Transfer Rumour Ashley Young

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

But almost any if the details wont change the basis mate. Hes not going to improve here and hes bot going to be worth more money. It is dead money again.

He is going to improve us though. I say that with a lot of frustration, because we are so bad as a club that unfortunately he does improve us.

Myko gets injured like the end of last season, we have a disaster filling in for him whether its Godfrey or Holgate. I don't want to see Garner back there, he's a center midfielder we should be building around. I too want none of them here, I think you're mistaking what I want versus what is actual attainable, and I think the penny might be dropping for how much of a band-aid job this season is going to be so that we can limp into the new stadium, whatever help that is going to bring us on the field.

If only we had a young left side defended in our youth rank, that a top club would want to pay a fee for?

Like I said, this is more about the state of our club and how it's run. I agree with you 100%, but he did get sold, and we have to be unhappy at who sold him.

Not been here since this morning and now 30 odd pages on Ashley Young, thought he must have been confirmed!

I'm not sure he improves us in any meaningful way. We now have 2 left backs who are not really PL quality. We have double the problem.

But it's all connected isnt it?

We dont have pathways, because we buy over the hill players, on big wages and play them out of position over younger players. And wonder why they want to leave.

Again, we are going to struggle to sign a left back that is PL quality, at least we have a crap backup to a crap starter, but not as abysmal as Godfrey.

For me, it like when we signed Begovic or Vinagre last season.

The hope is they are available but used all that often and allows us to spend money in attacking areas.
If this is just one of a few signings... no problem.

If this is our summer business we are in trouble again next season.

it’s how far we’ve fallen

And still falling

And another bum topping up his pension, prior to retirement.

We just have another bad backup, on big wages.

Like can we not find somebody in Europe, who can come in, for the wages Young has, who is left footed and an actual left back?

You won't find me disagreeing with that, I'll repeat that this season is a patch up job to get us to BMD, which for some reason is being seen as the holy grail to our success.

Perhaps the plan is to sell Holgate and/or Godfrey. Perhaps there is no plan. Perhaps having someone on the bench as a utility is better than having 3 goalkeepers on it.

 

[Nymzee]

Villa didn’t keep him. Because they’re smart and moving forwards as a club. We’re retaining 50-year old Coleman and signing Young. We’re moving backwards.

But we run every season as a patch up job. That's the status quo. We have no vision.
