2024/25 Ashley Young

[SJB]

He's more than earned it.

 

[Lanolin]

So dyche is still making the footballing decisions? Interesting development.

Live fast die young?

Not my way.

Live fast, sure, live too bloody fast sometimes, but die young?

Die old.

 

[Bally1989]

Absolutely pathetic

 

[Marius57]

Moyes has generally been using him as he should have been used for 2 years. 10/15mins, emergency starts which he is fine for.

Don’t mind it as I imagine his wages would drop further and i think we will bring in both a rb and a lb and he ends up being effectively 3rd choice cover for both,

 

[windymiller]

I do like ashley young hes been a “good” signing overall in terms of how much hes been needed/used

but we have to be in the market for a right back

When was the last season we had a functional right back? When, exactly, was it that Coleman's leg fell off?

Heard this at the weekend didn’t believe it at the time, worryingly was also said that we hadn’t offered Idrissa anything.

Also that the Duke has been in talks since the middle of last week.

I don’t think we had offered any of them anything at the weekend to be fair. The club seem to take a position that they were waiting (for whatever reason they decided to) and weren’t making exceptions for anyone.

The club can't be accused of not making enough of us leaving Goodison when they pull this out of the bag in the final week.

Let’s see, being right about Young - now has me concerned on Idrissa.

Also said Doucoure had started talking to the club middle of last week.

It's because we have an injury prone 36 year old and a completely 'kin useless 24 year old as competition.

We need this berth finally sorted this summer.

Surely thats the decision made on Patterson now mate.

It should have been made a lot earlier than that too.

He was never PL standard. You only had to look at him for a game or so. Completely at sea and never had the game smarts for this level.

I can't see any Championship club taking him. He'd be useless to them. Probably back to Scotland - Hearts or somewhere.

(sorry Jambos!)

 

[MercuryBlue88]

Im ok with this, hes a squad option that is always fit and available, there could be a massive influx of players this year and having a model pro like young around isn't a bad move. Particularly if Coleman is moving into the coaching staff

Needs to go out and games for himself, if we can’t get a return - maybe Coventry or Rangers - then let him go on loan - the age he’s at now he needs to play first the sake of his own career.
