Assuming academy products don't count he could definitely be up there. Obviously McGrath is number 1. But then it is up for grabs really. Also coast has to be relative to average market value. Watkins was better value than traore despite costing 50% more. If he is a 10+ G and 10+ A then he'd definitely be up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted June 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2021 I'm in favour of the Ashley Young signing. Replaces Elmo and Taylor in one go on a free transfer, experienced model pro, started most games for the Serie A champions last season, a good set piece taker and in a years time Kesler and Revan might be ready to step up. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abdulaziz1 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I think that Young signing would be a clever move. He still can be a backup winger too. On a free with a reasonable wages, I think we’d get a very good value. It’s not just because we once liked him (can’t say it’s not another reason of wanting him back). But for me, the main thing is the benefit of the club. If he’s part of a memorable season the that would erase the wound we had when he went (although him and Benteke weren’t as bad as Downing and Delph). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. When I saw the part 2 thread I was disoriented for a minute but it would actually be a sensible signing on the whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we can beat the record set when we signed Sanson. If he doesn’t get 1 goal and 2 assists in the first 45 minutes of his debut we should send him packing back to Norwich on a free transfer.

Philosopher Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Ashley Young is 35, no way we should sign him. A premier league team looking to get into Europe should never be looking at a 35 year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He provides cover in all manner of places and fills the dressing room with winning experience. Given the current squad, I’d be starting him on the wing (ahead of AEG) with Jack in the middle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
