Ashley Young only has a a year left on his contract so would probably be available relatively cheap. He'd improve us massively.

I'd be very happy with that.

Oh how I miss him getting up of the pitch and rubbing his knees Vic & Bob style

Well, we've currently got 27 senior pros on the books (if my maths is correct) so we do still need to move players out to accommodate in-comings. That or face the prospect of simply keeping them on the pay-roll but not naming them in the squad.

The only upside to bringing Ashley Young back would be the sight of Wilkins in a state of purple apoplexy screaming 'stay on your feet' at him from the touchline.

I suspect that of the really big earners, there's only Gabby left.

I wish we could move Gabby on. Last night's friendly was a great demonstration of how utterly mediocre he is.

He also looked a bit overweight to me. Like we had Alexander O'Neal up front.

Was scrolling through in desperate hope no one had made that joke yet.

Having had a look at the BBC Gossip column just now, there are no links for us t all, I thought the press would be full of made up bull about who was replacing CB this morning.  A couple of interesting snippets in there though - Raphael Van Der Vaart has moved to Real Betis - he would have been a good addition, and the dream one - Zlatan appears open to a move.  Imagine that for a couple of years!!!

actually there are a few links, not just to Mr Rat but we're still keeping tabs on Ayew.

There's no chance of us getting Ashley Young as he was a key player for Yanited last year. May have even been player of the year.

Interesting that there have been a couple of comments about Gabby moving on. Always seemed like he would finish his career here. There's better value for the same wages out there though. The average age of the squad is coming down quickly.

I don't think there is any chance of Young coming back, not that I'd want him anyway

Why not bid for Berahino at say £15M? Also, Demari Gray from Blose for the future?

Probably because it would mean massively over-paying.

I'll give them a week to ''spend sum faking maney'' (tm Arsenal fans) then I'm gonna start screaming blue murder and panicking.
