Dr_Pangloss Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Can't believe people are questioning Ashley young . Amazballs . He is about three levels above where we are right now is not some retiree looking for a last payday or failed journeyman and he has only just turned 29 . There is no way he would come here but if he did it would be the best signing we have made in years Well it's because there's a couple of bitter and twisted sorts on here who believe he is 'shit' because of a couple of dives he made against us. The fact is that he's several levels above Agbonlahor and Weimann and any other of our attacking options from midfield/on the flanks. How about the opinion that the wages he would cost, would be better spent on someone else? Someone who hasn't had lots of injuries, dives a lot, goes missing in games and spent his last year at Villa overhitting crosses and shots. Would that be a valid opinion, or am I bitter and twisted too? I love how some become AVFC accountants when it suits them. He's a quality player with end product, he'd improve us massively, I wouldn't worry too much about how 'better' the money could be spent if we had a realistic chance of signing a player of Ashley Young's quality.

decavfc Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I don't believe it would happen, but I think the signing of a player of the calibre of Ashley young would send a message stating there is still ambition at the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Pangloss, that's a ridiculous thing to say. "I wouldn't worry too much about how better the money could be spent if we had a realistic chance of signing a player of Ashley Young's quality"... Like he's some sort of Lionel Messi? On his day, he was good, but his day came extremely rarely for us, towards the end. His day has come about just as rarely in a Man Utd shirt tbh, so, even though he's a massive improvement on what we have. I'd much prefer a player of his quality, but in central midfield, which is where we really need quality. If I had to chose between giving his wages to him or someone like Gary Medel, a player on the up, who is a lot more consistent, I'd go for Medel every time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Young was overrated here but for 18 great months. I was happy to get the money we did for him, which was far too much, and id not like him back unless he was going to take £25k a week. Even then I'd not really care all that much Overated my arse. I think some fans got carried away with the "underachievement of not finishing 4th" The guy was an absolute gem, even on an off day he would create numerous chances for himself and others. Jeez.

useless Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 (edited) I think he'd be a great signing and although described as an holding midfielder I think he'd give us a lot of attacking impetus. As I said someone on TBAR had said he'd been at Bodymoor Heath and that same poster mentioned Lerner being there other day before it became public knowledge, so lets hope so.

In fact if you were to read that forum you'd see posts saying such and such person on VT has said this and that and guess what? Most of the time it turns out to be rubbish too.

JoeParker91 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Would be delighted if we signed Ki, I'd certainly feel much more confident about our chances next season. The article mentions he could be our first cash signing, how much do people think he would cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midian Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Ki would be a cracking player for us must be worth £3mil+ I'd say,all this transfer rumours tie in to what I was told few months back that we would buy/get freebies before we announce we are sold etc so prices arent inflated or want big money wages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunnski Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Swansea signed him for 6m, he is in the last year of his contract now also so might get him for between 4-6m I reckon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decavfc Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 From what I seen of him at Sunderland last season he looked good. Not getting hopes up too much, but he would be a step in the right direction! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
