Fuck sake.
Overall he’s been a very decent signing IMO and his first 6 months in particular were very strong. But there’s no doubt age caught up with him this past season.
Frustratingly, and unlike our other old or unwanted players, the circumstances for his exit are actually perfect.
Firstly, his contract is done, so we don't need to pay him to leave like Godin. Secondly, there's very strong interest from Watford so there's actually a clear and desirable destination for him to go to.
Young is obviously in the twilight of his career and he had one last hurrah at Inter, culminating in a scudetto. This story has already had a happy ending. So just fucking let him go and conclude things on a high note for all parties involved. If he left tomorrow, I would remember him fondly as a good backup who was a pleasant surprise and positively contributed. If he stays, I fear he will only continue his downward trajectory and become a source of frustration and a liability on the pitch.
Despite the reports of Inzaghi wanting him, I suspect it has just as much to do with the club preferring to spend €5m gross on another years wages, instead of €10m for a Dimarco transfer. Fucking animals.
At this point I'm placing my hopes more on Young to reject the offer in favor of returning to Watford, instead of our management with their diabolical and poor-executed cost-cutting.
