Thank God you mentioned Sanchez . How original of you. You are a fountain of footballing knowledge. But then again, you don't support United so what else would I expect?
Yes, he set up that goal, but the game was already lost, but as you said he was already in bad form due to a lack of playing time. A true Utd fan would know Young is not a soloution to our problems, we already have alot of these.We need some technical players, who can pass and control games. I guess you woundn't know, seeing your understanding of football is next to nothing.
What is it about Sanchez in particular that you like, given that you've studied his superb technique? More importantly, what does Young lack technically? In my view, he has a great first touch, has pace, is a good dribbler and a great crosser. So tell me where he lacks. Oh wait, he lacks because the popular opinion says so. You don't have a clue. Sanchez? . You've never seen him play.
Most sensible comment I've read here in a while. Sanchez would have worded it better but Young would have just ballsed it up.
I'm not saying Sanchez is a viable soloution for a United, just saying he would be a better alternative for Young. Young is not a bad player, hes average. Performing really good in a medicore team dosen't make him the next ronaldo. Going by your judgements and the English Media, Scott Parker must be a world class CM when he's clearly not. The reason most people think Young is not good enough, is because they are real fans and actually watch thier team play, and not just quoting players from articles. You'd know why if you actually watch United.
As a Norwich fan in peace just reading the debate, I actually thought the 3rd goal was Carrick's fault passing it back to Nani in the area. Anyway, I think Young would be a good signing for you and add more competition/depth to the wings, Nani/Valencia/Young..not a bad selection. However I think with a year left on his contract 12m would be a fair price.
And as I have said before, Young has set up more goals than anyone else in the PL over the last 4 years, bar Fabregas, by some margin. He has also scored a fair few in that time too. And he's done that playing for a team that has never finished above 6th so no, he is not average. In fact, if you believe statistics (I do) he is actually a bloody good winger. And I don't know how someone who claims to watch United with such hawkeyed vision as you claim to have, can't see how Young may have benefitted us when Nani was flatlining in the closing months of last season, even before Valencia returned. But yes, let's go for a Sanchez (he's pretty good apparently) as that will solve everything!
btw sanchez is light years better than a.yong, not even comparable, Sanchez has ability to be one of the 2/3 best players in the world in his position, a.young is like 26/27? couldn't even get in to an England squad for the world cup, and england are an average team, not world class or will never be a world class player
Yes, young would be a good addition to our squad, but giving that we have a lack of funds, they money should be spent on a GK hopefull De Gea and a CM. I don't think Strengthining the wings would improve united drastically. I just don't agree to that fact that some people suggest that Young should be a piority.
Young is a average Premiership winger, you can't say he bad, but he isn't world class. If he is a bloody good winger, why did he only break through the England team this year? Surely if he's as talented as you suggested, where was he in South Africa or other England Squads over the last 5 years.
I don't actually think he should be either tbh. I just don't agree with so many United fans who laugh him off as being not good enough for us. He is imo. But the central midfield is in dramatic need of reconstructive surgery and that should be the priority.
Which proves my point that he can't even breakthrough a average England team? Saying Young over Nani really baffles me.
How have england done 66? pretty average, unless you think young would have made a difference, probably why he was completely useless 3/4 of last season, has a few decent games against wales and Switzerland english football is desperate
I just really hate the fact that any English players who have several decent performances gets overhyped by the media and then plastic fans cry for thier clubs to sign them. (apart from Wilshere, which I think he's a real talent) Yes, young did impress me vs wales and switzerland, but don't forget who the opposition is, they are championship qualtiy.
Yeah I know how poor England are and I know Young wouldn't have waved some magic wand to turn things around. The point I was making is that Capello hasn't got everything right and imo Young should definitely have been in that squad, given that he was the statistically the most creative English player in that time and was also a very good set piece taker (something England didn't have without him). Young or any other winger shouldn't be a priority imo. It should be a central midfielder (as Corbo said) but should we go for a winger, Young would do very nicely in my view. As for central midfielders, I'd like a box to box type but there aren't many about right now and even Essien, who would be the yardstick imo, had a poor season last year.
