Young days away from joining Man.Utd

[villa for life]

I don't think he's good enough for Man U and I'm not the kind to hold a grudge against our players moving on. I thought Milner and Barry were excellent players who would go on to have success and they have. They've already won silverware and may one day get to lift the premiership or win the champions league.
Young, though, for me is just different. I really don't think he's good enough. I think he's good for us and we are good for him. I can see him moving on and feeling the pressure, a bit like when Darren Bent moved to Spurs for big money.

He's a better player than Valencia and you cannot begrudge him moving there. We will get a good price for him and the opportunity to replace him with somebody just as good, in my opinion, in N’Zogbia.

[Villanation]

Quite honestly once he leaves Villa I couldn't give a hoot if he never gets of the bench at whatever respective club he goes to, he will use whatever he has in his locker to bury us given the slightest opportunity, and actually I agree with villaforlife, personally I think he will be warming the bench far more than he will be actually playing.

[Chris Smith]

Not sure Chris. With their rotation policy i think he could struggle to get any consistency which comes with playing week in week out. I can certainly see him annoying sections of the manc's support.

I go along with that.  On his day he will be good enough easily but last seasons form overall wasn't one of consistency.  Also, when he starts his knee dance I can see the crowd there getting irritated with his antics.

If they put up with Ronaldo's antics in his first season and Nani's in every single game they'll cope with Ash. I also think his work rate will mean that he'll be forgiven the odd bit of poor form. I'm interested to see where they'll play him.

On the wing, where else?  Ferguson isn't stupid, and the chances of Young taking the place of either Rooney, Hernandez or Berbabatov up front have to be remote.

Probably but I can also see him being used as an attacking midfield player and being developed as a replacement for the role that Giggs does now (not shagging c list celebs).

Shagging C listers would be a step up from greasing his weasel on the interweb.

I'd agree with you on N'Zogbia. I'm not too sure there's much in it between Ash and Valencia though.

I agree with you Pablo........He has got 10 bookings this season @ least 8 of those are for diving or dissent and that proves his poor attitude

However MU are rarely punished for these types of things so this will also work in thier favour...

[Tuscans]

Get in Sebastian Larsson on a free, will be on half of what Young was on. Try and nab Joey Barton for peanuts and you have twice the player Reo-Coker is. See if we can make a bid for Scott Dann and pinch Shay Given and I dont think we have a bad team there.

                                        Given

Walker (loan)    Collins                    Dann             L.Young

                        Makoun                  Delph

Larsson                                                               Downing
                                       Barton

                                        Bent

...im my opinion thats just a few additions that would be gettable and would lower our wage bill further. Throw in 1 or 2 and give more game time Albrighton, Bannan, Clarke and Delfounso and I dont think we'll have a poor a season as the last one.

                                     

                                                         

[PaulWinch again]

I don't think Larsson could be anything more than a squad player and we need better to replace Ash.

[taylorsworkrate]

I think Valencia's form since he came back from injury has been much better than Ashley's this season.

[Salsa Party Animal]

I don't think Ashley will like Sir Alex's management but Sir Alex will get him performing better than 3 years ago at Villa.

[Somniloquism]

Well at least our best players are now leaving to go to good clubs to win things rather then Middlesvilla.

[KevinGage]

If he goes to Man U this summer, I can see him ending up at Tottingham in maybe 12 months- after a season of being in and out of the side. That might still be enough to snaffle a medal or two though.

Personally, I'd rather we said 'foreign deal this summer, or you see out your contract.' If he values his England place and all the rest of it, what else could he do?I hate the way those Manc scabs think they have a divine right to cherry pick other clubs best players.

But it isn't cherry picking as such. And I guess Sunderland fans might be moaning about us getting Bent in a similar way to us moaning about the last two summers moves and this potential one.

[KevinGage]

The Bent deal wasn't typical though.

Certainly we haven't raided them for their star players in the past (well I suppose Sorensen and McCann, but they did actually want/need to sell as they had just gone down).

First Yorke and now Young. With Barry and Milner going to the other Manc lot. It's as if we're a finishing school or summat.

I understand the economics of the deal, I'd just rather we didn't sell to that lot (or the Redscouse/Tottingham).
