Horace Borris 0 Posted August 15, 2005 I heard from my mate, who is seeing someone who works in the ticket office at Carrow Road, that the bid has been accepted.If Ashton can agree personal terms Norwich will use the cash to try and buy Bobby Zamora!

Evil Monkey 52 Posted August 15, 2005 I''ve been on 606 gauging opinions of our summer signings from their previous club''s fans, and saw that rumour on there too... Total bobbins - Deano won''t leave us for a team likely to be relegated next year. Who do you think he is, Damien Francis??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Horace Borris 0 Posted August 15, 2005 City would be crazy to turn down £7 million for Ashton..... and to be fair Wigan turned in a great display against Chelsea yesterday and the club have a great deal of money and could survive based on this performance.Francis obviously saw something he liked up there!?

Wonder Wiganer 0 Posted August 15, 2005 Yeah, Francis found out how great the pies are up here.......Have also heard that Ashton is homesick for the North West and would love to come back but feels he owes something to Norwich for giving him a go last season.He would be a great signing for us and I hope he comes.

Horace Borris you are a funny man, with a funny name!![/quote]Jamie, you are correct in saying that you''re no longer in the premier league. I think Norwich are bringing out a DVD reviewing last season, aptly named ''''Back where we belong''''!To be fair its not really surprising either......look at the great start you''ve had. Keep up the good work guys, you must be proud.Ashton would be daft to stay at such a small time club with a glorified chef running the show, why not leave for a premiership club cos face it, Norwich are staying exactly where they are.

BedsCanary 0 Posted August 15, 2005 I''ll feel sorry for Wigan when Francis starts turning in the no-shows because it looks like a move to London is on the cards. So Chelsea only beat you 1-0? Big deal, Chelsea rarely beat any team by more than one or two goals, that''s the way they are.We''ll be passing you on the way up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dean Coneys boots 1,406 Posted August 15, 2005 being happy about collecting 0 points is an odd thing in my book. We proved one thing last season...good football and gutsy performances are not a sound substitute for league points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A West Ham fan who has finally crawled out of his hole after slumming it in the Championship for a couple of years. Haven''t you got anything better to do?

Tumbleweed 106 Posted August 15, 2005 Normally when a new team gets into the Prem we all hope they do well.However arrogant turds like this do a very effective job of getting one to hope that the big boys give them a regular stuffing. Well done Wigan fans- excellent job done in turning a few bodies against you. Keep up the good work and everyone will hate you by season end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wonder Wiganer 0 Posted August 15, 2005 TumbleweedI only posted on here about any news on Ashton and have not been slagging Norwich off....You seem a bit touchy about us Wigan fans but merely a friendly enquiry. If you read all the posts on this subject the other person who did put the negative commets was a West Ham Fan.So don''t tar us all with the same brush. I have posted on here before about JJ as I like to see our ex players do well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cheeky Monkey 0 Posted August 15, 2005 Give the lad a break. He was only enquiring. Which radio station was the "news" on Wonderer ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cheeky Monkey 0 Posted August 15, 2005 Wonderer. Forgive us, with the Duke departing, you can understand why any Norwich fan would be reluctant to lose their top striker too.But I understand that as much as Ash probably does miss the NW:a) He must stay for at least 12 monthsb) I believe more established Prem clubs have sohwn an interest i.e. Tottenham and NewcastleTherefore, I would be VERY surpised if he left before Jan, and then only for 8m+As for Wigan, I always like to see newcomers to the Prem succeed. I wish Wigan all the best ! I''d like to see Portsmouth, Fulham and Blackburn come down this year, with all 3 newly promoted clubs staying.Unlikely - but you never know.

What is Wigan offering Francis that he likes ? free councelling and a couch session with a resident psychiatrist every time he feels too good for your team ? the season is young, Borris , just can`t see Francis being anything but a maggot gnawing away at Wigans team spirit , but hope springs eternal , LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

carpio 0 Posted August 16, 2005 Bid now said to be 7.5 mil , still not enough in my opinion. BUT at what price do we become interested? 10 mil would be hard to resist Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tumbleweed 106 Posted August 16, 2005 OK, Wonder Wiganer I apologise. I had half an eye on the cricket which was getting quite tense!. Anyway good luck for the season, but please don''t pinch Deano from us! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
