Ashley Young: Staying or going?

[BannedUserIAT]

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

Cheers. Cuz VSM's getting the beers in for me so I'll likely double the figures!

[Chris Smith]

blah blah blah -If they add up to ZERO -blah blah blah

And that is why you haven't a clue.

Of course he gets things wrong now and again, but he's still our most important player.

[WALTERS WARRIORS]

He really pisses me off. But he is our most important player .....

£80 million..?!! Good on ya GH..

Probably end up being £7 million plus David Bentley.

[Blackcountry Villa]

£80m, one of the funniest things i've heard. No footballer is worth that let alone that whinging, diving little shit. All he did today was give the ball away and moan at everyone else. He's the most overrated player in the league.

Yawn.

By the standards he's set over the last couple of seasons, todays performance against arsenal wasn't too bad. It seems to me that someone's told him to wind his head in...the first indication being his applause of Banana's ballooned pass early in the first half. The next being his willingness to let someone else take a free kick.

Only one (probably justified) knee-grab, one shit corner, 5 rubbish passes - one that could have led to a shot on goal - and he only moaned at fellow Villa players 3 times. 

In a decidedly average team - although the youth DO look very promising at this early stage, i'll grant you - Ashley Young is decidedly average.

Should he be put on the transfer list, I wouldn't give a monkey's. I would much rather ensure we keep Bannan, Clark, Downing... 

I'll keep my score sheet ticking over for when we come across opposition that allow Young a bit more freedom to express himself though and then we'll see how he goes.

if someone offered us 15 mil for him, i would snap their hands off on current form....

[London Villan]

I don't want him to leave, I just wish he'd concentrate on his game and encourage the younger players opposed to moaning at them.

He is a senior pro here now and having a go at Bannan for a mis-placed pass is out of order.

If the rest of them moaned at him everytime he did something wrong they'd never shut up!

[olaftab]

I hope he goes.

[Percy McCarthy]

We need at least three quality players. If we need to cash in to get them then so be it. For me, Albrighton and Downing are currently better than him on right and left wing respectively, and Ash is far from undroppable in his new role.

[gervilla]

Rubbish today. Where is the "Genius" that O' Neill spoke about a few seasons ago. We havn't seen much of it lately.

[The Situation]

Ash plays so much better when Albrighton is in the team.

[Toronto Villa]

How about we put some quality players alongside Ash as opposed to blaming all of our ills on him? How about the theory that while he is and has been a very good player for us, maybe, just maybe he needs some help? And that he actually wants to do well, and while he needs to improve in a number of areas, as do most players, he gets frustrsted at himself as much as he does with others. Some people are so quick to cast our own aside. It's Ash now, Gabby has had his critics, as has Downing. We really can be our own worst enemies sometimes.

[Phil from the upper holte]

He wasn't our worst player today but he wasn't our best either.

I don't want him to go but I think people are going a bit OTT about him
