Transfer Rumour Ashley Young

[matty1878]

Ludacris decision, especially since we just got all the old players on fat wages out the club

we
are a circus act

Isn't Baines the same age...just ask him to step in!

Baines hasn’t played for 4 years , young played 32 games for villa last season

Stop sitting on the fence...

I shouldn't overreact

And I get that some will say "give him a chance" etc

However, all I will say is this;

When we sign used up aging journeymen players, it's very rare that they end up being worth the money

Delph, Williams, Rondon, Mark Hughes, David Ginola, Townsend, Walcott, McGeady, Cleverley, Hitzlsperger

I could go on

Basically, anyone who is worried or thinks this is a super underwhelming signing that isn't going to work is not being unreasonable based on past experience

By and large, when most of us think a signing like this is going to be disappointing, it's invariably the case

at about 108 years old he played twenty times for Villa last season and got ahead of Digne. (Don't know the full circumstances)

How old was Richard Gough when we signed him, also thinking of Andy Gray, Peter Beardsley, Lee Carsley, Peter Reid, Kevin Campbell and Idrissa Gueye.

Happy Ashley Young day. Any car trackers whether he is on route already to FF ?

Marcus Bent, Killer Kilbane and Lee Carsley did alright and as for the aged guys Richard Gough and Nigel Martyn did well enough.

And I get that some will say "give him a chance" etc

I think we have to, otherwise what’s the point?

 

[Neiler]

lol Carsley was 28 when we signed him

The original poster lists Tom Cleveley, he was 25 when we signed him, I presume he was leaning into the journey man part of his description.
