Out of interest, where does Young live?  Is he based in Cheshire and is he married with kids?  If so, Burnley might not be such a bad option for him.

The links to other clubs were Burnley and Watford. Watford got Rose so I reckon they are out. If it’s between us and Burnley he’s not choosing them
Dyche was his captain at Watford apparently. At his age length of contract can also be a factor. Doubt we’ll offer more than a year.

We have bid £25m for Smith-Rowe according to the Athletic.

Would cry with laughter if we signed him. No idea how good he may turn out to be, but the Arsers rate him and it would break them into pieces.

Offering a year with an option of another. Seems fair.

Or if he's promised game time at Burnley.  As good a player as he has been, I don't see us dropping Cash or Targett for him.

He looks like a very good prospect to me.  I can't see why they would let him go.

He’s a cracking young player. No doubt Arsenal fans will say that because he wears his shin pads like Jack that Jack will be joining them as part of the deal. Along with Maradona, Van Basten and Pele

It would certainly be very, very funny. I doubt we'll do it, though.

Rumours are (mirror) he was set to join Burnley then heard about the Villa interest and told them thanks but no thanks.

He’s on his way back…

The Smith-Rowe one is interesting. Can’t see it coming off but it’s certainly a strong indication of ambition.

Or an agent going about their business, I expect he would like a new contract on preferential terms

Arsenal mate just text me.

ESR bid means we are "100% selling Jack Grealish".

Interesting one. Would be good to get him. Not sure we want to be seen as putting in a bid and being rebuffed too many times this summer though.

I suspect it's just paper talk but I think it could make a valuable contribution on and off the field. Some short-term deals may be necessary if we feel that some of the kids will come through but need more time. Chrisene may be one of those for left back. As others have said a bit of experience may be good too.
Yeah, as Dave Woodhall said - he's been gone so long, and plays in a different position to when he left the club ... it is a return, but the player we're getting back is a very different one to the one that left the club.

I think that bringing in someone like Ashley Young as competition for the left back spot would be a canny move.  It takes the pressure off moving Chrisenne in to the first team - so he can go out on loan and get some more experience - but leaves a very clear path for him to the first team since Young's got a definite shelf life on him.

I thought similar when we signed Heaton .. generally not a fan of signing older players, but if it's as a stop gap until one of our existing players gets up to speed then I don't see a problem doing it.
