No direct quotes and a strange strange move, considering our reluctance to use wingers I don't see it happening.

Hasn't that rumour come about from someone suggesting it on here!?

[Jack]

No thanks.

[Turkish]

Not going to happen, we don't play with wingers.

[Bearsy]

£110k a week

 

[Saint_clark]

 

Depressing, isn't it.

[Ulrich van Gobbel]

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.

[SuperSAINT]

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]

Should we really be considering the rejects from a team below us?

[Batman]

I think he could be quite decent.

Just saying

[Glasgow_Saint]

Are we really turning our noses up to England and Manchester United players now?

No.

 

We are talking about Ashley Young. Big difference

[simo]

Rather take zaha

[Wes Tender]

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]

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.

[Mowgli]

Would honestly prefer puncheon!

Some classic fails on that thread

 

Notice Barry was right again

Like

[Lighthouse]

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]

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.

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.
