Sorry I know he's an ex Crewe player , but it seems west ham will be a selling club in January, they may take a decent offer £5m+ following his injurys, just the type TP goes for. Could we afford him? I think we could if the speculation about Kitson leaving in January is true, imo we probably could afford him? G Zola may be willing to take a Kitson plus cash deal for Ashton as Kitson would suit how the Hammers under Zola like to play? If we could sign Ashton he Would suit our style very well IMO.

We can't afford to have players on the sidelines, he's a good player but is far too injury prone, so a big NO.

Do you think he would still not want to come stoke if we are still doing as well by january?
He knows the area?

Think he would be out of our price range (7-8m), thats a lot of money for someone that may only play 10-15 games a season, with all the injuries he gets. If he didn't pick up so many injuries he'd be Englands best forward by a mile

No chance, he's a great player and a side like Villa will take him in, or maybe Everton? Certainly a club in Europe.

No manager would be stupid enough to swap Dean Ashton for Dave Kitson!
Ashton is a far better player.

You're out of the Carling Cup and you can't qualify for Europe in the bottom 3 come next may Do you fancy your chances in the FA cup then?

Did anyone think that we would sign Dave Kitson for £5.5 million before we did?

Great player imo but he's never fit so I wouldn't sign him.

His injury record is on par with Darren Andertons, I doubt anyone would sign him until he's proved he can last more than 5 games without picking up injury, it's a shame because he is a very good player.

Why would we break our wage ceiling by a significant stretch to get a player who manages 10 matches a year ??? !

too injury prone and bone idle, if the ball aint to his feet he aint interested. Not a typical Pullis sort of player

Haha Ashton for Kitson ... that's a good one. Maybe we could swap Bellamy for Cresswell while we're there

read somewhere he may be forced to retire if he doesn't get over his latest injury so doesn't sound too good to me. then again they probably said same about fuller with his knees.
