# Ashley Young would cost 'crazy money', says Aston Villa manager Grard
|
|
Houllier
|
|
|
|
## Gerard Houllier has admitted that there are no guarantees Aston Villa will
|
|
be able to hold on to Ashley Young next month, although he has warned that
|
|
potential suitors such as Manchester United, Liverpool and Villa's Boxing Day
|
|
opponents, Tottenham, will have to part with "crazy money" if they want to
|
|
sign his marquee player.

Last month Houllier was adamant that Young, 25, who has only 18 months left on
|
|
his contract, would stay. He said: "There is no way he is going in January -
|
|
unless they buy the club. You say Martin O'Neill [valued him at] £80 million?
|
|
Maybe more."
|
|
|
|
However, since then Young has begun positioning himself for a move by refusing
|
|
to sign a contract extension and leaving his long-time agent. He is also
|
|
spending less time in the Midlands.
|
|
|
|
With **[Villa][7]** four points above the relegation zone, it would be a
|
|
dreadful time to lose Young, their stand-in captain. But the only assurance
|
|
Houllier would offer is that the club would consider keeping him to his
|
|
contract.
|
|
|
|
"We hope [we can keep him]. The club's will is to keep him. He told us very
|
|
clearly that he wants to end the season with us. We [could] keep him until the
|
|
end of his contract. With him we would finish in a better position.
|
|
|
|
"If someone comes with crazy money, yeah," Houllier said. "But I don't think
|
|
he will leave in January."
