Smashley Young
- Thread starter Red Defence
- Start date
Useful squad player who's had a productive career. But is a shameful diver and had a shocking Euros and missed a penalty. I can understand some people's dislike for him, but to say he is a shit footballer is pretty dumb.
No ones falling over themselves, they're just calling a player they don't rate a bit shit. Lengths people go to ? You mean type out on a keyboard that they don't rate him? Yeah, such great lengthsNo, at the pathetic posters falling over themselves to put shit on him.It's pretty funny to me, that is for sure. I don't really care, he's pretty shite, and doesn't look match fit. There is absolutely zero any of us can do change how much game time he is getting and how shit it is.
The lengths people go to in putting shit on a player is hilarious.
If you really want to laugh at something, read your posts from this read. Everyone's doing that.
To be fair he has many shite performances over the recent year. Those below 4/10 ratings are very common from Young, which are fair ratings too.
Situations do change. When we signed Young, there were question marks regarding whether Nani is going to stay and if Park (whose in my opinion he was just a workhorse) would be able to keep on running up and down the pitch as he used to do. The likes of Januzaj, Zaha and Jesse were either earning their spurs in the reserve/youth team or else at Palace.
In Young SAF found a seasoned EPL winger, who had a fantastic season at Villa. His versatility was also an asset. Its only fair to believe that SAF saw Young as a first teamer (or at least a serious contender to that role) and the salary reflects that.
Things are a bit different now. Nani has signed a new contract, Januzaj had taken world football by surprise and we have just invested 15m on Zaha. Jesse is fairing well in the Championship and its seems that out of the two under performing wingers, Moyes would prefer Valencia then him.
If it was for me I would loan Zaha in January and keep Young for the time being. In Summer Young should be sold and Jesse/Zaha should take his (and Giggs) place.
I'd let him go. He's not as terrible as some make out. On his day he is useful, it's just that giving him games is a bit pointless now. We have Januzaj, Nani, Kagawa amd Valencia as our main 4 wide players, all of whom are much better than him, and playing zaha has a bigger upside long term than young. And if you're going to have a 6th choice winger let it be some 18 year old kid tying to make his mark rather than a 28 year old chap on big money.
Its pretty evident that we lack quality on the flanks.We simply lack the class we had throughout nearly all SAF's reign. However we've got some great kids coming up. Januzaj has been our best winger so far. Zaha is extremely promising and Jesse is doing very well in the Championship. On top of that we've got two wingers (Nani and Valencia) who had already shown that they can do pretty well when on form.
I cant say if the kids would be able to save the day on this. What's sure is that we wont find out if their able to do that unless we give them a run. Young is not only taking playing time away from this kids but his hefty salary makes it difficult to the club to bring in new players in. FFS we currently have 7 wingers to cover two roles (Nani, Valencia, Young, Giggs, Jesse, Januzaj, Zaha) + 2 players who are currently being deployed there (Welbeck and Kagawa). That's way over the top.
There is nothing about Ashley Young that says 'United player!' The diving is a problem and his limited abilty also but more than that, he just never looks arsed.I don't trust him!
He's probably going to say "no" to that because it probably doesn't "burn" him.
Wind up the moan wagon. Cause here comes THE CAF!
Fair enough, I'll start. He's a cheating cnut.
His feelings must be hurting so much after that dive :'(
Poor little bugger

Such hypocrites in the match day thread. They wouldn't call our player a cnut if they thought he was a good player. Because they don't, they use that agenda to insult him as much as possible.
Personally I think he's an excellent squad player and has made a huge difference to our play tonight since coming on.

Agreed. it's getting beyond a joke now!
Rightly so. He's a poor player and a terrible cheat. We'd be massive hypocrites if we thought this was okay. He doesn't deserve to be at this club.
Clearly. And that's the ultimate vilification of him
It's his own fault. He has been told publically by Ferguson and now Moyes. You just expect it now.
Who the feck cares?
He's a cnut and he's not very good at football either. You might tolerate it from a player who is literally irreplaceable to you (but that doesn't mean you condone it), but why on earth should anyone applaud a player who offers this club nothing apart from his ability to cheat
Oh feck off. He went down very easily but there is contact. Players do that week in, week out. It's when there's no contact or when he makes the contact that there's a problem.
Agenda. Driven. Posters.

Because of this hatred for Young from our fans I have started to like him.
Ronaldo says hello regarding diving.

Not really looking at it through rose tinted specs are we?
Rubbish. They would do it if it was Rooney who had dived. Has he heck made a huge difference, stop overstating what you see. Kagawa moving centrally has been the big difference.
Hate hate hate hate hate hate.
What a shit comparison?
It's just plain sad. He goes down so so easily. It's one thing falling down when maybe you could have stayed up or tried to but he goes down at the slightest touch. We'd rip the shit out of him if he played for anyone else.
No rose tinted specs here. Just no Young hatred ones either.
He's almost assisted two goals in less than 15 minutes since coming on. How can you possibly complain.
Odds on cert to win the Fallon D'Floor
Then be objective. He's been involved in the worst incidents of cheating for penalties i can remember in a long time
No, it was a dive from a serial diver. He has been told to cut it out by both SAF and Moyes, in private and in public. He's a cheat and a poor one at that. It has nothing to do with any agenda, bar thinking ordinary players who refuse to stop cheating shouldn't play for the club.
Commentator describes Young's contribution as an 'impressive cameo'. Still, he gets abuse.
I'd love to see if any of you would say these hurtful thing to his face.

Very good!
What's that got to do with anything? We're talking about the penalty incident tonight, not incidents that have gone before.
Had that been any other player nothing would have been said. A few would have said they'd gone down easy maybe but nothing like the hate Young gets because of his history and also because he's a bit average.
He's willing to tarnish his reputation in order for us to win the game. A true red. Moyes should have a word with him after the game to praise him.
He's genuinely very good at diving, I'm not sure you'll ever see a play with the ability that he has again in that regard. I reckon he'd be good in Eastenders.
He is absolute shit. Doesn't belong at United.
He's still a quivering fanny, ducking out of tackles. Grow a set, you bumder.
He's fecking shit at it. That's the problem!
