Sam tried to sign Ashton from Crewe but couldn't raise/justify the £2m asking price.bobo the clown wrote:I have a good view of Ashton also, but Sam had many chances when he was at Crewe & didn't take them.Interestingly the KUMB site, when not being all 'cheeky-cockney chimney-sweepish' or downright abusive, has a debate on him. They clearly rate him ... he's done no wrong for them ... but there is a view that as he's not that fast, & as he's a target-man ... it means their whole form of playing is dictated by his presence & it prevents a flowing game.David Lee's Hair wrote:Tevez over Benayoun for me, just the sort of player Sam thrives at getting back to his best - totally unrealistic though!!
Realistically though, Ashton in an instant Agree.
None of the rest
Don't we have someone like that already ???

...and soon to be relegated twice in 3 years ... this time without playing a game !!Backgammon wrote:Is Aston really worth all the hype? Am I right in thinking he has yet to have a full season in the premiership? And lets not forget that he hasn't played a single game this season.
I wouldn't say Ashton is an attractive purchase for any club at the moment...
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

he got relegated with a poor norwich side after joining them halfway through the season and played a big part in nearly keeping them up when they looked dead
as has been said he's one person who can't be blamed for the awesome err i mean terrible things that have happened at upton park this season
he'd be a good buy but if we bought any big name striker you'd wonder which of the 3 he'd displace, he's better than davies imo (flame on) but davo has just signed a nice new contract, and anelka and diouf won't be kicked out of the team for him
and then there's the injury worries

The rule breached states: "No Club shall enter into a contract which enables any other party to that contract to acquire the ability materially to influence its policies or the performance of its teams in League Matches or in any of the competitions set out in Rule E.10."
Well, the Argentinians certainly influenced the performance of the team - they sucked from that point on but I'm not sure that was the intent of the rule.

And meanwhile the eel munchers fiddle whilst Rome burns. They are debating the fact that their kit next season will be supplied by Umbro.
I have been reliably informed by my Umbro contact that there will be some minor adjustments to the home shirt that has been shown. The sleeves are set to be less 'jazzy'.
That's right, and they won't have Premier League badges on them either.
