Maybe Luke's still hiding somewhere. I don't actually remember him leaving. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you hold a grudge after an actual bird not only shat in his mush, but it did so live on television. He dove, dove shat, end of. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The story of football is not the wins or the losses, but the people you meet along the way. That bird restored some faith in the game for me, and I welcome Ashley back with open arms. 8 minutes ago, Spoony said: Maybe we can have a announcement video where he shakes hands with a seagull with a mouth full of shit and the hashtags #WelcomeHomeAshley #AllIsForgiven #TreacheryBecomesNullWithTheShitOfTheGull I hate to be the one to break this to you guys, but this actually never happened.

Such a waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Apparently £3m a year. Worked that out on my calculator to be about 57k p/w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't require lots of explosive bursts either. I had one of those last week after a Thai Green Curry. Not pleasant. I mean REALLY not pleasant.

StanBalaban Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Those who enjoy incorporating the word "gash" into our player's names in the Pre-Match Thread must be licking their lips. He'll lineup alongside such luminaries as: El Gashy Trezegash Matty Gash Matt Targash John McGash and of course.... Wesley Gash.

Philosopher Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 All this nostalgia bs makes me wanna puke. I feel like a bird has shat in my mouth! I fail to see how nostalgia or he was a great player for us, makes him a good signing. I always liked him and still do. But I don’t believe he'll be a good signing. These types of move always end in tears. Reminds me of the Lescott signing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddywhack Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 I absolutely loved him when he was here, but making a return 10 years later aged 36? But I’m a hypocrite, because I’ll love seeing him in a Villa shirt again. In Dean I trust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enda Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 One year deal on 60k a week is great business. Targett's place will be far from certain (good competition will improve him), and Young could do a job on either wing as well. Great business, even if he is a bit of a planker.

Lescott was signed from a poor West Brom team managed by Tony Pulis. Young has just played regularly for a Serie A winning team who were keen to offer him a new contract. Can understand people's reservations on this one, but it's a lazy comparison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbcuk Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Played well last season for inter at left back, now with Taylor gone a decent signing for a season, as can operate on the wing of either full back position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly doubt that Young on a short-term deal is integral to the future development of this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
