'Indeed, in the last five Premier League seasons, only Cesc Fabregas has provided more assists' Very impressed with this stat. Though people will be upset we haven't signed Sanchez because his name is more exotic and is bound to be better than Young.
Yeh sell our best and most productive attacking player. Makes sense doesnt it. Park would be the one likely to go.
I'm only saying that because I knew it would upset you. I said all along that I believe Young will be our new attacking midfielder. He plays there for England and has been their best player of these qualifiers. Nani will be shifted left because Valencia cannot play there and I don't think Park will leave either.
Don't know why some of you are so unsure? He's a quality player and as with any team with the amount of fixtures that you have will be rotated at some point, but can play instead of Nani or Valencia and centrally so all 3 could play in certain games.
Wow constrepe, to upset nolhman you would rather weaken your own club, now try telling yourself you are a good fan.
I agree though Nani will probably be sold, Inter maybe. Can't see Juve or AC getting him. Young will be his replacement and Valencia will always play on the right. Young will not be a squad player for a fee of 16m, we are not Man City. Hope Young does good and hope he can be better than Nani. I am sure Ferguson knows what he is doing.
It was tongue in cheek you muppet. By the way you are now saying Nani is going??? Ages ago you said he's staying then he's going and then you changed your mind again. Now you claim again he's leaving!!! Make your mind up.
What this does, in my opinion is that it frees up Giggs to ensure that he plays centrally all the time now. It's not that he is ineffective on the wing, he can certainly trick his way past most defenders still but he is most influential in the middle. Much is made of Young's versatility due to the position he has played in the last few England games. But the fact of the matter is that he isn't going to take Rooney's place in the team. I'm not sure he can play central midfield though, unlike Tony who can play there, doesn't he play CM for Ecuador? Another thing, I can't believe that people are even entertaining a notion of Nani leaving. Granted SAF may have had a thought or two of selling Nani 18 months ago, but he won't sell him now and Nani has always looked to get back into the first team and he has showed this season that he can be one of our matchwinners. Nani, Valencia, Young and Park. That is a brilliant wing-force. Who else can boast that in the Premier League for sure, wingers that have that much talent, work ethic and flexibility and offer that much threat? Park may not have many years left in him, considering the stress that he must put his body under, God forbid he picks up injuries like he had this season. I'd say that on the wings, noone can match us in the league.
The only reason people are unsure is because he isn't foreign. I guarantee it. People would much prefer a Sanchez coming in because his name is exotic. These are the idiots we are dealing with.
I think it's because these people actually believe that Sanchez is the better player and will have a higher peak level. Also, I happen to be one of them. But I'm certainly not disappointed in us getting Young. I think he will be very good, but he has to step up to the plate as well. And all in all, he is a much smaller risk that Sanchez.
