Will caveat this early doors by saying I think he'll prove very useful in a promotion bid, and his age doesn't bother me (for the same reason Morsy being 34 didn't bother me)...
But if anyone didn't enjoy some of the antics of the premier league last season, i.e dark arts and diving, they might not like Ashley Young. He's not a player I've ever warmed to, the opposite in fact.
Or is it just a classic case of it being okay when they're on your team? |  |

If you can't beat them, join um. |  |

Morsy is the type of player this place would have lost its head over after we'd played against him, proper houser although not in the same way as Young. Once they become yours, you learn to accept, nae appreciate their ability to engage in the dark arts. [Post edited 23 Jul 19:02]

It's the dark arts when THEY do it. It's game management when WE do it. |  |

Yes.
The stupidest one for me is that loads of people would spit blood when teams in League One would have a player pretend to go down injured to break up the flow of the game, then immediately flip to actively lauding that tactic when we did it in the Championship. |  |

Personally hope he puts on some training sessions on the dark arts
More importantly. Get hold of philogene and clarke J and work with them. Show them what fullbacks hate. |  |

He does have a falling down syndrome, thats for sure. I just hope when Muric throws out to him 4 minutes into the Brum game he doesn't immediately fall down - could be embarrassing.
To be fair he was at Everton and the rumour was Dyche on day1 of preseason training, spend most of it coaching the players to fall over. Obviously just a rumour  .
In all seriousness I think Young's experience will be valuable. Bit like last time in the Champ and most people expected Aluko would be dropped from the squad to allow for an additional signing and KM kept him in the squad for the entire season. Constantly talking about how valuable his experience was for the team. |  | | |

I could not get my head around this at first partly because the position isn’t on that I saw as a priority. However it’s actually an excellent signing and no doubt he will prove highly valuable to the team on and off the pitch. His experience in the game is going to be exceptional and inspiring to the players. As you lose someone like Morsy, step forward Young who obviously lives life the right way and there is another component to moving forward, Azor is Mosy’s replacement on pitch, Young off the pitch. |  |

He will add strength and positivity to the squad, Mosey has given us this and leadership since he came to the club perhaps he will not be missed quite so much now we have Ashley . |  | | |

Young is one of the most infuriating players to play against. Proper busy so and so. Spends all game in refs ears, winds people up, loves a battle.
For all those reasons, I'm very glad he is here. |  |

If the last couple of seasons taught us anything, its that we have to get a bit better at exactly this if we are to compete on a level playing field. |  |

I've seen a number of comments from Everton fans saying they'd have been happy to keep him another year. Which is reassuring.
Does like to tackle in the box however, so we might be conceding a few pens.
Wouldn't be surprised if he starts for us given the money we are said to be paying. |  |
