Just seen that the Young deal has been completed for £17m. Good price and deal for them.

So Villa now have some money they can play with, wonder if they want any of our second string!

Young has one year left on his contract and goes for £17m, while Luka has five years left and they offer £22m.

Silly money all round.

That is a good price all things considered in this mad transfer market. With Downing looking set to leave too Villa should have a good bit of doe to throw around soon.

'It's triffic for the lad. Utd are a top, top club and Sir Alex is a top, top manager.'

What a great first post for Paul Gazza to arrive on the left.

'Eeeeeeeeh'

Still don't get the fuss over Young, good player but not great. Villa did well to get £17m. English players are vastly overpriced. Why can't someone notice our English lads like Bentley and Jenas? £15m each, cheap as chips.

Ashley Young >>>>> Jenas >> Bentley.

Young is a much better player than you're giving him credit for, will prove a good signing for United. Would have liked him with us.

Me too. Hate to see Utd strengthening.

I didnt compare Young to either of them, I was pointing out the fact English players are overpriced. Ashley Young is not worth £17m, especially with a year left, well done to Villa for getting that.

As i stated, he is good, not great in my opinion. Where would you have him play for us?

Really really weird move, in my opinion. I know they're looking for someone to come in and replace Giggs eventually, but surely with the pulling power United have they could have got a lot more for £20m. Ashley Young is good, but unbelievably inconsistant.

They have so many options for the wide areas now... Young/Giggs/Valencia/Nani/Park...

Whereas we have Lennon/Bentley/Bale/Kranjcar/(Modric)..

Kranjcar and Bentley will be sold, so really we only have Bale and Lennon (and sometimes Modric) as wide options. We need to strengthen..
