Young completes Man Utd move

[Mr Diggles]

5 year deal. £130k a week is reported.

That sounds high, even for A Young. Modern football wages, eh?

[Toronto Villa]

Haven't seen any confirmation of what the actual fee is.

I think it will be something like 16-17 up front rising to around 20. Or using the Bent rule, only applies to Darren Bent when discussing transfer fees, then it's 20.

[Iago]

He is going to have to learn another trick quickly - oh and get used to being one of the squad not the guy who take the kick off the corners the free kicks the throw ins and plays where he wants to ...

Damn right brother! I would love to see him throw a strop and pick up the ball and do all his petulant actions at United. As I said previously, good bye and good riddance.

Unbelievable. One of the best players I've seen down the Villa and such an important player to us. The team will miss him badly this coming season.

I wish him well, always tried hard, always looked a threat provided loads of goals and scored quite a few as well. We'll miss his pace and vision, not to mention the free-kicks he won.

That's right because he never did anything for Villa that's worth talking about did he?  What a load of shit.

[CBAV06]

I wish him the best of luck...except when he plays us!

Ashley Young believed his own hype.

Always tried, terrible from set pieces, a good player but not in the same class as  Sid, God, laursen; merson

Good entertaining player, but best position on the wing. I didn't agree with it when he seemed to start picking where he thought he should play. Not as effective as a front player.

Anyone know what the sell on percentage is to Watford as sky are reporting they are celebrating a nice chunk of the transfer fee ?

I wish him well, he always gave 100% although I don't think his loss will affect us as much as milners departure- James was the engine of the team and badly missed, we have albrighton and downing as wide options to replace ash and gabby in the middle plus any new signing,Milner though was never really replaced and left a huge void in the side.

[Meanwood Villa]

I'm a little alarmed at how many people are "pleased" to see him go to play for that bunch of c***.

I'll clarify my thoughts, for what it's worth. I'm not pleased to see him go as in 'great, he's off - good riddance' like some; but I'm happier he's genuinely leaving us to take a step up - to the current champions and the best club in the country over the last 15 years - rather than giving it a load of flannel about wanting a bigger challenge and then sloping off to Spurs, or City. Or f**** Liverpool.

Or even worse Middlesbrough! Fair comment, I just loathe and detest that club (Man U not M'boro) so much that I can't wish anything but ill will even though, like you, I'm a fan of his and sorry to see him go.

[Small Rodent]

sky sports news said 15 million if this is true what the hell is learner doing, sunderland sold their star player for 20m and he only just got into the England set up ffs, ashley is on top form for England , another villa screw up

You're a real glass half-empty mate, that kind of money for a player in the final year of his contract is fantastic

I like that...Paul Merson....glass half-empty...

[Merv]

He worked his bollocks off for the club every single game. We put him on a pedestal because of what he'd done and what we knew he was capable of which ultimately frustrated us at times. But he was always dedicated and has never, ever had a bad word to say about the club or the fans.

Well said.

PS Meanwood Villa - M'Boro! Don't get me started on Southgate! Yep, I dislike 'Man Yoo' too - should be horrified Young's ended up there. But I'm not, weirdly.

An interesting blog from the guardian

They have already applied some pressure on Young to deliver at Manure.

Whatever the percentage 0.005% to 10% it will be seen as Lerner being crap to some on here.

The Watford observer are saying it is between £800k - £1.5m
