Nigel Posted July 12, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 12, 2023 Are the club honestly saying they couldn't make room for a player who knows how to see out a game, the very skill you need when the going gets twitchy next year? Not just that, the man was more than pulling his weight. He would have been on the short list for the player of the season in our best one in a decade too. I'd love to know the truth behind this one! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 We can give him a proper send off when we wallop Everton in our first home game as usual. Guess it also makes us kinda even in a way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a little sad to see him gone. We need numbers next season and he seems to still be fit, strong and professional. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 I can only assume the lack of renewal means we are signing a new right back also 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVTuco Posted July 12, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 12, 2023 9 hours ago, John said: Really nice twitter message from Ashley. A top player and he is one of those ex-players that will always have some found memories of those years that he spent at our club, as do we. Hopefully we will have the opportunity to show him our appreciation at our games against Everton this season. He seems still angry with current decision makers when he chose not to thank all managers and staff, but only those who believed and trusted in him, those who know who they are. Secondly thanks to the managers and staff that believed and trusted in me, you know who you are! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

est1874 Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Still don't really understand this one tbh. It was a no-brainer to keep him, knowing we need cover, and he did well. We now need 'better' cover, which will surely be expensive, and hard to convince a better player than Ashley Young to play second fiddle to Matty Cash.

AndyM3000 Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 If the wages websites are to be believed he's on a fair chunk of money and perhaps the club think they can spend this more wisely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think it's purely that. We'll probably buy a young RB to compete with Cash who will be on half what Ashley was on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
