theboyangel Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Fell to the floor on the edge of the box looking for a foul within a couple of minutes of coming on today and then was largely anonymous. He was a terrific player for us, annoyingly lured away to a much bigger team where he hasn't lived up to the expectation. Would I want him back? In the current climate of course as we have no one of his ability but I do wonder whether he is a spent force already and would be like another Ireland/Collymore.

Young and Albrighton on the wings whipping in crosses; it'll be like 2011 all over again. Where's Houllier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 (edited) I think it might be worth loaning him just to keep him out of the England team. No way is he going to the World Cup if he's playing for Villa... Edited December 15, 2013 by AVFCforever1991 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDuck Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 he has lost his pace and his confidence, When he was here he used to dribble past defenders for fun but since 2009 he hasnt done that. his delivery is pathetic as well.. for me he has no footballing brain either to change his game we arent great but young would not be a solution This. I can't see why anybody would want aside from nostalgia and some blind hope that he'd play like it's 2009. He's been poor for ManU, even worse for England and wasn't particularly impressive in his last couple of years here Indeed. His crossing in his last season or two for us was bloody woeful.

supernova26 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 (edited) We've been shiite since he left. Nearly got us Champions League 3 seasons in a row, a cup final and a cup semi-final literally on his own....nearly every goal/assist we got came from him...his stats were incredible. Hence why Man U paid £20 for him with only 1 year left on his contract I suppose. It's never really worked out for him there but I will always have fond memories of his time at VP.

I agree with you about 08/09 and 07/08. But in 09/10 he started to decline and it was Milner who was the driving force behind the champions league challenge and 6th place finish. Milner was incredible that year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momo Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Can't believe people are writing him off. He has been injured a lot. Now he has been back for a while and getting back up speed. Looked good against Stoke. Nice goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest av1 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 After 5 yrs of diving and performing like bum one half decent performance with put him in the headlines. Still a piece of shit that I don't want anywhere near b6. Fans are so funny sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonLax Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 If he hadn't dived against us most of you saying you don't want him would love to have him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 People forget that Young left on good terms and still appreciated by the fans. Then came THAT dive. Anyway he's twice the player of anyone else in our squad except for that Benteke bloke. (he's three times the player of him ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) If he hadn't dived against us most of you saying you don't want him would love to have him back. i wouldnt, i thought his last 2 seasons at villa were dreadful and hasnt done anything at United. Gareth Barry was the reason Young looked a great player, when Barry left he never recovered as he had no footballing brain Edited December 19, 2013 by Zatman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
