[Albion] Ashley Young - worth considering?

[Cowfold Seagull]

It's not a bad shout as cover for March but it flies in the face of succession planning and the structure we have now so for that reason I suspect it'll be a no...

35 now, made his name at Watford, let him go back there to see out his career.

 

[CheeseRolls]

I see his 18-month contract with Inter is up this summer. They are currently 11 points clear atop of Serie A with 8 matches to go and he has played 55 times for them since joining in Jan 20, including 40 times in Serie A.

I know there is now talk of him going back to his hometown club Watford, but he is a winner, this signing ticks every box for us and buys us time for Karbownik to develop into a Premier League player.

Probably won't happen, but I have seen plenty of far worse suggestions on here.

36 in July, he should really just take the pension and look for something else to do. Not one for us.

I know people can't stand Ashley Young but I always enjoyed watching him play in his prime years at United. Seemed like a real battler.

The idea of him fitting into our squad, at his age, is a hard one to get my head around though.

 

[Springal]

Same as Lingard, not good enough for us I'm afraid

 

[rippleman]

I can't think of anything he's done that makes him a dickhead, but maybe I'm forgetting something.

That might do for starters.

Given the fact that Andone was banished from the club for something not too dissimilar, and plenty on here were / are of the opinion that we should get rid of him, why would you want him?

Then the elbow to the face

Then the diving

That enough?

 

[macbeth]

Difficult to imagine that a couple of seasons playing in Italy is likely to have changed that aspect of his game much

Point taken, but he plays a much more defensive role now since his pace has gone. Also I think he's matured quite a lot now, having been given more of a leadership role now at inter

What do you get when you cross Ashley Neal with Jimmy Young?

A reaction

 

[A1X]

Man, with Welbeck, Lallana and Young we'd put in one hell of a challenge for the 2009/2010 league title.

 

[SAC]

Wages more than the reported £90k a week for Adam Lallana and close to getting his pension. Can't see it happening.

 

[NooBHA]

He is on MegaBucks. Got really good proactive agent. I think he will end up on a Big One Year Deal at a club competing in CL somewhere around Europe

West Ham.

 

[jcdenton08]

Not for me, Jeff. I really don't like diving cheats whether they are "ours" or not.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

When we needed some one like him, we couldn't have afforded him. We can now afford him, but just don't need some one as old as him.

 

[dstanman]

Would see him going to Villa or Leeds

35 now, made his name at Watford, let him go back there to see out his career.

I read somewhere he wanted to finish his career at Watford, would probably take a massive drop in wages to achieve that.

 

[BluesRockDJ]

The same ex-Man Utd Ashley Young ? Not April 1st is it ?

 

[Hugo Rune]

Ashley Old? No way Jose!

The Athletic had a number of good Solly back-up players (Karbo will be played on the right). Love the look of Sosa but this Callum character looks decent too.

 

[Jeremiah]

And it's a NO from me.

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Don't even think about it. Use the money to progress and not on a has been.
