Has anyone looked at the sort of players we are signing and how much they cost,
How on any planet do people think we are suddenly going to be buying Ashley Young

It's laughable

If we sign Ashley young I'll eat my sou'wester naked whilst standing on the trinity road on match day

We wouldn't give Albrighton and improved deal, so I can't see us stumping up big bucks for Young. I know Young is better, but we obviously have some sort of salary cap?

On Kieran Richardson, let me just ask this

We're playing stoke away first game and have luna, Bennett and Richardson to pick from. 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.

Who's playing left back this year then as we won't be signing another one imo.

Sorry for double post but I just watched the AVTV interview. Richardson says he is going to be playing left back. I was surprised.

I'd take Young back without question on ability.

My question would be what would his motivation be liked. Coming from a reasonably regular spot at United competiting for the title and CL to us likely in a relegation battle, it's fair to say he'll be downsizing a bit.

If he is available I can see clubs like Newcastle, West Ham and Everton being in for him tbh. Can't see him coming back here.

I don't think it's impossible that we could either attract him or afford him - particularly if it was a loan for a season with yanited picking up part of his salary.

He'll have fond memories of the club, was well settled in the area played his best football for us and should still -in theory- have plenty in the tank. In terms of positivity, a move like that would help to get the fans back on side too. When you look at clubs outside the top 4/5, I think Tottingham and Everton are pretty well covered in those areas, so it is the kind of deal we should be interested in.

But even if manure did cover part of the cost, we'd still have to stump up a fair wedge.  The Tonev deal apart, the manager has shown no real interest in wingers, so I don't see that now. 

West Ham or Newcastle would probably be more likely destinations.

After the scum bag took the dive to win them a penalty, I am surprised that any Villa Fan with a memory larger than a goldfish could stomach him wearing the shirt again.

I'm the same about Barry after his Sunday paper antics a few years ago. Obviously a moot point because he's signed for Everton now, but still.

[KevinGage]

He's dived against just about every club he's ever faced, so I wouldn't take it personally.

Plenty of the free kicks and penalties he won for us were dubious.

[Salsa Party Animal]

If Ashley young sort his attitude and hunger and fitness out and willing to take a pay cut he will be welcomed back to Villa Park but I think this is about likely Doug Ellis buying the club back from Randy Lerner.

Yep. It's one thing is doing what Young ever did, but quite another dragging my team's name through the mud in public.

What a challenge from the Concrete One

haha, fuck me. I'm an idiot!

haha, fuck me. I'm an idiot!

Is that the pick  up line you used to use back when you went clubbing? It's a good one, wish I'd thought of it back then.
