right, stoke, fuck him off and move on, for pity's sake! To be honest, that makes it sound like, contrary to Radio Stoke's reports, we are the ones who are "f*****g him off"?

Where would you put your money, that the Radio Stoke story came from the club or the Sentinel story did? I'd go with the latter.

It sounds like Spinks is convinced we're now looking elsewhere, even though we haven't totally ruled Ashton out.

Possible scenario:
Rudge tells Radio Stoke off air last night the terms of the deal, Radio Stoke decide to broadcast a part of those details this morning without contacting Stoke.
Stoke were actually going cold on Ashton and thus they phone Spinks to get him to immediately redress the balance.
Or somet like that?
???

This is getting very tiresome now. I still think we should have taken Cisse when we had the chance.

wasted valuable time, fuck him off and lets sign some other bugger problem is, who is there? can't think of any better striker than we already have out there who would be willing to come to stoke and as we don't "do foreign", our options are a little limited. my money's on us not signing a new striker at all.

That's the problem with Ashton, isn't it?
He's a great player, when/if he's fit.
The temptation is to stick and stick and stick until we've completely exhausted any chances of brokering a deal.
I can't beleive we just suddeny had doubts about his ankle though - like Saul on the Road to Damascus.
It's got to be about money, with us finally getting sick of banging our heads against a brick wall?
Unless we did suddeny have a moment of clarity and thought we couldn't gamble all that cash on one man's ankle?

The reason that the Sentinel are saying (ON ICE) is that its printed during the night now, you can get a copy of the sentinel at 7.00 am from the paper shop and they don't do extra late issues etc, so what i am trying to say is the Sentinel have missed the Boat again.

Grapey, there could be nothing in that Spinksy article other than SCFC forcing DA's hand. Are we trying to pressure DA into doing something sooner...?

I didn't realise that Paul, are you saying that this story is in the printed Sentinel in the newsagents this morning? If that IS the case, then it puts a completely different slant on it all. I was assuming that the story was only on their web site and had gone up very recently. ???

Fuck him off. Enough is enough.
Kits has finally decided to “do a bit” so we’ve got decent cover for BT and Fuller.
Instead of consistently taking risks on talented players who have been plagued by injuries, why not take a different kind of risk on an up and coming player from the lower leagues (I.E. Beckford or alike).
Wouldn’t be that big a gamble given that he would be 3rd or 4th choice behind the rest.

Can some of you on here have some sense now and stop taking people that you've never met before so seriously? DV's- the messiah? Like my arse.

Unless we did suddeny have a moment of clarity and thought we couldn't gamble all that cash on one man's ankle? Or that we think we have better targets in our sights now maybe? That was probably the case with Bent. Maybe Pulis thought he had to dip his toe in that one, even though it was an extreme long shot. And maybe it's possible other new higher-quality potential targets have emerged Interesting to know when the tipping point came though after waiting and waiting and waiting.............and waiting But it'll be interesting to see who else they've got up their sleeve that they're actually confident of getting here if, after holding on so long for Ashton, we're now ditching him for players they genuinely believe are better value-for-money - at least when you factor in the risk factors in any Ashton deal? Grapey, there could be nothing in that Spinksy article other than SCFC forcing DA's hand. Are we trying to pressure DA into doing something sooner...? M Don't suppose you can rule it out completely, M. I dunno what to think of this Ashton lark any more.

"Ashton will be announced this friday" "Ashton will be announced this Monday" "Ashton will be announced this coming friday- little niggles with the contract" The fact that 80% of this board dare not question his "knowledge", thus resulting in 200,000 odd posts and one signing in the New Signings thread.

Pretty much fits with Dave's posts last week I can tell you that the Club will not wait much longer for a certain player to complete a deal thats 100% fact Throw us a bone, Dave. You're not on about Medical Man here, are you? We understood he personally wasn't the problem. We have other Strikers that we could start completing a deal withbut are these strikers "not as good" as dean ashton could be? They are good Medical man ??? So is it him causing the hold up? Thought he was really up for signing for us? Sometimes there is no choice but to move onso just confirm, the medical man deal is dead? Not dead,still promising,just needs a push
