Quote from: Phil from the upper holte on July 12, 2014, 02:56:02 PMRumors of a return for Ashley Young? Not for meI'm struggling to see why anyone wouldn't want Young if he was seriously available. He was always one of our best players when we were good, he'd easily be one of our best players now we're rubbish a and would improve the team immensely.
Rumors of a return for Ashley Young? Not for me

Imagine the game is tomorrow. Who do you pick at left back?I pick Richardson I seriously doubt Richardson has been bought to play at left-back. Wing-back will be as defensive as it is - I'd expect to see him being used in midfield or as a winger.I can see it to be honest Peter, especially as both Bennett and Luna have been transfer listed. He's operated at left back quite a bit over the last few years hasn't he?Pretty much nowhere else for a few years, I didn't think?

Teams can't continuously just avoid relegation year after year without it eventually catching up with them. Our squad isn't good enough as it stands.Disagree - it's good enough to stay in this league, as has been proven these last 2 years. That doesn't mean it's a great squad or that we will play entertaining football or that I'm happy about it - but not good enough for this league is just baloney Staying up for the past 2 seasons doesn't prove that the squad is good enough to stay-up for the coming season at all. That's 'baloney'. As has been mentioned several times on this thread, Premiership Clubs are likely to be throwing more money around than ever before this summer, at exactly the time that we appear to reigning-in our spending.Respectfully throwing money around guarantees little. I disagree the standard in the Premier League is getting better year on year - certainly at the top it is but for the 13/14 clubs who make up the rest, I'd argue it has gotten steadily worse - thus the huge gap (almost two leagues these days). Villa won't go down because when I look at this league, I see at least 2 of the promoted clubs sinking as usual and squad for squad, we are not the 3rd worst by any stretch.I think we will do just fine albeit it will be another roller coaster with great and awful days
