Transfer Rumour Ashley Young

He won’t be cover though. He’ll be 1st choice if he signs.

Surely no club signs a 38yo with the intention they'll be the starter for 40 games a season?

I know we're pushing boundaries at the moment that have never been pushed before, but hopefully there are some limits, especially when there's a 24yo that we've paid a significant chunk of change for as an alternative, even if that 24yo is "relatively steady" rather than actually impressive

He may not be brought in with the intention of being the starting LB but, he will end up playing more games because IMO a 38 yr old Ashley young is still better than what we’ve got.
As you say we are pushing boundaries right now.

Yup the one and only consolation I have heading into the season is that the 3 promoted teams look pretty awful and are pretty dirt poor also. Burnley with Kompany are a potential outlier, but the transfers they're going for would fill me with next to zero confidence if I was a Burnley fan. If Kompany leaves, then I'd think they're screwed completely.

It could come down to who out of the four of us gets the best on-loan signings. Its that bad.
 
Everton Fans: "We need to do what Brighton do!"

Also Everton Fans: "We need to sign 38 year old Ashley Young rather than someone with a sell on value and low wages."

Absolute basket case club.

James Garner, patterson and Onana all signed last year. Brighton have just signed Milner of the same age.

I bet Brighton get relegated before we do, a couple of years ago it was Leicester we had to emulate and look at them.
