What club in their right mind would bid for him?
20 games in 3 seasons. We couldnt give him away. |

I have it on no authority whatsoever that Ashton is going to come back better than her was before.
Better, Stronger, Faster. Dean Ashton...Steve Austin. Eh? Eh? |

My thoughts exactly, he's not fit enough to play now anyway despite what the guy says, on a long deal so we're in no rush to get rid either, and
potentially England's starting forward with Rooney.
What a cunt. |

Fit and on form we'll do well to keep him, on the past two seasons we'd be lucky to give him away. He's one of our best players, yet what's the point where holding onto him when we could sign a player on 10% of the wages who had more impact over a season? I for one will be sad to see him go, but won't criticise the club if they choose to cash him in for pennies. |

Ashton's first operation was no good, his second operation fixed the problem. Trust me on this.
He is now expected to start pre-season and be an integral part of the team next season. Anything the Mirror says is utter wank. We all know this so why waste time even considering this shit. Goodnight. |

If we get more than 5 games from him next season we will be lucky. Like having an Aston Martin with no engine in the garage. Great to say you have, but fucking
pointless really.

Unlike you to be pessimistic Chin (swt).
The Mirror story is a regurgitation of a tale first published before January. It is also untrue. Dean Ashton will start pre-season training along with everyone else. He will be brilliant. He will be our starting striker for the first game of the season. He will score around 20 goals next season. I thangyew... |

I'm hoping this is one of the few times Hack knows what he's talking about!

I'd love to be in the optimistic camp on this one but unless that experiment where they grew an ear on a mouse has come on so much that Ashton has a couple
of new legs transplanted I can't see this happening.
As Chin says we'll be lucky to get 10 consecutive games from him and if we did then you'd see the same as Diego Tristan, a shadow of the player. Hope to be proved wrong and its based on no inside knowledge, just a guess. But the odds can't be in Deano's favour. At least he has that strength of character to see him through. |

When Ashton came back the first time, he bas obviously apporehensive about putting wieght on the ankle. He didn't jump and did the baby steps to slow down
after running. Then he had an epiphany (around the Man U game when he scored with the bicycle kick). Not putting him back in the squad now even though he's
apprently ready could be aimed at stopping these psychological barries reappearing.
From what I've heard, Ashton's not your typical mercenary player and along with Cole, could be one of the biggest beneficiaries of the Zola/Clarke revolution. Ergo, I reckon he's got a bigger incentive than most to come back firing on all cylinders and to move forward with West Ham and England. |

But lets face it Doomhunk he is a pussy and a bit mental. All that sock shit, the robot warmup. If it came to sheer will and determination to get better then I
wouldn't be holding my breath. I always think he doesn't love the game. He just happened to be very good at it.
I think Rob Green is a bit like that aswell. Its a job for him whereas someone like Noble or Joe Cole is a 'I just wanna play football' type. Who gives a shit ? No one but me and my 'who loves the game most' spreadsheet vs 'which footballer would make the best dad' access database. |

I thin you're being very unfair on Green there Monklington.
He has never asked for or engineered a move, he has never (despite what you may have read) caused trouble at a club. In fact, he told the Totts where to get off when they (thoroughly legally of course, cos they hate clubs who poach) approached him last summer. Green is good... (Ashton has never asked for or engineered a move either. And he's never caused trouble. But you're right about his iron will...) |

No not like that Hack, more like he isn't one of those kids who just loves football. Be like those clips of Maradona as a ten year old doing tee ups with a
ball of socks, have a Panini sticker album, I bet doesn't even support anyone.
He is probably the most professional player we have had in about 15 years but I don't think he loves football. He likes it and happens to be very good at it but he's not like you or me or Mark Noble or Gary Neville (he is my top ten lovers of the game). |

Gary Neville prefers cricket. FACT. So does Phil, which is surprising as he appears to have been hit in the face by the ball, over and over and over again.

Talking of cricket - has anyone ever come across a bigger waste of space as a commentator than Ian Botham? Other than Geoff Boycott of course.
There are so many eloquent and knowledgeable ex-players around I really can't understand why anybody would wish to listen to that pair of cunts. Botham showed all of his vast experience of being just about the worst England captain ever as he slated, absolutely cunted, Strauss for bringing in Swann on to bowl at Gayle just now. Two balls later, Gayle has gone, Strauss is celebrating and Botham's surprisingly quiet. The knob... |

He's a tosser. He is a big part of the problems with Flintoff.

Think you're right about it being just a job for Ashton, Monk. It sometimes shows in his goal celebrations.
