On the OS MON has confirmed a bid has been received for Luke Young and it appears that it has been accepted as Luke is mulling over the personal offer. whilst it does not say we have officially accepted the bid, you do not allow a player to speak to another club unless you are happy with a bid.
All but done except for the formalities.
O’Neill also confirmed the club have received an offer from an unnamed club for full-back Luke Young.
The former Tottenham, Charlton Athletic and Middlesbrough defender is currently mulling over the offer.
Should he reject the move, he will join up with Villa for the Guadiana Cup.
“There has been an offer from a football club, which Luke is mulling over and if it doesn’t materialize then he would also join us [in Portugal] because he needs to play some football soon,” said O’Neill. “We will see how that develops.”
The press, Guardian and Mirror indicating the unnamed club is Liverpool with a £2,75m offer, so at long last things appear to be moving.
He commented on Milner but not earth shattering news !
Aston Villa News 24/7
I heard its 2.5m
who can we get to replace luke for 2.5m???
Not anyone really, but Luke Young has said he wanted to leave and pulled out of the Portugal friendly competition so that he can look for move.
Thanks Young for everything. He’ll always be a fan favorite.
Makes sense, seeing as Woy wanted him at Fulham.
Would he want to be backup to that mug Glen Johnson though?
He would certainly be an option I guess, in that Luke can actually defend a bit.
£2.75m eh?
That’s not too bad a hit, is it?
It’s not too bad, and Hodgson could even think about moving Johnson to RW and keep Young as RB. Or he could play him as there LB.
we are going to regret selling l young! maybe another cahill gaffe
I agree it’s a mistake but not a Cahill mistake. Young’s already in his 30′s.
oh crap! completely forgot about beye[dont think i spelled it right]
Haha
You did spell it right. I can see Beye staying. Smaller wages most likely, still experienced, wouldn’t cost much to leave and didn’t cost much to get. We still need an experienced player to show Lichaj the way.
Young and Oneill had a row at The Peace Cup last year apparently, heard the whisper while I was out there, and also when I got back. They have clearly never buried the hatchet.
Shame cause Luke is a solid right back.
MON’s personal preferences triumph over footballing logic again and we lose the best English RB in the EPL and our LB cover to one of our main rivals for £2.5m.
Please spend that money on Nathan Clyne.
Welcome Luke to a great club at LFC. Hope you enjoy your stay. You will be a great addition to a club in it’s rebuilding stage.Ta ta to villa for letting go.
