I said this and I like Ashley Young tbh. I would get rid of him after many other players but if a team actually wants him, he should go. Our fans need to somehow organize some massive, serious and continious protest.It's ridiculous. Can't be real ffs.
If what we are hearing is true our club captain was ready to bail on us while squad is down to bare bones. These are the leadership qualities we seek?
It is not perfectly normal for the owners of a football club to take a billion pounds out of the club however you look at it.let’s not get back to this - a leveraged buy out is perfectly normal. the football club is a business, if you want to blame anyone for the ownership that blame Edwards for floating on the stock exchange.
Should owners of clubs have to do what Roman does and pay in hundreds of millions of their own money to keep the club afloat?
the fact that they ‘haven’t put any of the own money in’ is completely irrelevant to how much we spend on transfer fees and wages.
Back to Young - given our injuries across the squad, and our inexperience and injury prone full backs, I’d rather he stayed until the summer. He’s still a good player, and I don’t imagine he will be anything but professional if he’s here for another few months.

Does the club want him gone ?He wants to leave, we want him gone. Where's the problem? Could be the club weren't Interested in giving Young another contract until Inter showed interest. The club then panicked and offered him a years deal and Young told them where to go. Good on him I say. If all the rumours are true.
Exactly this.People who think that he is/was loyal servant dont deserve anything better.

We're talking about Woodward here, you never know.When I talk about we I'm taking about the supporters. The club I don't know about. His contract expires in the summer and it looks like it wasn't going to be renewed if Young is interested in going to Inter. Surely any contract extension would of been sorted already?
This you should not believe for a second. No chance in hell. In contrary, Ole praised his professionality as late as this morning.Di Marzio reporting young doesn't want to be named in the squad from now on. Why has he not been sacked as a captain if that's the case? Can't even imagine the reaction to this if pogba or Martial did this.
Young is a handy player as he can be used both left and right. However, we do have Laird and Rojo, so maybe time to say goodbye. And I can understand why Young does not want to spend his last 1-2 years as a footballer as a 3rd choice (behind Williams/Shaw - Bissaka/Dalot), so this talk about "disloyalty" is a bit silly, IMO. Let him go this window, as this may be his one and only chance to get a decent contract somewhere else.
Find it strange that people say 'We'll put Ethan Laird in the squad". Our squad is stretched pretty thin, we have very few leaders and we're fighting for 4th place and the EL. I wouldn't have been sad to see Young leave in any of the previous seasons but not midseason when hes one of the most senior players in the squad.
I don't think you'll find anyone better to hoof the ball up the field blindly and do absolutely nothing else other than point. We can't lose him.Just be happy we are getting rid. Probably the worst regular starter we've ever had.

That is quite obviously not true.
He's not even the worst starter we currently have...not even top 5.
Who of our regulars is worse? Hes been absolutely terrible for a few years now.
Don't know what to believe, i suppose the selected team should clear the picture a bit.This you should not believe for a second. No chance in hell. In contrary, Ole praised his professionality as late as this morning.
Looks like the report had some legs.This you should not believe for a second. No chance in hell. In contrary, Ole praised his professionality as late as this morning.
There are no fecking senior players in this squad. Greenwood & Williams are more composed and look more comfortable on the pitch then these senior players. Young/Jones/Smalling/DeGea/Lingard have been a disgrace when it came to carrying over SAF's ethos. Until we are cleansed of these mugs and Woodward is adequately taken care of we are stuck in this quagmire.Find it strange that people say 'We'll put Ethan Laird in the squad".

By every account Young is on his way to Milan. Because of that, he´s naturally not part of the squad.Looks like the report had some legs.
