Luke Young

[winalotto]

These are the sort of signings we should be looking at, to take us to the next level.

[Rsonist]

Young's a good player but he's supposedly on 50k a week at Villa and turned down a move to Liverpool last season cos he didn't fancy taking a pay cut. Wouldn't want us to be paying anywhere near that.

QPR eye Young

Queens Park Rangers are believed to be looking at taking Luke Young back to London, skysports.com understands.

I think at 32 he will realise those sort of contracts are behind him. He'd be looking at about 30k a week.

Be a major coup.

yes but the force is not with him!!!!

[sirpiechucker]

Would be a very good signing. We need strength defensively in this division and Young is a very good defender. May not be that great going forward as he once was but would be an improvement defensively on everything we already have. Would love to see us sign Onouha as well though.

a no-nonsense rightback who can play left back. however he is one of those players for me that i've never rated. would rather we go for pace in the fullback positions aswell.

our squad doesnt need that much more experience. it needs quality and pace.

For a team first and foremost looking to survive, Young would give us the quality. He's not a top 10 player but considering just who is out there and how much they would cost, Young would be a very good purchase especially considering the alternatives. Orr was solid in the Championship and by all accounts was ok on Saturday but NW clearly see Dyer as first choice and neither are a defensively sound as Luke Young.

I agree about the pace but if we can ensure that we have a strong back four with Derry and Faurlin sitting in then we will be a tough team to crack and will have less need for pace in the immediate future. Big if of course, because to become a strong back four we arguably need three signings but with the likes of Young, Onouha and Simpson being banned around plus Van Aanholt, Traore and Bertrand were mentioned a few weeks ago that would be the type of defensive unit I'm talking about. Three from that long alongside Gabbidon or Hall with Kenny and Derry is a great defensive unit.

[Bigdave]

A good player on his day but do we really need to be spending big on a 32 year old right back? And one thats earned big money all his career, so would he still have that fire in his belly??

[Hertford Hoop]

I would be well happy with Onuouhoha.

Easy for you to say

[mike hunt]

Be strange if he signed, as my dad did the dirty with his mum

[qpruleok]

he turned down liverpool last season can't see him coming here but we certainly need 4 decent defenders,
