he is a quality player, who'd offer something different from what we've got but they'd be looking to recoup their money and his attitude is not exactly great, so i'd rather not. i'm pretty certain ashton will stay at west ham. he owes them now after being out for a season. plus, i wouldn't want to risk spending loads on him until he's shown he has recovered. someone mentioned viduka and i'd be happy to see him in on a free. one of the best finishers in the business, when on form. he'd be a excellent player to have in the squad. others i'd like to moot: manuel fernandes - and not just because he scored a stunner yesterday. he's on loan at everton and they probably have first option to buy, but we could try and hi-jack that. i think he'd be great alongside petrov. intelligent central midfielder who can pass, tackle and shoot. what's not to like? lucas neill - if west ham go down, he'd be great option as first choice rb. he's been class for them in recent games. he can also play cb, hence if we kept delaney and brought in neill plus a left back, we'd have a very strong defence with enough cover: neill-mellberg-laursen-bouma delaney-cahill-ridge-lb jussi jaaskaleinen - as mentioned for anelka, with big sam gone he may be available. best keeper outside the top 4, in my opinion.
