Ashley Young: Staying or going?

[LeeB]

I find it amusing that someone called "hawkeye" can't find his shift key.

[Mazrim]

I dont even know what the beef is and the reason for all the prickliness. I've asked several times now where you disagree with what I said Hawkeye. Still no joy.
And what attacks?

[olaftab]

Not sure if it's going to be Arsenal but I have a feeling his Agent has convinced him that he can earn more somewhere else and if it's not Jan it will be  in the Summer.

[rjp]

Gerard says he's not going anywhere in January.

"They would have to buy this club for that to happen. They would have to come in with a ridiculous amount of money."

[Blackcountry Villa]

Sell him in January while his value is still high. If we get anywhere near £20m for him we've robbed them, he's the most overrated player in the league imo. Very predictable footballer with no plan B, he cuts inside and overhits a cross or dives, and put him up against a decent fullback and he struggles. He's in it for himself aswell, constantly moaning and whinging either at his own players or the ref.

[villa for life]

we've got to sell him to some other club who are in a sticky position with one of their players - i.e. spurs and Kranjcar

[Muscle-Dolphin]

Going.  We need to get top dollar for him in January.  He lacks a finishing touch.

Ever since that former manager of ours (who's name I've forgotten) broadcast
he was 'world class' or something similar Young7 has let it go to his head,
and not his feet -

Whilst I'm not party to what goes on at the training ground or instructions
given by the coaching staff, why is it that he appears to take most, if not all,
free kicks on the edge of the penalty area ? Downing & Bannan strike a
better delivery than Ashley at this present time.

Today he chased the referee 50 yards protesting after a decision wasn't
given in our favour instead of getting on with his game - and second half
even inflamed the travelling Villa support with a ridiculous dive -

He is in danger of losing the fans by petulant behaviour instead of
being a role model ............but maybe it's a trait he can't alter ?

I think the word "Genius" was used by MON.

[Linus]

After today I wouldn't blame him one bit if he went. Just not to Spurs. Please not to Spurs.

[SoccerHQ]

I'd sell in January if we get a 15m + offer tbh.

I think he's overrated in the free role, apart from a decent second half against Manure, he's failed to majorly impact any game I've seen live this season (I didn't see the West Ham and Everton games).

[BannedUserIAT]

I'd be most interested in seeing if there's a stats page that tells us who Ash passes to. Maybe I'm going a bit nuts but i'm sure he's avoiding passing to Bananaman! There were many times that he was in acres of space and was ignored by Young who chose instead to take on the entire Blackburn team single handedly.

And his bollocking of the wee man was well out of order.

He also seems to think he has the best free-kick taking ability of the team but I'd rather ANYONE but him take them...and that includes Carlos - even an injured Carlos! 

I'm actually at the stage where I can't stand Ashley Young.

I think his an overrated footballer and quite limited in his skills. Would definately sell if someone came up with the right money. Players with a footballing brain like Bannan will always be more valuable than any A.Young. A few more footballing brains in midfield and a couple of hooligan goalscorers and we have the makings of a very good  side.

Marlon King in the transfer window then plus Andy Carroll.

[TheSandman]

If we sell him for more than say, £12million I'd be happy.

If we invested that in a good young and athletic defensive midfielder like M'Vila then I'd be delighted.

Picture a midfield of Bannan, Delph and M'Vila or similar. It is the stuff dreams are made of for me.

We'd also have a happier team for not having to accommodate one winger too many and would retain the potentially fantastic Albrighton and the much improved Stewie Downing.

On top of this if we pot Carew, Sidwell, Davies and Warnock amongst others it would be a great window. If we combine the money relieved from showing them the door and the Milner money we could get a new striker to compete with Gabby, a new left back, possibly a new goalie (long term replacement for Brad) and a back up wing player to back up Super Stewie and Mighty Marc and that is cooking with gas.

I am unsure of right back... I think that Lichaj COULD be a regular there for us hence, I am unsure if we need a replacement for an aging Luke Young and Habib Beye.

I really am getting ahead of myself though.
