Young best position ? 17:57 - Jul 23 with 1975 views | hunty21 | Normally a right back/wing back im sure he's here for leadership and experience but we are well stocked with harry clarke and johnson who are all attacking fullbacks so doesnt make much sense unless will play further up field as a super sub |  | | |  |
Young best position ? on 18:07 - Jul 23 with 1893 views | _clive_baker_ | Lets be honest, he's miles better than Harry Clarke. He started 19 league games for mid table Everton last season and came on in a further 13. Harry Clarke couldn't even get on our bench. 1 of Clarke or Johnson will go before the end of the window, and Young will play a decent amount of football this season. |  | |  |
Young best position ? on 18:15 - Jul 23 with 1861 views | MK1 | He is now the best right back at the club. I'll let you decide if it's Clarke or Johnson that's let go. |  |

Why do either have to go? Johnson has also played CM, maybe he's seen as an option there and it'll be Young and Clarke fighting it out for the right back spot. |  | |  |

Because we're two short. Doubt it's a long term position change. |  |

I can’t imagine the plan will be to go in to what is hopefully a promotion season with Ben Johnson in central midfield. Unless I’m mistaken he’s barely played there in his professional career, he certainly hasn’t for us. I can’t imagine he’ll start now. [Post edited 23 Jul 19:11]

No chance. |  | |  |
Young best position ? on 19:07 - Jul 23 with 1448 views | JeremiahBrown | He's probably a replacement for Tuanzebe. |  | |  |
Young best position ? on 05:55 - Jul 24 with 1098 views | PioneerBlue | Unless there really is a sale to be done for Ben Johnson, recover some cash, having Young work alongside HC and BJ would be valuable. I don’t see how they share the minutes though, that suggests a leaver in the near future. I’d expect that not to be HC because loaning to a Champ club is not in our interests you’d have thought. OP: Full back, but potentially a bit of depth for the forward right side whilst we work out how minutes Ogbene can cope with and determine whose best out of Jaden and JC, plus Burns not going to contribute a lot if anything before Jan.

Young best position ? on 07:23 - Jul 24 with 977 views | TownieRob | I would be amazed if we carry all 3 in our 25 man squad. My expectation is that BJ will be moved on if we can get a a decent enough fee for him. I'm pretty ure Young has played at LB/ LWB in his career too. Ticks a few boxes for me this signing. |  | |  |

I think Clarke started off in the Burns/Ogbene role and then moved into the middle when Ogbene came on. I think he has lots of the attributes to play that RW role quite well that Burns does so well. He's very progressive with his passing and running with the ball, good in the air and can do the tracking back. It will be interesting to see if we see him get more minutes there in preseason. |  |
