It's going to cost a fortune having that name put on the back of your shirt.

Same cost as Kessler Hayden!

You could get one of each.😋 Home and away.

We'd have the most expensive* pair of fullbacks in the league of they were both playing



* In terms of getting their names printed on the back of a shirt

It’s a set price per name now I think.

You could abbreviate them to … KKH and Aug’son 👍

I'd feel ripped off if I had an Asian name like N'g but would be chuffed to bits if it was something like Van Hennegoor of Hesselink.

I did it to the Depeche Mode, ‘Just can’t get enough’  all ‘de, de’ with the ending ‘August-in-sson’

You have to pick one of the songs I don't like by my favourite ever band.

To be fair to Nigel it's probably a bit easier for Arsenal fans to pick a DM song you like with Gabriel Jesus.

[Clark W Griswold]

So, it looks like the plan is Young as RB cover next season with KKH planned for the season after all being well and this guy as cover for LB next season with Chrisene the season after all being well, but the option to buy there if we see that as the better option at that point.

CB wise, I can see one of Konsa or Hause going, Hause even possibly on loan.

[Risso]

We've still got Guilbert, and I hope he's given a chance by Gerrard.

[Mister E]

What is the point of re-signing Young? - I don't see many instances where he'd be the right guy to start a game or even come on as sub.
I'm guessing it's the 'senior squad' member' argument (even though he now has Carlos and August in as experienced international footballers as role models to the younger players).

'Behind the Phil' is stretching it a bit I suppose.

If David O'Leary had his way we could've had Policy of Huth.

He can play in several positions at a pinch, he sets a good example in training, he’s an experienced voice in the dressing room, Gerrard trusts him, and he doesn’t cost the earth.

[Clark W Griswold]

To answer both of you, i like Guilbert too as a back up player and on the face of it he might have been a better bet for next season than Young but i'd suspect, reading between the lines that Guilbert is a sulker who isn't going to happy sitting on the bench and that Young is ok with that and brings a much more positive vibe to the dressing room plus lots of experience. If that's the case then it's the right call for me.

Your keys words are 'at a pinch'.
Also, do we know how much he costs?


(I'm not too hung up about this, btw, but I do want to see players progress in the squad without an old 'blocker' in the way).

Strange, I see him as more of a facilitator.  Chuk has mentioned how he has been a mentor and Gerrard suggests he sets a high bar during training etc.  In my mind he is player/coach rather than a reserve.

I think he’s Gerrard’s representative in the dressing room. He’s there to set the right example, pass on his experience and  provide cover for 2 or 3 positions when called on. He’s had a long and successful career by maximising his abilities and always being a team player.
