rodders0223 Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Absolute no brainer for a new deal especially if we're playing every Thursday. Sure the club will be looking to bring in another right back I've no doubt. It'll be a question if Young is happy with a more limited role next season because while for me he looks absolutely sensational and capable fitness wise, incredible this season, time can move quick on your body at 38. I don't think Unai will be looking to see Young start many games next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 100% give him another year (as long as he’s not asking stupid money). Leadership on and off the pitch, very versatile player who can cover multiple position. Has done it at the top level. Absolute no-brainer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero sentimentality for me. Players in the squad needs to be an asset on the pitch and carry their weight. Ash to be fair to him has done that this season. But he'll be 38 in the summer and i'm not sure what sort of wages he is on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 By a quick search it looks like Ashley Young has been involved in around thirty games for Villa this season. His experience has been worthwhile and I'd keep him for another year even if he plays a little less (ten to fifteen games). However perhaps Emery has other ideas and that is fine also.

CVByrne Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 As we'll have a lot of European games and some against very weak teams surely he's a midweek captain. Deserves a new contract and sure he'll get one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted May 29, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted May 29, 2023 He's worth another year. Time is starting to catch him but his mentality, his quality, his versatility is going to be useful in a season with a lot more games. I'd definitely be taking to him about his feelings on going into coaching as well. His longevity at the highest levels of the game are testament to his professionalism and he might well translate that to being a really good coach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 10 minutes left seeing out games, in any competition. There's no one else I'd rather have on the pitch (maybe other than McGinn and his fat arse) Another year please 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 His experience in European competitions and playing for Milan will be invaluable in our European campaign 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Would be madness not to give him another year - he'd be a huge asset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david-avfc Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 There were times this season when he was one of our best players and he usurped Cash as first choice right back at one point - at 38 he needs careful management but he can still contribute and his experience is so invaluable 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s more than capable of covering Cash and he’s a figurehead/experienced winner in a dressing room that otherwise doesn’t have much of that.

I would imagine RB is an area we will look to be strengthening in the summer. It's a definite weak link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 as 3rd choice LB/RB and general utility guy and figurehead club commercial captain or whatever it is, leader of the youngsters in the league cup and potential new coach etc I say sign him up. As 1st/2nd choice RB I'd like to see us bring in someone new as a first team option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
