Transfer Rumour Ashley Young

[Cels]

Crying at people reeling off lists of players in their late 20s when we signed them to justify signing a 38 year old.

Richard Gough was in his late thirties when we signed him. No doubt that's been mentioned already, I just can't be arsed looking to find out

 

[Eagle Eye]

Jagielka playing him clean through was arguably a worse moment than the winner.

Wait a minute, Jags is a free agent...

If we can sign him and somehow prise Thiago Silva away from Chelsea, we have had a cracking summer..

 

[Mikey O]

Young will be starting

Weirdly I find that more disappointing but if we're paying him a reported £40-50k a week then I guess he has to start.

I wonder if Baines (38) will be coaching Young (39)?

 

[Huyton Layne]

Personally I wouldn't sign either of these players, based on their stats. We'll probably end up with both

 

[ChesterBlue]

The worst.

 

[Wat Tyler]

What happened at Villa, was he not offered a new deal?

No because he’s 38 mate.

The Luton scarf? Sound

Oh, Harvey

Not sure what to make of this really. But I guess any man that has achieved my ultimate fantasy, of having a bird crap in my mouth in front of the nation on live tv, is ok by me. Welcome Ash.

I remember him playing for Watford and we got a penalty from a handball from him

I’ll mention it as no one else seems to remember….

He and Dyche were teammates at Watford.

So, jobs for the boys then, badges done here no doubt.

 

[wainy]

It’s an extra body in the squad. That’s all I’ve got.

 

[DuncanPatterson]

I see that Italian fellow on Twitter has here we go’d this.

???

 

[Wat Tyler]

No because he’s 38 mate.

He is but played nearly 30 games for a team a million times better than us

He is but played nearly 30 games for a team a million times better than us

But he’s still 38 so it wouldn’t make any sense from their point of view to keep him on.
