Ashley Young: Staying or going?

[Rip Van We Go Again]

This thread is worse than the "Who do you want out" thread.

What really annoys me about A Young is that when another player misplaces a pass he has a go - fair enough, but when Young misplaces a pass or puts a cross in 30 feet over the striker's head, it is always the other player's fault so far as Young is concerned and he stands there pouting or holding out his arms as if to say 'look at the dross I have to play with'.

I think he's a good player in poor form at the moment, and his attitude stinks. Compare him with Messi who, difference in skills aside, plays the game with a smaile on his face. He makes it look enjoyable. Young looks like he's constantly in a bad mood.

Jesus wept!

Why is he weeping? I thought the post was bang on. Young's a petulant little up-himself, over-rated little oik who thinks he's God's gift to Villa.

Rubbish. He works as hard for the team as any winger I can remember.

Agree.
I've never seen a winger track back as much as he does.

So because you don't agree that means he is wrong??? :-s

When signing autographs for the kids at Bodymoor this lunchtime he was told he should be signing his contract rather than my lads shirt.

'what contract' he replied. Read into that what you will.

Did he dive as he said it ? !!

I read into that, that he's waiting to see whether he can get a payday like Fat Barry and Jimmy if he can.

I would love him to stay, but am a little resigned to losing him sadly.

Nope, he's wrong because he's wrong.

He's our best and most creative player who rarely misses a game and works his socks off every week.

[PaulTheVillan]

He's wrong because he's wrong.

I like it.

Would that work in court?

If the Jury were football fans, yes. However, if they didn't know their arse from their elbow when it came to the game then there's a chance they'd agree with Troy.

I agree with that Chris, but I did see signs of what the other posters are talking about in the Blackburn match.  There was one moment where Bannan (I think) tried a long pass to Young out on the wing, which he overhit and went out for a throw.  Young gave Bannan a mean look and threw his arms up in frustration.  Something or nothing maybe, but possibly not the most encouraging thing to do in the circumstances.

You're right of course, Chris. You're never wrong.
He NEVER has a go at other players, he NEVER misplaces a pass or NEVER over hits crosses and shots into the stand, he NEVER gets a strop when the ref doesn't fall for his little diving fairy routine, he NEVER loses the ball through any fault of his own and NEVER stands there grabbing his knees like he's been hit by a fucking train.

Must be some other petulant little fuck I'm watching.

Tell you what, let's add up the number of the balloonned shots/crosses/free kicks against Arsenal. Let's count the number of hit-by-a-train knee-grabs. Let's count the fairy-dives followed by arms in the air pleading to the ref while his team-mates get on with it. Let's see how many times he scowls at his own players.

If they add up to ZERO, I'll come back on here and admit that you are, in fact, the great footballing oracle.
But if..no WHEN...I'm right and those stats go well into double figures, you go ahead and kiss my arse!

[Legion]

I'll be on Young-watch tomorrow. Seriously. I'll count the number of times he does all of the above.

[saunders_heroes]

If Young even rolls his eyes in frustration tomorrow it'll be a sure sign he's on his way out of Aston Villa.
Didn't realise there were so many body language experts on here until I read this thread.

[ROBBO]

I think you are both right. AY does look for the free too often, is frustrating at times and does have a go at  his teammates, but he works his but off always looks like he wahts to win and when on form is our most damaging player. He looks as if he is trying too hard in a weakened side. Do i want him sold? he is in the top three at the club and we can't afford to lose him after Barry and Milner.
