Andrew Kent 0 Posted April 23, 2006 yeah, stop the hammers getting into the final which means they won''t get into europe, which in turn means we''ll miss out on £125k from west ham! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woodford Canary 0 Posted April 23, 2006 But don''t we get another £250,000 if the Hammers get into Europe? Since Liverpool won yesterday, the losing finalists in the FA Cup would get their Cup Winners Cup place (they''re in the Champions League) - at least I think that''s how it works! And I think I read that the Ashton sale had two £250k clauses - payable if they stayed up (ka-ching!) and payable if they got into Europe (didn''t look likely then, but now?...).

sheded 0 Posted April 23, 2006 5.35 pm , and still no score ... neither side LOOK like scoring ! Ashton had two heading chances , but could only give it straight to the keeper , and gets robbed a bit too easy .Liverpool will moider any of these two teams , I`m getting my bet in right now !! Jaysus ! Hammers have just scored [ Harewood ] [H] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lionel Hutz 0 Posted April 23, 2006 Okay, so we may not have liked the way - 1. How Norwich handled the transfer, usual smokescreens etc and 2. How Dean Ashton went about it. The fact remains however as an ex-player of the club I wish him all the best for the final and for next season in Europe. I hope the Hammers win, however it would be bizarre if Deano picked up a groin strain prior to the final!!!!We received a lot of money for Deano and I truly believe that we bought well with Rob Earnshaw and he will score a bucket load of goals, in which case it will be Dean Who.

Chris Sutton, Iwan Roberts, Darren Huckerby - those are City legends of the recent times and Ashton doesn''t even compare slightly to the commitment, loyalty and return these players gave us.

Sing up the river end 0 Posted April 24, 2006 How can anyone like what Ashton done?.He played well in the prem,thenwell for the first few games of this season.He then realised that wewasnt going to get automatic promotion and played rubbish until 2 weeksbefore the transfer window opened.As for saying hes a legend dont make me laugh,he was only here for 1 year and had a spell of 1 goal in 15 games.Yes he is a talent but we only see a very few good games from him in the championship this season.

ZLF 271 Posted April 25, 2006 I agree that having been here less than a 1 he will never be a city legend - but likewise he does not deserve the negative posts he is getting either.It was clear that his head was turned by the attention of citeh pre season and this affected his form but having said that he is still our top goal scorer with 11 (didnt we go several seasons withour best goal scorer not reaching double figures with a full season behind them?) in a season which started with just 15 goals in 13 games with the least creative midfield city have had in years and playing a style the failed to create many chances. The fact that he had 1 goal in 15 means he must also have had a spell of 10 goals in 15 this season.With no prospects of this club returning to the prem for at least 18 months (at teh time) I cant blame any talented player for wanting to play on the biggest stage. Had we put ourselves in a position to satisfy his ambition he may have stayed longer - we will never know. I was glad to see him in a city shirt, sad to see him leave too soon, feel we failed to get the best from him but wish him well in his career with West Ham and hopefully with England too, although the patent lack of pace is unlikely to mean that will happen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syteanric 1 Posted April 25, 2006 well done Deano... u were an ambitious man and have fulfilled that ambition by playing in the premiership and getting to a cup final.. the chance of Europe next season awaits...or u could have festered at a mid table championship side that is going nowhere, with a manager who encourages long ball, Ashtons career was going down the toilet here.. he made the right decision at the right time.. Why are we criticisng someone who had a career plan, who is ambitious.. lets face it he was never going to be here long.. we all knew that from Day 1? why slag the guy off because he has proved a point and acheived his dream? what if u left ur job only to be heckled, slagged off and criticised by the people u work with now, because ur ambitious and took on a role with better prospects and more money? works the same for Deanojas :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
no1canary 0 Posted April 25, 2006 ive always wanted him to do well since he left. it was good for the club and ashton in the long run. we weren''t gaining anything from keeping him here. he deserves to be in the prem as he is a premiership player. good luck to him i say. and no, he''s not a legend, but i will always have a likening for him.and to clear the add-ons thing, its 125k for getting into europe (which they have), and another 125k if he plays for england while at west ham. can anyone confirm if the 15% sell on clause is 15% of the fee, or 15% of the profit west ham get? i would have thought the first, but not sure.

ZLF 271 Posted April 25, 2006 I think there was a mention of 15% on profit earlier this week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
