Young did nothing much on Sunday and everytime Sky shot to him he just has this stinking attitude.

He's starting to piss me off more and more and if we sign a striker I'd have Downing & Albrighton on the wings ahead of Ash.

He runs his nuts off for the Villa, and he's easily our most hardest working player.
I've never seen evidence of this stinking attitude you talk of.

A lot of fans won't realise how good Young is until he's gone.

Ashley Young IMO is one of those players that if he played for another club I'd bloody hate him.

Hate him to go, wish he'd play to his strengths a lot more though.

I agree,sometimes it looks like he has a dodgy attitude,i just think he has a huge desire to win,he's probably the hardest worker in the team,sometimes he tries too much and over does things,but we'd be a much poorer team without him.

Yes, and he's a diver.

Most players dive. So what? For the part, he gets kicked all over the place by defenders.
He's a fantastic player and I'm glad he's at our club. I'm dumfounded anyone can claim he has a bad attitude when it seems to me he's got the best attitude of any player at the club. He's our most hard working player, easily.

Ashley Young isn't a player you build a club around. But he's one of the first pieces after that. He's a fantastic player, and we need more players like him, not less. Are there things that he needs to improve? Off course. But the fact that some people actulally "want" to sell him is madness.

I'd be absolutely gutted if he left. Much more so than Milner or Barry. I think it'd be comparable to Yorkie, even if he's nowhere near as good.


Same here. Not sure where all this 'stinking attitude' comes from. He looked pissed off on Sunday when his header hit the bar, and again when Robinson blocked one of his shots. So what? If he was a lazy sod, a luxury player who stood still half the time and disappeared from matches, I could understand it, but Young is always on the move, always running, always looking for the ball. One of the hardest-working forwards in the league, IMO.

On the wing.

The game bypasses him too much in the centre, he's not much more influential than Ireland in the role from what I've seen of him there this season.

Be interesting to see what people think of Young if in the summer he decides to not renew his contract and leave.

Indeed, but that's a long way off and selling him any sooner would be lunacy.

I'd only keep him in January if we're still in the Carling cup.

I really can't see what difference to our league position he'll make saying for a few more months, it's not like he's going to fire us into the top 4 by himself.

I agree with this.

I don't think he's going to sign a new deal.

If we could get Ł25m for him in January, I'm afraid I'd sell.

I'll probably think that it's a shame because he's one of our best players. But also that he'll have given us four and a half years of his career and that if he thinks it's time to move on then c'est la vie.

I'd be gutted. I certainly wouldn't pretend he wasn't that good anyway just because he decided to leave.
