Nah, just calling it like I see it. You often come across as condescending when you disagree with people, yet the reasons you give arent ones you'll stand by. Either way,ets leave it there and agree to disagree. Welcome back Ash - would love to see a dive against Man U. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has played well 30 games in the each of the last 4 seasons for Man U and Inter. Obviously still fit and raring to go. I don't think he is here just to warm the bench. I think he will play quite a big part in several positions this season. I think he could be involved in 25-30 games for us starting or off the bench. Giggs played into his forties and adapted his game from a blistering winger to a central midfielder. Ok Young has never been at that level but he has shown intelligence and adaptability throughout his career. His experience could well be important for us next season. I am warming to this signing. He is 36 years old buddy. Get a reality check, he is getting Elmos role. Serie A is a much less demanding league. A lot less intensive and it's slower paced. Cash and Targett will start every week when fit. Grealish and Buendia will start every week on opposite wings when fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panto_Villan Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 (edited) I'm sure what'll actually happen is he'll get a chance to show what he can do in cup games and coming on as a sub, and if he does particularly well he might displace Cash or Targett. He won't start the season ahead of them but he'll have the chance to get ahead of them if his performances justify it. He'll get the role his performances warrant.

Welcome back Ash - would love to see a dive against Man U. Now we are getting more to the point,of your hidden agenda. Condescending has never been my intention, but maybe its more like ,your interpretation.....is there a mirror handy, have a good look in it. when, I disagree with folk, I give a reason that can be challenged, hardly condescending....I just find it easy to disagree with you, but now I know why.

bannedfromHandV Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Playing full back / wing back for Man Utd and Inter Milan is a very different proposition to doing so for Villa, IMO. I think some folks’ expectations of this signing are a little out of kilter with reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many games has he played in where he’s been under pressure and penned in for periods of the match? Not too often I’d think whereas here it’ll happen far more frequently. The pace of the PL is also miles ahead of Serie A, obviously he knows that far better than you or I do but at 36 I just don’t see him having a big impact, he’s been signed to provide cover and in the case of the wing positions, emergency cover, in my opinion.

Popular Post The Fun Factory Posted June 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 23, 2021 (edited) All I am saying is write this man off at your peril. After a couple of years at United he was seemingly written off, and yet stayed 9 seasons under 5 different managers playing in about 3 different positions. He didn't play for England for four years and then gets recalled in time for the best run for nearly 30 years.He then leaves United for a 18 month continental detour to pick up the Scudetto in his dotage under the demanding management of Conte. I don't expect him to be a automatic starter but I think he will push for first team which is a surely a good thing and only adds to the competition for places.

Either way, its a great signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
