Confirmed Signing Ashley Young

[Gwladysstreetlad]

I was against this idea originally but a one year deal sounds like an excellent compromise. Hopefully the lad will prove me and the other doubters totally wrong.

Will be fascinating to see how this one pans out.

Genius, lunacy or somewhere in between only time will tell.

Defo grasses on the youth players to the gaffer does young. Just smells of a grass

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If it was Ibrahimovic we’d be over the moon

Young is in excellent shape and obviously looks after himself so all round a good start to our transfer season (might shut now of course)

Welcome to the madhouse Ashley.
In our current situation , I think that he will actually improve the club , both on the pitch , but also , in the dressing room and at Finch Farm.

 

[kenada_blue]

Welcome.

But I still get PTSD with the winner he scored in the last minute against us when he was at Villa.

I know it's natural to wary of players in an advanced age for a professional footballer, but unlike delph he hasn't had extensive history of recent injuries and seems to have been an asset to his last team, I know it's not an electrifying signing and it's dependent on other players brought in but for squad coverage and starting the occasional game he'll be a solid addition in my opinion

Lots of positive comments from fans which I agree with. Proper footballer. Great attitude. He will make us better.

Old Ashley Young hey? Could work out well on a one year deal, he still looked tidy at Vila last season.

Couldn't agree more. Still appears athletic enough to do a job for us, it's not like we've signed Diego Costa or anything like that who looked like he struggled going upstairs never mind run around a footy pitch

Also I'm actually flabbergasted we signed him to a one year contract seems way too shrewd for us

 

[Ufotone]

I moaned at the prospect...

Many on here think he's a good signing, 12 months is sensible.

Apparently did well for AVFC last season, lets hope he can prove his worth.

So, welcome Ashley Young
