Potential for a combined fullback age of 72 next season.
I was initially a bit down on the Young signing but with my sensible brain on: He played nearly 30 games last season for a Villa side who finished in European places and had a stonking second half of the season. We are very weak at left back, indeed we played with no recognised fullbacks at all for the crucial last game of the season. So from that perspective he’s an entirely sensible signing and anyone who keeps themselves fit enough for premier league footy at 38 deserves some respect.
Was really good in his second coming at Villa. Incredible to still be performing at this level.
Will be solid for you. Still a bit disappointed we didn't keep him around in a coaching / mentor role for another year.
