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

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.

Ill be there Tuesday. will you be still there ?

I think he'll struggle to get games there unless his form dramatically improves. A good player but not half the player Yorke was.

It is sad to see him leave, but I reckon we will get a better replacement for 4 millions less than Ashley fee. Perhaps the Ivory coast player we were linked.

Wishful thinking, he's more than good enough.

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.

He is good enough, and as I say I don't begrudge him going to Man Utd. He's given us good service, and he's going to the Champions so that's fair enough.

One things for sure, he'll get more protection from referees when he's playing for Man Utd.

Imagine how many penalties he'll get for them!

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.

I hope this is true, don't get me wrong I'd love him to stay, but I think we all know he's off so lets just get it done as quickly as possible and get a replacement in.


Think this is the most valid statement, seems like forever he's been leaving the club, his 1 foot seems perpetually out the door, I'm sure this is just the start, convinced Downing will be next, but lets face it we only want players that are prepared to give all for the Villa cause.

"The king is dead", "long live the king...... Agbonlahor, at least he wants to play for Villa.

Sometimes a move can improve a player. On a bigger stage where he is not the main star like at United he will calm down and try to do less.

This can only a good thing for Young. I can really see the move being the making of him as it will improve his game and probably cement a spot in the England team. It's not like the Milner or Barry situations where they have moved to City which was a much smaller step forward and into a situation where they are merely a stop gap until a better player can come along. Man United are buying him for a reason and that is to place him in the new team they are building. We may have begrudged Barry and Milner their moves but we shouldn't do so here as he is making a big step up.

I'll miss the little sod as much as he could irritate me. He's given us four decent years and has done some delightful things. So I wish him well. Until the little c*** wins a penalty in front of the Holte for them.

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.

Be hard to replace him, but players come & go. I think we have got the better years out of him.
