's hope that the manager realises that he's not Brian Clough or Alex Ferguson, and that more and more players seem to be getting the hump with him.

[JUAN PABLO]

When did he bleat to the press?

Here

He also openly criticised the Moscow decision. And having to play left back.

there you are he's not only a good footballer he speaks the truth too.

still cant believe MON brought him back for the cheski game...  when we need an attacking fullback againt the like of wolves and west hams at home, he played defensive Cullar and then when we played free scoring chelski, he drops cuellar for Young...Strange decision

[eastie]

Tensions are running high in here chaps, I find john m usually  puts a fairly balanced view of things , unlike some people who just agree with everything o neill says and does , I do agree though that o neill hasn't really given luke a fair crack at right back and I feel we are at best now standing still under his management.

I do not see mr o neill lasting much longer but I respect the views of people who do.

[dave.woodhall]

Yet again - pack in the personal stuff. Naughty step for the next transgressor.

[Small Rodent]

I can't believe all this myth that MON thinks he's Clough. You can admire someone without wanting to be him.

[Concrete John]

I don't think that, but I do think there will be elements of Clough's management style he has picked up and/or will try to emulate.  Don't think you can play for someone like that without them having an influence on you.

[eastie]

It's when he walks out in an old green sweater we need to start worrying.

[Concrete John]

Or when he starts punching the fans.  I can think of a few candidates he'd probably like to get his hands on.....

[TheSandman]

I don't think that would solely be limited to him or even the most positive percentiles on this site.

[Phil from the upper holte]

I don't blame Young, Let's hope MON realises that treating players like shit does not do him any favours.

He hasn't been treated like shit, what a silly thing to say.

The manager picks the team, that's his job and he prefered Cuellar to him and our defensive record last season justifies that choice.

Let's hope that the other players realise that bleating to the press when you're replaceable doesn't do you any favours.

Its my belief that he was Chris and please don't call me silly.

He did absolutely nothing wrong, He tried to get back in the team and was ignored. He even said so. The mighty mon turned round and said those that were up for sale had themselves to blame. It looks like he's going to be going anyway so its not that important now. He isn't the only one treated badly by mon, Ask Beye, Shorey, Sidwell NRC, Luke Moore, Maloney and there are more to add to that list and probably will be more in the future.

Sky Sports:

Skysports.com understands Fulham are leading the race to sign Aston Villa defender Luke Young.

Liverpool appeared to be favourites to land the versatile defender after agreeing a deal with Villa, but it understood the move has collapsed as the player does not want to move his family north.

The former Tottenham and Charlton man is believed to be holding out for a move back to the capital as he seeks a switch away from Villa.

Villa are ready to offload Young after he dropped well down the pecking order in Martin O'Neill's plans.

A number of clubs including Sunderland and Fulham are believed to have expressed an interest in the 31-year-old, but Fulham are favourites for his signature.

Fulham have held a long-term interest in Young and incoming boss Mark Hughes is believed to be ready to push through a deal for the former England international as he looks to bolster the squad at Craven Cottage.

[Greg N'Ash]

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.

[olaftab]

Move  to Liverpool in doubt because Luke Young wants a pay off from us due to lower wage offered by Lpool.
Greedy f*cker. Should pay back  some money for being a complete arse last season.
