I don't think he offers anything at all in an attacking sense, and as handy as he is in a utility full back sort of way, when Bailey and Sanson are fit, I can see Young not being in the squad any more. With the four central defenders we have, all of them look comfortable at full back as well, so there'll not be much use for Young really.
He's a useful squad player. You need a decent squad to compete. We need to get away from the obsession with trying to get rid of players the second they aren't guaranteed a start. We've seen it before with Hause and El Ghazi, for example, and they've both shown how vital they can be to the cause already this season. I'd imagine Young is a good influence on the likes of the Chucky and Ramsey brothers, JPB, Archer and so on, too.
People need to factor in the period up to and around Christams .These fixtures even allowing for TV day changes we have a period of games that high chance Ashley Young will be playing minutes and sometimes starting as will others as we make use of the rest of the squad over the many games Sat 27 NovTue 30 Nov Sat 4 DecSat 11 DecTue 14 Dec Sat 18 Dec Sun 26 Dec Tue 28 Dec Sat 1 Jan Sat 8th Jan FA Cup 3rd round.
