Contenders for Signing Ashley Young

[Rip Van We Go Again]

So far Ashley has scored 8 league goals in this striking role, amongst that are penalties that he previously did not take.

Last season he scored 14 from the wing.

If that doesn't prove he's not in his best position, I don't know what does.

Here's some seperate evidence from Wikipedia that show's that he's not the player he was.

On 10 October 2008 Young won the Player of the Month award.
This was due to his performances in the 2008–2009 Premier League season. Having also won the award in April 2008, Young joins the list of players who have won the award more than once including Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney and Steven Gerrard.

 On 7 December 2008 in the 3–2 win over Everton, Young scored two goals, one being an injury time winner after Everton's Joleon Lescott had equalised seconds earlier putting his tally for the season up to five. Manager O'Neill later described the player as being 'world-class' in the post-match press conference.

Ashley Young signed a new four-year contract until 2012 on the 4 November 2008. On 10 January 2009 Young was again awarded Player of the Month for December along with manager Martin O'Neill, who won the Manager of the Month award. He became the first ever player to win three FA Premiership Player of the Month awards in the same year

I wouldn't mind having Walker from Spurs plus 7 to 8 million but i think he will go this summer i should presume ManUre could be his most likely destination.

I'm not at all convince by Walker so to swap him for Young seems ludicrous. Sell him if they want but I'd rather get a player that would be better for us than a right-back.

I think Walker is good enough to play right midfield.

If we could get Walker and some money I'd be delighted. He can be a useful player and will combine attacking enterprise with greater defensive qualities than Johnson.

Spurs would be insane to get rid of him and persist with the likes of Corluka and Hutton though.

I happen to agree that he will go to Man Utd, but people who think we will get anywhere near £20 million are deluded! We have a player who will be in the last year of his contract. Realistically, we will get £10-£12 million or Kyle Walker in a swap.

How is walker £12M?

[Rip Van We Go Again]

I reckon we'll get £12m-ish for Young.

Walker would be about £5m, but I can't see him wanting to come here.

I'm sure Ashley is off in the summer and I don't reckon anyone in the top 4 bar Spurs would be after him so if we got Walker as part of the package that might not be a bad shout. I would hope for lots of money plus Walker though.

[JJ-AV]

I'll be gutted if he goes tbh. But he does need to go out back left (although I don't think he's been a failure off the front).

[timeoutbigbar]

Didn't Spurs pay 5 million for Walker in the first place?  Judging by his performances for us and the general inflation due to being English, i'd think they'd try and ask for about double that.

[Dante Lavelli]

I think spurs paid in the order of 7m for the two Kyles from Sheffield Utd. At the time naughton was rated higher so I'd guess he made up the larger chunk of the 7ish million.

Either way they've done well out of it. At the time I thought they were mad to sign two young right backs when they already had Corluka and possibly Hutton but sending them both on loan successfully hedged their bets and they'd now make a decent profit. Levy is a cunning little f**ker.

An exeptional, young English right back. Glen Johnson went for £18 million, I think if we wanted to buy Kyle Walker it would cost us upwards of £10 million.

A tall, quick, young, attacking, English full back. Glen Johnson went for £18 million and Kyle looks a far better prospect to me. He wouldn't go for less than £10 million as I am pretty sure they paid about £4 million for him before he had played Premier League football/recieved an England call up.

Don't think 10m on a right back is where we want to be heading
