Villan4Life Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2523806/THE-FOOTBALL-GRAPEVINE-Young-lined-Villa-return-Barkley-commit-future-Everton.html Ashley Young could move back to Aston Villa in January. Young returned to Manchester United’s starting line-up for the first time in six weeks in Tuesday’s win over Shakhtar Donetsk. He may feature against Villa on Sunday but as David Moyes’ plans to regenerate parts of his squad in January, Young is one of the players who is set to leave and his former club would be interested in taking him back. Newcastle and Everton will also monitor the situation. Young left Villa for United in 2011 for around £18million. He got off to a good start and became an England regular. Indeed he played in all four matches at Euro 2012. But a combination of a loss of form, fitness and constant controversy over allegations of diving has seen Young drift completely out of the international picture. There is a still a remote chance the 28-year-old, who has won 30 caps and scored seven goals, could force his way back into contention for a place in the World Cup squad, not least given his versatility as a winger or second striker. But that could only happen if he was to start playing on a regular basis and that doesn’t look likely to happen at United. At a fee in the region of £8m, Young would represent a good buy and Villa are likely to lead the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Don't see it. Won't be able to match wages either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 He won't get into the England team playing for Villa. So maybe we should get him on loan, for the good of the England team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.I.C.O. Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 (edited) He will not come back, and I don't want him back following that dive against us last season. The man is a disgrace. And not as good as he was when he was here. Edited December 15, 2013 by R.I.C.O. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazzap24 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Idle speculation. I wouldn't think we would have the £8m to start with. Then there's the wages we couldn't afford to pay him. I'm not sure I'd want him back anyway. Good player and better than what we have, but I don't think he's the player he was a couple of years ago.

Chindie Posted December 15, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted December 15, 2013 May as well say we're bringing in Messi in January. That's about as likely to happen as this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not as good as he was when he was here. I agree. Big no from me. Money would be better used elsewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papillon Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Would he walk into our team? Yes, pretty much in every position except GK! Would he want to come here? Of course not, going back would be an admittance of failure and that's hard to take for footballers. Will probably leave for another club in the Premier League. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoony Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 He will not come back, and I don't want him back following that dive against us last season. The man is a disgrace. And not as good as he was when he was here. I would have agreed with you wholeheartedly a few months back. But right now I'd take him in a heartbeat. He is definitely worse than he was but he is still at least twice as good as Weimann and Albrighton. I'd pay £5m tops for him but if we could bring him in then do it. I'd have taken Downing and Barry back when we had the chance as well.And yes he is a cheating, hateful little shit who screwed us over. But if that's who we need to improve then fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say there are better prospects out there if we can spend £5m, in my opinion. Especially if we can pay the wages of Ashley Young, which I am pretty sure we can't.

Nabby Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I'd take him on loan ..wants to go to the world cup so playing regularly he would do ok for us ,at the least he could replace Westwood as the corner take !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Two things that make this impossible... 1) A fee over £3-4m (HH suggested this amount) 2) Wages over 50,000 p/w So no chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Arguably not the player that played so well under O'Neill but he is still way ahead of anything we have now. I'd take him back in a heartbeat but it ain't going to happen. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers13 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 If Villa had the type of money necessary to bring back young, the squad would be better and it wouldn't be necessary to bring him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Biro Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Hope he goes and rots at newcastle or swansea or something and people can stop linking us with this absolute **** cretin. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 If this had any weight in it, it would be because manchester united want a refund on a faulty item...did they take out some kind of extended warranty? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay.P.A Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Would sign him back in a heartbeat. When he's the focal point of the team, he can be class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
