Ashley Young: Staying or going?

[N'ZMAV]

Fuck him off to Man City if we can't keep him.

When I saw this thread title I was concerned, but then it's Talksport.

I don't think anyone wants him to leave me included! but if its a case of him not wanting to sign a new contract then we have to sell him jan otherwise we'll lose a lot of money on him!

I would rather sell him in Jan for £20-£25M rather than £10m in the summer

   I haven't got a problem with CCBB post......it's all about opinions.

   But let me expand on my reasons.Villa currently play a 4-2-3-1 system.The lone striker will generally be Gabby barring any other signings.The 3 midfield players behind have to be fast, and good footballers , but more importantly score goals.......the one in the middle in partic needs to get at least 12 goals a season.The 2 wideish players need to score about 10 each.Albrighton and Downing are on target, Ash is'nt.

   I'm a big fan of Ashley, but as some on here have already inferred he is not producing as good a delivery as he was 2 seasons ago, and his final ball/pass/shot is sometimes found wanting.With his reluctance to sign a longer term contract, and taking his age into account, if a bid of £18m+ was offered then i might be tempted.

 If he signed a long-term contract though, don't sell him.He is one of our better players, i did'nt say he was'nt.

I like him but the contract issue is the big thing. If Arsenal do come in for him, he's a go(o)ner. Would definitely be looking at Jarvis if he left.

Although jarvis is a good player, I hope we'd be aiming a bit higher

Yes, the same TalkSport that broke the news that Bob Bradley was going to be our new manager.

I thought it was a Young/Lennon swap deal that was being mooted as the latest bollocks rumour?

[Brian Taylor]

"We are not a selling club"!! It was decided here at least two players,  sorry months, ago

24 years old, scores goals, plays quality balls into the box, including corners and would improve playing in a better team than Wolves. Has been praised for having a good football brain. I think he would compliment our young side very well. Plus my boss supports Wolves and tells me how brilliant he is and how he really nees to play with a better team to keep improving.

I agree Jarvis is quality, would love him at the Villa, he is way to good for wolves, their level is stephen Hunt

[barrysleftfoot]

   Would'nt swap Young for Lennon tbh.


   Might be interested in Gibbs at Arse though.....thats not a bad shout.I quit like their young Swiss C/H as well.

I'm not sayin I wouldn't have him just think Young's replacement should be better

A mate of mine text TalkSport earlier and asked them where they got their 'exclusive' story from. They did'nt read out his text so he sent another one along the lines of 'It can't be true because it has'nt been on Sky Sports and they normally get things right'.

He received a reply back a little while later saying they were not going to read out his email and his number had been put on their banned list.

Hmmm.

[atomicjam]

Talk Sport is crap and someone adding to it via Twitter does not make things any more likely. I do not buy this. I think we would want more than Arse would want to pay, and for some reason I just cannot see him playing for  them. A made up storey is an easy way for a rubbish broadcaster to get some publicity.
