It is certainly looking that way. I'd like someone to be honest about this though and say it.
 
I like the idea of this.

Not because I've seen the lad play, but it would be dead easy to convert my Arbeloa song into a Figueroa one.

Lets buy him!

*sings to the tune of Lola*

How about Figaro from the Barber of Seville?

Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigaroa

etc.

It'd be dead hard to get the timing right, I admit.
 
Liverpool agree fee of £2.5m for Aston Villa's Luke Young
• Anfield club are short of options in full-back positions
• Hodgson had previously tried to sign Young for Fulham
By Stuart James (guardian.co.uk)

Aston Villa's Luke Young attracted the interest of Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson in his previous post and he has rekindled his interest now.

Liverpool have made a surprise move for the Aston Villa full-back Luke Young. Roy Hodgson, the Liverpool manager, tried to sign Young earlier this year when he was in charge of Fulham and he has now rekindled his interest in the former England international. Liverpool have agreed a £2.5m fee for a player who has been told he is surplus to requirements at Villa Park.

Although Hodgson's pursuit of Young might raise a few eyebrows among Liverpool supporters, the 31-year-old is able to operate in both full-back positions and was asked to represent England as recently as last November, when Fabio Capello failed to persuade the defender to reverse the decision he made earlier that year to retire from international football with seven caps to his name. He would also increase Liverpool's quota of homegrown players to comply with the new Premier League rule.

Liverpool are also short of options in the full-back positions because Emiliano Insúa is set to join Fiorentina and Fábio Aurélio has left the club on a free transfer. Philipp Degen, the Switzerland right-back, has also been told that he can look for another club after meeting with Hodgson last week.

Villa have been keen to offload Young as he is one of the club's higher earners and has three years remaining on his contract. Sunderland had also expressed an interest in signing Young this summer but were unable to match his personal terms.

Villa's decision to make Young available for transfer came as a disappointment to many of the club's supporters. Having joined Villa from Middlesbrough in a £5.5m deal two years ago, Young performed well in his first season but his start to the following campaign was curtailed through a combination of injury and personal tragedy, when Andre, his 17-year-old half-brother, was found dead on holiday.

Young eventually came back into the Villa side but made only 14 Premier League starts and was ultimately unable to dislodge Carlos Cuéllar, an orthodox central defender, from the right-back position. He remained a popular figure among the Villa supporters, however, and was given a standing ovation when he appeared as a substitute against Blackburn Rovers in the final match of the season.

For. Fucks. Sake.
[/quote]Mate he can do the job of Aurelio and Degen and sit on the bench to be our back up LB and RB. I cant believe he is being signed as a starter.

He'd be a waste of space and I'd sooner save the cash and rely on Kelly.

[/quote]Thats crazy mate. Kelly to be back up LB and RB?
 
Wilson said today that he can play fullback, as (I assume left back) it was where he played in the youth team.

Handy to know I guess in an emergency.

I aint panicking over this, I'm pretty sure we'll get a better LB when we sell Mascher & Young will be cover.

If not, well, then Roy's clearly prioritising his money toward another position, & considering we'll need at least one CM & we desperately need a backup striker it's kinda understandable.

Heard we've signed Luke young
[/quote]

Have we?!
 
Anybody disappointed with the deal for Young needs a reality check.

A good little bit of business that covers both fb's.

I hear all this Figueroa stuff is a smokescreen, and we're actually after that fullback from Aston Villa.

Anyone hear about that press conference, all Anfield tours have been cancelled.
 
The wigan fans think they should snap our hands off for 6m for Figeroua and that he was bloody awful for the last 18 months. I think I'd rather have Luke Young.

Too right.
 
I've read in a few places today that his agent is quoted as saying the deal is virtually done.
