Seeing as we've given Sankofa a new deal and bought Moutaouakil, it looks like Pardew doesn't expect to have Young for next season. £4.4m is a good price so I'd take that as well
On the football rumours site (yeah I know it rubbish) but Young swap for Carson, Song in for 1.5, Mullins 1m and a young Arsenal centre midfielder on loan.
The fella is one of the best 3 right backs in the country and is just about to enter the prime of his career.
Assuming his ankle is ok now, if we cant get £4m for him then dont sell. He can play all across the back four, and he is far and away the best defender we have left (sorry Stone).
Couldn't agree more, however if he was a bit part player for Chelsea or Liverpool he would have got more games for England. As regular starters for the small fry don't play for England do they.....

Exactly what I've said previously. Completely agree with you.
I've never been Luke Youngs biggest fan, for me he had one good season when he deservadely picked up player of the season. However I think a stint in the CCC is exactly wat he needs, he's been defending against some of the best wingers in the world week in week out and i honestly believe the CCC will not pose as much threat to him, i beleive he'll be buzzing next season if we keep him and will prove to be key in our title/promotion hopes.

I would be pissed if we brought Mullins, especially for that price.

That site cracks me up - there is a Leeds fan on there today who reckons they are about to sign Buffon from Juventus or Casillas and Diarra from Real Madrid. I reckon this site is actually government run and is used as a way to track all the nut jobs that are out there.

None of this £2m rubbish thats being quoted by lazy tabloid journalists.

But Gallas went in the other direction, plus £5m, valuing Cole at £16m.

Double that. Make Young £6m
If he didn't want to stay when we were in the prem, why would he want to stay now we're in the CCC?
£4.4m would be a great deal.
