Manchester United Alex Ferguson rate him highly, so that might be enough. But again David Moyes might think otherwise.

Wait a second, are you being serious ?

Might be worth seeing if we can get Phil Jones for chris Herd while we are there

Clacker was linked with ManUre a couple of years ago when he was coming through. Can't see it now though!

You never know. They've never replaced Wes Brown.

Nah, Ashley Young would be good for us. I would have him back. He never dissed us, we got good money in the last year of his contract, I have no beef with the guy.

Clark is still young for a centre half. At 26-28 he will become a really good centre half. He needs in my opinion a year in the championship to harden him off a bit.

Don't think he'd get in our front 3 at the minute to be honest. They link well together, suit each other. Ash Young would just spend his time falling over and running into blind alleys probably.

I would take Young back, no worries. But we probably shouldn't.
What's more, I don't see it being an option.

Yep, and if Zog's not sold, we already have him to do that job

I think Ash Young seriously needs a rocket up him. He's wasting his talent away. He's a shadow of the player he was 4-5 years ago. The Ash Young who won us the game at Everton 5 years back is a totally different player to the one now. I wonder if he might suffer Yorke syndrome. That when his career dies at United, which it could well be now, he'll never quite have the same sort of desire he did whilst he was developing into a top class player with us. After Yorkes first 2 successful seasons at Manure, his form dipped. From then on he was never the same player at all.

He needs a move and he needs to really get back on top of his game. Cut all the theatrics and diving and just get at fullbacks again and pelt in crosses.

We'll never re-sign him though. I think he'd do well at Liverpool or Spurs to be honest. He could take a step down one level to a Europa level club. Or depending on how ambitious Everton were they could cut a deal with Utd for when they inevitably come in for Baines and/or Fellaini.

Ash worked his balls off for us, set up a lot of goals and scored some really good ones. Why would we ever want a player that offers that?

Don't think he's the same player now. If he was I'd have him back in a heartbeat. That said, saying I want him back means little. We may just as well say we want Lionel Messi. It'll never happen while Randy's at the helm.
For me, I think Ash is one of those players who'd happily collect his 100k a week and if he had to move would hold out for similar. He's not worked as hard at Utd as he did for us either. Granted he doesn't have to because they actually keep the ball.
He's out of our price league now.
