Young completes Man Utd move

[The Situation]

No sense of loyalty?  Didn't he just spend 4.5yrs with us, gave us near enough 100% every game and for what?  2 trips to wembley and 0 Trophies!  At least he has gone to Man Utd who are the best club in england and he has more chance of being successful there than at Villa.  Plus he didn't hold us to ransom for a new contract.  We made him an offer and he said no as he wanted to apply his trade in the Champions league.  Fair play to him.  Shows he has ambition

Once again  some fans have a myopic vision when  it comes to Mr Young.
4 years is NOT loyalty. Gave 100% when it suited him and most of the time acted like a spoilt brat on the pitch. 2 trips to Wembley and FAILED to perform for us. Can any one remember anything worthwhile from him in the two matches?  He held us to a negative ransom on contract as he could have signed a 4 year deal and still gone  and earned  us another £5/10M. We made him an offer and he   refused  leading the Club into an impossible position  where we have no choice but to sell him. Ambition? bollocks more like greed greed and greed.
Some people need to  take their  rose tinted glasses off when it comes to this man.

It seems you just have some irrational personal problem with him.

He's done well for us, tried hard every game, been our best player since he joined and at this stage of his career moving to United seems right if he wants to compete for Champions League's and Premier League titles. He hasn't ever moaned or complained, it's his personal career, why should he tie himself down to a club where we aren't challenging for the highest honours? How can you blame him for wanting him to leave to play for Man United? It's a dream for every young and talented player to be playing for them because they know they can achieve lots of success there.

Please grow up and stop talking such silly nonsense.

The irony of you, Mr "I've got a Glock under my bed and I only do 8 out of tens" telling anyone to grow up is staggering.

Some people need to get realistic. In most jobs throughout the country if an offer comes in from a bigger and better employer with more money you take it. End of. Loyalty extends so far but in an industry where you get a 3 or 4 year contract what binds you to that club? F*ck all is the answer. He doesn't support Villa, it was his job for a while and now it isn't. So what? He did well for us, I think he'll do well for United (largely because instead of sticking two players on Ash the opposition have other players to consider and can't do that) and I wish him well.

And for those of you who think we gave him his big chance and he 'owes' us for that. If we hadn't, someone else would have. We did and have made a good few million quid out of it.

Please stop nit-picking at my posts.

You didn't have a problem with all my post but you just had to pick out a little bit just for the sake of it.

If you've got a personal problem with me, drop me a PM, please don't try and disrupt this thread. Thanks.

I don't have a personal problem with you, I'm just pointing out the sheer irony of the above.

Whilst Mr 8/10 has said some funny things at times and I agree telling people to grow up isn't helpful, the points he makes in this thread seem pretty accurate. I think digging things from past posts up to diminish his argument in this isn't necessarily ideal.

You obviously do, don't hide it brah.

Grow up? Says the man who's probably in his late-forties having nearly 25,000 posts on a internet forum.

Is that an updated version of a fuzzbox?

I don't wish Ash luck at all. I doubt he gave me or any other Villa fan a second's thought before deciding to chase the money up the M6. Why would I want it to go well for him? I hope it goes really badly, like it pretty much did for Milner & Barry, and then the next one queueing at the exit door (probably Downing) might actually pause for thought, that getting paid shedloads more money might not be worth turning into a bench-warmer and losing your England place.

We are told that footballers have big egos. Really? Why then do they not choose to stay at a club where they're first choice? Where teams are built around them? Where they can carve a name for themselves, drag the team up with them and be worshipped from the stands?

Why? Cos they're not motivated by all that. They're motivated by money.

Big egos? To my way of thinking, their egos are not big enough.

I also can say that, were I a pistol packing, gym bashing, alpha male, there's no way I'd be on an internet forum at just gone midnight on a Saturday night.

Mazrimsbruv - it's a job. I don't think they do give a shit about the fans anymore no. As for whether he loses his England place and whether it's worth trading clubs and getting paid more to sit on the bench, his choice, his career. I undesrtand why you don't wish him luck. I do (not against us mind). He feels he is furthering his career (and I would argue he definitely is) and that is a choice that every employee in the country may have to make at some stage. If that makes him disloyal so be it, he would argue he has provided Villa fans with some great moments while he has been here.

Tbh, I genuinely didn't see your post before I made another response. I know, I probably shouldn't, making him realise that it's even bigger irony that he thinks it ironic for me to tell someone to grow up despite being in his late forties and having nearly 25,000 posts on a internet forum. I probably shouldn't of gone on, but did.

Thanks for siding with me, you're right using previous posts by trying to diminish someone's argument is just poor. I'd rather Paulie actually responded to my post rather than nit-picking at my last line trying to take it off-topic. If I didn't post that he would of stayed well away and wouldn't of even noticed I posted. I guess when you're in your late-forties, bored and it's past mid-night, you trawl around forums looking to start an argument :S

I will ignore his futile attempts next time.

Night Night.
