farawaysaint Posted 22 October, 2013 Share Posted 22 October, 2013 (edited) http://www.caughtoffside.com/2013/10/22/southampton-line-up-ambitious-move-to-sign-man-united-winger-ashley-young/? No direct quotes and a strange strange move, considering our reluctance to use wingers I don't see it happening.

Ulrich van Gobbel Posted 22 October, 2013 Share Posted 22 October, 2013 I'd rather take Aaron Lennon but not sure where either would fit in to our regular system as we don't play with out and out wingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSAINT Posted 22 October, 2013 Share Posted 22 October, 2013 Kagawa would be a much better fit for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 22 October, 2013 Share Posted 22 October, 2013 Kagawa would be a much better fit for us. ah Kagawa is different,we'd have to apply for a new work permit for him and that's too much hassle for a player we don't really need. Anyway as we're now a "fashionable club" (well for the time being anyway) who've obviously got a couple of bob agents will start including us in their wish list when they're trying to get their players a game.

Wes Tender Posted 22 October, 2013 Share Posted 22 October, 2013 Should we really be considering the rejects from a team below us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubai_phil Posted 22 October, 2013 Share Posted 22 October, 2013 Are we really turning our noses up to England and Manchester United players now? No. We are talking about Ashley Young. Big difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Tender Posted 22 October, 2013 Share Posted 22 October, 2013 Are we really turning our noses up to England and Manchester United players now? Yes. Cleverley is both, but I very much doubt he would get into our team. But we could take on Young as a Diving Coach, although on second thoughts he isn't very good at it, so as you were.

shurlock Posted 22 October, 2013 Share Posted 22 October, 2013 Would definitely say yes just because the mongboard says no. Last time we had a debate about wingers, the unanimous verdict was that Andros Townsend wasn't good enough for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted 22 October, 2013 Share Posted 22 October, 2013 Eric Djemba Djemba played for Man Utd and David Nugent played for England. I think it just shows how average both Man Utd and England are at the moment that Young gets a game for either. I wouldn't take him personally, I don't think he's that good.

KelvinsRightGlove Posted 22 October, 2013 Share Posted 22 October, 2013 He looked class for a while. Played out of his skin for a spell at Villa, and when first at united looked like he had been there for years. Performance levels just seem to have fallen off a cliff of late.

Window Cleaner Posted 22 October, 2013 Share Posted 22 October, 2013 (edited) He looked class for a while. Played out of his skin for a spell at Villa, and when first at united looked like he had been there for years. Performance levels just seem to have fallen off a cliff of late. because he's a speed merchant and pace dimishes with age. PL full backs are also getting better, was the last bastion where a useless player could get a PL game but recently even that's changed. Comes from better coaching and fitness I'd guess, plus with the new 4-2-3-1 systems with AMs dropping back into their own half to defend a wide man needs a bit more than a burst of speed over 50 yards. Look at the knobber Welbeck, supposed to be speed merchant right? just come on as a sub so you'd think he'd be able to outpace a DM who'd run for 80 odd minutes right? Wrong cos he doesn't have a brain. Edited 22 October, 2013 by Window Cleaner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krissyboy31 Posted 22 October, 2013 Share Posted 22 October, 2013 Young has lost his way in the last season or so but that's not to say he couldn't become a decent player again, in the right team, under the right coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
