There talk in the Mirror today... that we are interested in getting Ashley young for a swap with Robbie keane.
What do you guys think?
Personally i would love to have Ashley Young :up:
-
Yh but his move poses the same questions as Cole's move did, where would he play and we he start????
-
True... but we could off load bentley for him i reckon.
maybe Modric to move to the centre?
-
would love him too - bearing in mind they are prob losing milner they are bound to want more than just robbie keane - they wont be short of cash if they get 24m for milner, so I wonder if they would settle for keane + hutton or keane + jenas or keane + bentley. i really rate young and i believe that he could play either left wing or right wing so very useful cover for either lennon or bale. because they are fast and willing to take on players, both bale and lennon are at risk of injury from bad tackles and we need someone quicker than bentley, who just overelaborates and slows our game down. young can also cross, deliver a good dead ball and chips in with a few goals. even in an average season he did ok last year, but the previous year he was one of the best players in the prem. sadly I think its a long shot.

This would be an interesting signing and could signal the end for BAE as Bale would probably move back and Young would play in front of him. That would be one hell of Left side going forward, defending may be a bit of a concern though. As for the Fee Keane and £5 million (approx total £13-£15 million) should be enough I would hope although I still think Keane could do a job for us.
:up:
-
I'm happy with the wingers we already have.

Same here. I believe in squad harmony and gelling. Bentley really took his chance at the end of the last season and I'm convinced that he is a good squad player for us. As he is injured right now, I don't think that anyone would consider buying him, especially because it's an ankle injury he has.
-
Great player, but can't see it happening
-
I'd like to have him at the Lane, but its begs the same question as with Cole, where would he play and what would this mean for Bentley, Taarabet and Dos Santos?
Dont think it will fly to be honest

I think this may be happening. This rumor has been around for a long while and it makes sense. If Spurs bring in Bellamy, Richards, and Young - we will have 2 solid players at every position. Keane will go to Villa plus cash and Jenas will be sold eventually. Those moves would cost the club around 20M, leaving about another 20M to attract a big name veteran with CL experience (Raul ?) IF we qualify for the group stages. At that point we may see Gudjohnsen back as well for added squad depth.
25 man squad:
G - Gomes, Cudicini, Pletikosa
RB - Corluka, Kaboul
CB - King, Dawson, Richards, Bassong
LB - Bale, Assou-Ekotto
RW - Lennon, Bentley
CDM - Huddlestone, Palacios
CAM - Modric, Raul, Sandro
LW - Young, Kranjcar
ST - Defoe, Crouch, Pavlyuchenko, Bellamy, Gudjohnsen

Sandro is a CDM. And I really hope we won't sign Bellamy and/or Gudjohnsen. I think that Keane can be better than these two.
-
Villa are loosing Milner and are getting truckloads of cash for him, they won't need to sell Young and will hold out for a huge fee, why would the get rid of both top wingers, would be suicide, can't see any chance of this one happening as I believe Young is quality.
Even if we signed Young, BAE would not be going anywhere, with a huge season coming up we wouldn't leave ourselves with only one out and out left back in Bale, and without BAE that would mean, Bale would not be able to play left mid, unless we played 3-5-2 but really can't see that happening.
-
I do like Ashley Young but i really dont think we need him and even if we did i dont think Villa would sell. Hopefully we can offload Keane to them and maybe Jenas. We need to sign a big name striker!
-
The papers are reporting we have offered Jenas, Keane and Bentley in exchange for Young. I'd be happy to see the first 2 go but I think we have yet to see the best of Bentley, I'd prefer it was O'hara, but I cant see this happening far to complicated a deal to many agents arranging personal terms, and would all 3 want to go.

If it really is true, then it would be a very stupid move - three ok squad players for one squad player. Pointless.
-
I think 3 players, is to much.... 2 of them ok... but 3? Could be shooting ourself in the foot there
-
Well it would trim the fat in some much needed areas.
-
Don't think he would be a squad player, I think 'Arry's looking to team up Bale and Young on the left and Kaboul and Lennon on the Right to give us to very fast flanks.
Only my thoughts could be way off the mark but that's the way I read it

Kabouls a CB mate, Charlies our first choice RB!!!! :D
-
Yeh I realise that Kaboul is a CB but he played the last few games of the season at RB and looked good going forward especially against Man Citeh.
:D :D :D :D :D

This one has been thrown around like hot potato , I have no idea whether it has any substance to it or not. I rate Young, if Jenas, and Keane were to go the other way, plus cash, would be a decent move it may leave little room for Bentley although.
Can Young play on the left too?, I think Milner mostly played left and Young right, he had a good record last season with 5 goals and 7 assists.
If we got Young there would be no room for Bentley, we also have options at LM the in Modric, Bale, and Krancjar, who all play very well at LM, and Lennon on the right, Bentley backup, would he be a starter?, surely he wouldn't come unless he was first team.
If Young were too come, Bentley is no match for Young. If he can play on the left I would say move Bale back to his original LB, even though he was a huge asset at LM, and play Modders and Thud in the middle, Lennon on the other wing, Krancjar coming on as a impact player.
-
Ship out Jenas and maybe Keano , stuff Parker and Bellamy these are not players that are going to bring the club forward they are too old ! Young would be good though !
What we really need is a tried and trusted premiership defender like Phil Jagielka or Brede Hangeland that can hit the ground running , King and Woodgate are injury prone and at this level and with the amount of games we have to play we need cover !! :nods:
-
Like most of us seem to be I am a a fan of Ashley Young, but to be honest I would rather see GIO given a chance.
-
Listening too talksport tonight and apparently Young deal could be alot closer than you think as Villa are only offering him a small wage increase to try and stop him from leaving. Villa are basically a bit cash strapped at the moment due to Randy Lerner not wanting to pile more money in at this time after making a loss of £84 million last year. The rumours are that they will let Milner go to Man City for Cash Plus Shaun Wright Phillips to replace Young when he leaves and apparently that will be to Spurs. Young's father is also a Spurs fan and Young was born in Stevenage... Could be all smoke and Mirrors but the hack they had on seemed to know his stuff and seemed quite sure that this was a possibility !!!!!
:nods:
-
A.Young and M.Richards is the way forward for us now.
I'm starting to believe

Dont know about Richards..Young would be a great signing for us..him on one wing and Lennon on the other :up:
-
Please extinguish your cigarettes and stow all luggage, the seatbelt sign has been illuminated by 'Arry the next few weeks could see a bumpy ride !!!!!

Derry-yid, regarding Richards, my views to why we should snap him up are he's young and English. Only a couple seasons ago he was likened to the calibre of Ferdinand and Terry, he has since fallen by the way-side but that's not to say he's no good. I think he became complacent at City and wasn't pushed to work hard nor have the manager(s) actually sorry to coin a phrase, but put an arm round Richards.
If we were to snap him up I'm truley believe HHarry would give him something to work for, keeping him motivated and get him into a new mind set. I think at Tottenham the likes of Woodgate and King and the coaching staff would really rub off on this rough diamond and within a year we could well have one of the best young Englih centre halfs in the country.
-
I really cant see this now O'neill has left..
-
Really???????? Loadsa people reckon he left because the chairman said that Young will be sold.
-
Leave him at Villa. We don't need him - we have Dos Santos.
-
We should always be looking to improve the squad and Young wouild do that . I thought he did pretty well for England last night
-
Dos Santos~! Young would be great but i fear that if he comes We might lose Gio for real~
-
Looks like this is alot less likely to happen now due to reports of him having a talk with Villa about staying put. He is a good player but we dont need him anyway we need a striker and central defender! FFS Harry sort it out!
-
Its unliky we shall sign anyone untill we have played the CL qualifiers. (win or lose) levy seems reluctant to spend at the moment. But, if we were to get through to the group stages then we will add to the squad knowing we will receive our CL qualification money.
-
'Arry has said live on Talksport this afternoon that we haven't even made an enquiry for Ashley Young so I guess that one is a non starter then !!!!!
:(
-
Dont think this one is very likely. Wouldn't say no though!
