GENTLEMAN Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Pretty much the only exciting English player since Gascoigne You found the smileys, good for you I gather you don't think there's been any exciting player then Joe Cole? Paul Scholes? David Beckham? Theo Walcott? Wayne Rooney? Just a quick few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 This board has revisionism down so well, that it would bring a tear of unbridled joy to Stalin's eye. I'm sure you really did hate it when he got all those assists and scored those goals for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I loved the guy when he was here. First game for Utd against us, went OTT with celebrations in a direspectful manner despite having nothing to do with Phil Jones' goal. 2nd game against us, cheated. That was enough for me to not like him. He wont be coming back. Why is there even a thread for this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thetrees Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Pretty much the only exciting English player since Gascoigne You found the smileys, good for you I gather you don't think there's been any exciting player then I think the whole world would laugh at the reasonably talented, but remarkably average Ashley Young being even mentioned in the same breath as the enigmatic genius that was Paul Gascoigne.

I would not call any of them exciting thou. Maybee that is because they never played for a club i care for. Never said he was as good as Gascoigne, i said i think he was exciting.

Condimentalist Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I'd definitely take Young back. He was our most creative player when we were decent under O'Neill, and he certainly would be now. Young whipping them in for Benteke - yes please.

Dr_Pangloss Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I think you have to be pretty dumb to not want him back. He's a level above our current attacking midfielders, he'd walk into our first team and improve it instantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Thanks but no thanks. He will be off to a club like Stoke or Hull rather than do something interesting like going abroad to rebuild his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a level above our current attacking midfielders, he'd walk into our first team and improve it instantly. The fact that we have a lack of quality attacking midfielders at the moment isn't an argument for getting Young, it's an argument for getting a quality attacking midfielder. I know I don't want him back. Edited September 29, 2014 by Mantis 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 It's a tough one for me. Loved Young first time around but I'm not sure it would work out here 2nd time around with him coming up to 30 and having maybe lost that spark from failing a bit at Man. United. Different case on Milner, he'd still be brilliant if he came back again such is his mindset but that is a remote one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I'd have Young and Milner back in the summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I don't think there's anyone on this site who wouldn't want Milner back. I can actually see him leaving City....but you can see the likes of Spurs, Everton and Liverpool wanting him so don't think we have a chance personally.

Demitri_C Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 i would still take young back, but clearly united have destroyed him. looks a shadow of the player we had but maybe amove might reignite that spark can see him going to either whichever club candleface is at or spurs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
