Guilbert and Kesler much smarter cover, Konsa can play right back and Hause can play left back so plenty of cover. Youngs wages would be better spent elsewhere. I also dont forget his 'contact' with Cieran Clark to win a penalty for utd😡I do. I dont forget his crosses at the Sty for Gabby or his countless goals.Agreed, some very strange bitterness on here. I like Ash, and don't hold it against him that he did against us what he spent four-and-a-half years doing for us.Although he's not a supporter, I do think he has affection for the club. Even if he didn't, to still be playing and winning titles at nearly 36 is enough to convince me of his professionalism, and that he is more than good enough to have as back-up and around the squad.

I always found it curious how Milner appeared to be seen much favourably than Young, when I think the latter was more loyal to Villa. That’s not a criticism of Milner by the way, loved his time at the club, but I always felt that Young’s time wasn’t universally appreciated.

I think he fits in a lot better with our transfer policy than it appears at face value. - No transfer fee, so we won't lose money on him. 1 year contract makes it low risk. - Provides cover in several positions, and competition for first choice left back- His experience will help the development of our younger players- He strengthens our squad *and* stops Burnley - a potential rival - from signing himObviously you don't want a whole squad full of 35 year olds, but as an individual signing I think it's a masterstroke
