Young days away from joining Man.Utd

[Ian.]

I have to agree with Myf, he has been a excellent player with a very, very good attitude on the pitch. Always gives 100% and would like to know how many og our goals have come from him in his time here.
If he's off the sooner the better for Villa though.

I thought he was going to sit down and talk with Randy and Paul once the season had finished must have been the shortest conversation in history

"Bye."

Other clubs seem to be able to grow after losing their best players,Spurs and to a certain extent Wigan,having sold their better players, can find replacements and build the team up again.  GH must've have known for ages that Young wasn't gonna sign a new contract,so he's probably got targets already out there.

This doesn't seem as bad as losing Milner as for ages most of us knew Young would be on his way.

I'll miss the little bugger, bloody cracking player on his day and when he was having a bad game you could still count on him to do more than his fair share of the dirty work.

Our main fault was playing too much through him, I think it cost us in 08/09 as we had no plan B other than put it out left and ask Ash to stick it in the box. When Milner grew we benefitted from it IMO.

Anyway, I thought he'd end up at Liverpool (right footed, left sided forward from Watford part 2), but with Owen leaving Man Utd and their #7 being free, and Giggs moving central it all just seems to fit.

I expect he'll do well there, although it may take a while and I doubt he'll ever be a genuine first teamer, but on the counter-attack away from home in the big games he'll be absolutely invaluable.

Good luck, Ashley!

As for us, improve by getting N'Zogbia - scores more goals from open play and better off the front man. Sweet.

My guess is "were United and we can take what we want, Villa who?" attitude.

What's most annoying about that is that they're probably right.

They're definitely right, which is why we move him on as quick as possible and reinvest that money as wisely as possible.

Replace our Carrick, Keane and Berbatov with our own Huddlestone, Modric and Bale.

Will be a major loss to Villa, as was Milner. 

Is absolutely correct.

People have very short memories. Admittedly hasn't had his best season but still BY FAR our most creative, inventive and dangerous player. He will be very difficult , but not impossible, to replace.

I predict that once settled by Christmas, he will become a key player and crowd favourite at United.

[The Man With A Stick]

I'm surprised he's stayed as long as he has, and at least we'll get a good fee for him.  Better him leave now than in 12 months for nothing.

Albrighton has had enough experience this season to step it up next season and I think he'll do well.

Who could we realistically get in to replace Young?

Charles N'Zogbia and Matt Jarvis are the only names I can think of at the moment. Unfortunately they're not a patch on Young.

David Bentley's an other option (put's on a tin hat and hides)

[Bottom Right 89]

Youngy now 8 to 1 on to join Man U with SkyBet - the cats out the bag somewhere.

If this means we get 20 million to spend elsewhere on players like Matt Jarvis and then Marc Albrighton gets more starts next season good luck to him. I didn't enjoy the whinging or the diving and some of the crap he served up from set pieces this season but he is undoubtedly a talented player who should be playing in the Champions League.

I'm currently in Ibiza and David Bentley was in a bar here last night buying everyone shots and and stumbling all over the place pissed as a fart.  After a while he started insulting a few people and giving it the biggun.  A prime wanker.  No thanks.

By contrast, a mate of mine was on holiday somewhere a few years ago (can't think where now) and Kevin Phillips was in the same hotel and got chatting to him by the pool bar and said he was a really nice down to earth chap.

As for Bentley, he's another player who seems happy with the money and not how his carreer is going. He'd be another waste of wages and we've had enought of those i think.

Yeah all the best Ash as it seems you are definitely going now - thanks for the memories and I for one will not be booing on your return to VP. Be nice if you don't celebrate either when you inevitably score against us !!

When he returns to VP with his new club and starts going down too easily to win free kicks or a penalty, you'll be booing with the rest of us!

[JUAN PABLO]

I'm in Perth Australia so I'm surrounded by ManU "fans" (I'm sure some of the think that Manchester is a suburb of London!) anyway NOT a single one here that I have spoken to rates him or wants ManU to sign him, if fact one for my sins that I have to work with says if it happens in his opinion it will be the worst signing in years.

Bit harsh and I know it means nothing because if Fegie has his plans none of the supporters are going to stop him nor should they with his record, so I'm wondering because I guess most of us have no choice but to rub shoulders with the glory hunting heathen red scum (can you tell that I don't like them?) what the general feeling amongst them is about possibly signing Young?

My guess is "were United and we can take what we want, Villa who?" attitude.

If he leave I have no problem with him joining them and after what we have witnessed for the last 2 seasons I honestly think he will struggle holding a place down there, good luck to him and as long as we get a good price for a player with 1 year left on his contract then we move on.

Ha, i remember they said the same thing when they signed Yorke. They didnt do too badly out of him did they, the wankers?

Young was never in Yorkes league ..
