I dont think Ashton is going anywhere, Bob and the Author are right, why dont we just buy him to play alongside Ashton or Cole (Depends who ends up injured first)

I can’t believe we are talking here of only buying Pinto if Ashton leaves, why is that? is it policy at Upton park now that we are only allowed one decent player for every position( in some cases even thats not so), why not buy the guy and let him play alongside Ashton or is that too adventurous for curbs?

“The deal will only happen if Dean Ashton decides to leave”
£5m for a South American Superstar and we will only buy if we sell Ashton for £20m?? Another example of our distinct lack of ambition.

I personally think Ashton is one of the most overrated players in the squad. Everyone keeps sucking up his a*se yet he never produces. All he ever does week after week and jog around outside the 18 yard box, waiting for a stray ball so he can have a dig.

Bellamy seems like he could really score some serious amount of goals but realistically how many games is he going to play? Agreed that Cole doesn’t score many especially for such a promising talent but at least he runs his socks off unlike a certain striker i know.

Maybe Curbs has decided we wont make the 6 this year but we sure will endanger a lot of other teams AKA Thatcher.

If the Icelandics are serious about turning us into one of the future Big 6 clubs. They need to cop the loss and spend 20M on a 25-30 a year striker. We have the midfield and the defence (Neill excluded) to match most of the top clubs. As soon as you make UEFA you attract bigger and better..
