According to Gabbys FB, Ash is meeting him in Vegas tomorrow. Also he is definitely off by the sounds of it.

He's young, rich and black... what's he doing marrying that whale?

She appears to have seen better days.  And smaller lingerie.

Whether you rate him or not, it's hard to imagine how he could improve his workrate! I'd imagine it's one of the qualities that makes him so appealing to them!

His workrate has never been in question, his petulance has!

Yes, workrate good, consistant end product questionable.

This move has been on the cards for months, he's a very good player but certainly not irreplaceable. I don't think he's hit the form of 2 years ago or maybe teams have caught on how to play him?

I seriously don't think he'll cut it at OT at the highest level. His best England performances was against Wales.

I would be keeping an eye on Nathan Dyer from Swansea as a possible replacement. Blinding pace, looks to take people on and in a very similar situation to AY when he got promoted with Watford.

You have to wonder if some of the people on here actually watch the same players!

I think, Sir Paul, you may have yourself mixed up with Ashley. Paul Merson was such a lazy git, great player mind, but so lazy. Ashley Young goes to Man Utd because he has the workrate to go with the talent.

Reminds me of a young Tony Daley. Could be one for the future.

You mean pace to burn but can't cross?  :D
