Ashley Young

[Nothing]

I knew he'll coming

 

[Hasan]

Just not make the signing.

We have Asamoah, Biraghi and Dimarco. They decided to spend 22m on Lazaro for no reason to be a reserve in a position he's never been comfortable in whilst we also had D'Ambrosio for that spot.

I knew you won’t be able to answer on question without mentioning Lazaro.

From some reason Conte absolutely ignore DiMarco and looks like Asamoahs injury is chronic and keeps coming back. We need someone there, someone who can offer attacking contribution.

I don’t think that will be difficult to offload Young in July if thing doesn’t work, clubs like Aston Villa, WBA or Stoke will give him pay rise to join. He’s former United Capitan after all, John Terry found club when he was almost 50.

Why would he leave Inter, the Champions League and our money for a 2nd tier English club? Aston Villa going down and calling on him to help them back up is the only viable situation there but I don't know how tied he feels to that club.

All in all, we are committing ourselves here on a very risky bet.

Pros?
- He's an experienced player.
- He can cross and do set pieces.

Cons?
- Never played in this position.
- Never played in this league.
- He's very old, coming from a league that doesn't pay attention and does not cater older players which is why they usually give up top level football when they are 32-33. In Serie A years (think dog years ), he's like a 39 year old.
- Doesn't speak the language.
- He's only played with Lukaku and Sanchez before and isn't familiar with anyone else. Probably just knows Conte by a couple of hellos between games, doubt there's any serious relationship there.
- He doesn't possess characteristics that are required for his new role, which are stamina, speed and positional awareness. His best assets during his career have been his long range passing and shooting and whenever he played as left back he was a liability. Which wasn't highlighted because the right back was equally bad defensively (Antonio Valencia was it?).

Lazaro's transfer makes sense compared to this one. Lazaro is a flashy winger who could potentially be slotted in a 3-4-3 in case we opt for that, or a 4-4-2 with wingers, or back to the 4-2-3-1. All formations used by Conte or Inter in the past years. But both are very bad transfers for the wing back spot.

If you want a wing back, get some guy from Serie A and convert him or get a quick loan deal.

Asamoah is too risky to rely on with his injuries, that's why we're going for Young. Sorry I mean left flank player. Why can't they find a proper left flank player from Serie A, beats me. Guess Conte respects international experience and leadership: used to big matches and high tempo, club captain. That's my only take why they are after Young.

But he's not a cheap player by any means so he needs to succeed here.

edit. One problem I also see is that once Young is signed till 2021, next summer we have Asamoah to 2022 and Young to 2021. Biraghi is sent back. So if we're going for a new starting LWB, that means we will have one almost 3m€ net LWBs on the bench and one on the stands (or on the bench too). Other result is we're heading next season with Asamoah and Young as our LWBs. Think about that.

 

[Irequis]

The most probable scenario is we will offload Biraghi and Di Marco as soon as possible. That leaves Asamoah as the backup for LWB and CM while Young acts as the backup for both LWB and RWB. Then Marotta will be dealing the biggest homework for decade i.e. signing competent fullback/wingback for both righ and left flank. If we enter the next season with Candreva and Asamoah with Young and Lazaro as backup, we might accept the fate that Scudetto will not be ours and we will surely crash at UCL group stage again.

 

[brehme1989]

Dimarco has loan offers from some Serie A clubs already, so he's probably a goner if he doesn't like shining the bench a lot.

 

[Bluenine]

I forget, can we return Biraghi or do we have a fucking gentlemen's agreement?

 

[brehme1989]

12m option. I think the gist of the agreement is that if Fiorentina wants Dalbert they can get him for 12m and we'll seal the Biraghi deal.

it seems that Spinazzola cancels this deal which is great news.

 

[Shark]

I would rather eat bird shit than have him here. I hope to all gods that this falls through. Fuck ManU.

I want him here now and to score his first goal

And you post the video!

 

[Nerazzurri's Hoe.]

I want this deal to flop so bad lets go! :slick:

 

[satubito]

Can we close this thread now that Spinazzola is here? No more Young rumors

 

[CoolMan44]

I just a read a rumour that he could come in to replace Lazaro. Then again, it is football Italia.

The rumour is from Pedulla. Sky reports Spinazzola excludes Young. I guess we need to wait and see. The most worrying thing is Spinazzola didn't finish his medical today and we need to wait till tomorrow. Hopefully they didn't find anything worrisome.

 

[Provenzano]

Given the complications in negotiation for Spinazzola, Ashley Young is in stand-by position. Inter have reassured the player’s agent to be ready to finalize everything. After all, there is already agreement for a 18-month contract worth €3M net per season.

The final piece of the puzzle is an agreement with the Red Devils. And for someone who is about to have his contract expire, only a small compensation is needed. Young is ready to join Inter and it will probably be the last chapter of his career.
