2023/24 Ashley Young

[matty1878]

he’s waiting to see if madrid come in

 

[I can't even]

I long for Pistone.

 

[maccavennie]

I'm waiting for him and Keane in the same team at some point.

Aston Villa away last season.

It didn't end well

 

[Simon Buttle]

Aston Villa away last season.

Of course, I had forgotten about that. I know it's not been much as Keane has just had a few mins here and there most of this season.

 

[blulouie]

I wanna be sick

 

[MikeH72]

Do the right thing and reject the contract Ash. Think of your dignity, and the grandkids.

 

[LEONARD]

Like everything for Ash, he's SLOWLY considering the offer.

 

[Toffeepot]

Seriously though, if this means we redirect whatever meagre resources we have to other priority areas im Kool and the gang with it.

I think he did very well in the final third of the season, influence was worth it.

Agreed
and 5 months ago I'd have kicked him into orbit
Yes I'm fickle

 

[The Binman]

I long for Pistone.

is Tony Thomas still available?

 

[GoldenToffee]

As long as he's on less than £1000 a week and never plays next season I can just about stomach him being around one more year.

 

[gonetomorrow]

Ashley Young is doing stuff on the radio for the euros. He sounds a bit awkward.
Then there's Andros Townsend who is actually quite good on air and Ashley Williams who is bad.
Osman, Lineker even Rooney are now broadcasters too. I wonder if there's a club with more former players on the media.

Is that a tongue in cheek, rhetorical question because you already know of one big, red broadcasting academy across the park?

FINAL SCORE​

Liverpool still have the majority of key pundits on the box - but due to the rise of Sky and the sheer amount of live games now shown the spread of pundits has become more even.

It is no surprise perhaps that four of the big six clubs occupy the top four places, but it is also intriguing to see the last three Premier League champions only have roughly two regular faces appearing on our screens.

And that is at best. No side has been more successful in the Premier League than Manchester City in this decade, yet the current champions only have one standout name among the pundits that can be considered a City expert.

Maybe that will change once the years of success rack up at the Etihad Stadium, and the stars from these teams retire. But for now it's England's two most successful clubs historically that are best represented on the TV screen.

Could probably put a media XI together. Might be our best chance of avoiding another relegation scrap next year
