Don't want Borini or Lennon. Assume if we wanted Austin we would have bid for him already as clearly he is available at the right price. Young is interesting. After last seasons form I would have him and he may not get much game time with all their new signings. Not saying he is available and his wages are probably sky high anyway.
Valbuena available to loan for 1m with 8m option to buy. Upgrade on Giacc and would fill the ACM role. We should be looking to kill 2 birds with one stone with Austin. Cash + Fletcher or Wickham
As sensible a monty thread as there ever could be. I'd really like the club to make a move for Borini and pull out just before the point of no return.
I count one very good player (Young) one good player (Austin) and two awful stinking, useless piles of ****.
The kid is average at best mate. It was (is) laughable that he kept the Angel of the North out of the first XI
You didn't watch him once last season then? Your reference to Angel of the North has gone over my head, who's starting 11?
Penny has Dropped! ADM was bang average and below after a while last season, Young stepped up and was one of our stand out performers last season, I wouldn't have expected it from him but fair play to the lad, he was fantastic and I couldn't have asked anymore of him, especially when LVG was playing him as a wing back!
He's a good man! Anyway this is pointless, I get your views on Young and respect them. My point is that Monty can't count. Lennon FFS!
If LVG knew how to play flair wingers this would not have happened. See Robben at Munich for this. Also, despite his poor performances, is ADM not the 2nd highest assist creator (it might be chance creator but definitely one of those) of last season? Young would do well at a Newcastle or a Sunderland (we are average clubs) but he is not your level.
I quite like Young, you obviously don't. We didn't have Robben either, we had to work with what we had, and deploy a silly 3-5-2 farce for half the season. ADM lost the ball more times than I care to remember last season, he's built like a praying mantis and gets bullied far too easily, I hope he either bucks his ideas up or gets his bags packed, £60m player shouldn't be used as impact subs.
To be honest, I think I am letting my personal opinion on him cloud my judgement. Perhaps average is harsh. I stand by the fact he should not be keeping ADM out though. Next season he will shine. I am convinced of this.
