Demitri_C Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 I gotta say i did question it, but unai was right to release young. He is past his best now. Age finally catching up with him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Probably could still do a job here tbf but it's like Carragher said to JT when he was considering going to Bournemouth over Villa...you're going to be exposed, in a poor side and you're going to look absolutely stupid.

I think it was right time for him to go. I would have liked to have kept him around as a coach tbh in some capacity with the kids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf, I still wish we’d signed a replacement. RB is the position that leaves me most nervous. Actually no, GK, but still RB is a worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cash is a decent player but often looks weaker than he is due to the quality of the rest of the backline. Think maybe Young might be showed up a bit nowadays.

I was so wrong! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 We all lose a yard of pace but it's incredible he's lost all ability to cross a ball or weight a pass or take a free kick Like seriously, Where's that gone? Ow do you lose that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ow do you lose that? At Premier League pace if your legs are gone you're going to struggle to even hit the ball how you're used to if you've not got anything in the tank. Most of us would be barely standing at that age and at that pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 It’s crazy how he’s 38 years old and barely has a single wrinkle on his face. He could pass for 25. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
