Coming down to the wire: Dean Ashton rumour gathers pace
Monday, 01 September 08, 06:48 AM · Comments (172)
One thing you've got to say about football rumours is that eventually, when enough people are publishing the same one, it sort of adds credibility to it, which does make it more believable.
The two developing today are the Doyle one and the Dean Ashton one. I'd really quite like Dean Ashton and would see him walking straight into the team and giving a huge kick up the backside to Gabby, but we're going to have to wait and see.
Now, the West Ham fans are going to remind us that he singed a contract earlier this year and that he will only leave West Ham for a top four team, but I quite fancy there is something behind this one as the talk is that Martin O'Neill has upped his initial bid of £12mn. to £15mn.
Now, if it happens, I'll be very happy, but the way Martin O'Neill is talking suggests that there is every possibility we've seen all we're going to see, but I'm still hopeful, we have to be don't we?
Whether anything materialises or not I wouldn’t be sure. We have some calls in that we made last week. Some clubs said they would get back to us today. The timing is tight. If things don’t materialise - and they are probably more likely not to - we will not be disappointed. We could just do with getting one or two people in.
Martin O'Neill
While it doesn't sound too positive from the manager we should also look to the positives; we've got players in every position now and while we may not have the cover we'd all like having a right sided attack this season can only be good news.
Eleven hours to go, we'll update you as and when we sign anyone.

he really is a muppet
still .. we all make mistakes
Haha, quality... He's taken the page down.
Damian,
Ashton over Doyle for me
I agree wholeheartedly! Gaby looked so lazy, he didn't seem to read the game or want to put any energy in yesterday.
Yesterday only John Carew, Mon and Ian Taylor bothered to acknowlege the Fans as they entered the Stadium. The fans were terrific with their vocal support throughout -all we ask is for some effort.
rant over
Seriously, if West Ham are asking for £15m, which I'm extremely dubious they are, then just pay it. Perhaps they need to balance the books like Portsmouth, but cutting Freddy Ljungberg and selling your star striker are two completely different cost-cutting methods.
15-20mil for ashton wouldnt be bad at all
anyone remember when we wanted david nugent????season long loan?????
I have just E-mailed him, asking if he got the result from Mystic Meg!!!!!
This just proves what a joke the Mail is and the fact that their reporter can not even publish the correct score makes me wonder if he was at the game at all..
would luv to see ashton, but i really doubt west ham would be willing to let him go...especially since their manager is under so much pressure from the fans, therefore if he let him go then he is taking a huge risk.
doyle on the other hand is a premiership player therefore i am sure the player himself will be pushing for the move. and i agree this will hopefully give gabby that competition he needs to make him a better player. i do hope gabby doesnt loose his form and his desire to play as previous accademy players did (stefan and luke moore).
CME ON U VILLA BOYS!!!
bebatov 2 man city on sky new british transfer record they say!!!!
i would rather mon saved his money and wait till january than sign doyle as a panic buy. a very dear one at that.
recoba is a free agent and wants to play premier, he was idolised at inter.
It's more likely to Doyle than Ashton. Doyle isn't the player we need at the moment but you never know how he may be transformed at Villa Park.
More and more teams are going to come to Villa and see that we can score goals but we can also let them in, so the way to play us is to sit in front of their own goal and try and nick one.
So at least with another striker it gives us another option:
The speedy one: Gabby and Carew
The crafty one: Carew and Doyle
The battering rams: Carew and Marlon
The headless chickens: Gabby and Marlon.
This season is going to be harder because of how we achieved last year. Another body is essential for us to try and push on. However, I still think we are making strides forward but it is going to get harder, especially as Man City have now been bought by Croesus himself.
Damian
your sources seem quite you got anything u can tell us??????
Never mind a kick up Gabby's backside, I think Carew needs one too. He was good yesterday but if he got some consistency to his shooting, he would be rightly viewed as one of the best in Europe.
I reckon West Ham do have a price that they'd sell for and I reckon we should give it them, as our lack of striking qualitiy is the only difference between us and the big three. And Liverpool.
i'd be thrilled if we got dean ashton i said all summer long when we were linked with both ashton and santa cruz that i'd easily rather ashton
i cant really see the deal going through however stranger things have happend lets hope eh
utv
the fact that liverpool came for a draw speaks volumes in itelf.
onto trnansfers. ashton would be awesome cuz he would give us something different. He is more of a linkup striker ala bergkamp, sherringham etc. He would give us another dimension.
like damian says, when rumours just keep on appearing it tends to have some truth in them. this is positive news but scary to think that the doyle one could be true. I think ashton will sign if west ham sign a replacement other than that no chance.
although ashton is a super player i find 15 million a bit steep considering his injury record. maybe wait till january and see if he is still fit.
Seems far too late to sign Ashton now. Although we can't be sure, I don't think from the signs so far that we'd made an official bid before today. Doubt very much we'd be able to turn it around that quickly.

its all quiet on the rumour front
Reply to AVFCBlog:
cheers mate fingers crossed
Berbatov on a plane to manchester,but which club is he going to?
Ha ha brilliant rumour on the BBC Live Text-In...
"My mate owns a burger van outside Old Trafford and he's just had to remind Dean Windass and his agent that he's not open till 11. You heard it here first!"
Ihope we do get him,
would much prefer him to Doyle!
Also Damian can you check your profile I posted somethig on your wall.
Cheers
Ashton would be a great signing, we need a clever player up front who can link plays and who can pass properly. Carew and Aggy cant play a good decisive ball between dem. Villa were terrible yesterday, reo-coker was by far our best player and did far more dan young did on the opposite wing!Couldnt beat d pool without der 2 best best players playing..Liverpool are failrly average without Gerrard and Torres. We need to improve big time!
west ham selling a defender 2 sunderland
Ashtons agood player but i dont like him. I have no idea why!
UTV
I'd quite like ashton, just like i said i'd like doyle!! Does anybody not think Ashton is too injury prone? It'd be like paying £15 million quid for ashton's own injury table!!!
Where are all the West Ham fans telling us how their players will never join a smalltime club like ours?
Curbs for England!
Technically can you sign a player without him having a medical? Or with a view to having a medical afterwards? If all you did was fax down the contract, is it possible to sign him without ever meeting him face-to-face?
I like Ashton but i feel he is to injury prone and i dont see a lot of difference between him and marlon? Do we really need to pay 15/16m for Ashton
WE SHOULD BE GOING FOR "Antonio Valencia"
Now that man will get us somewhere
WE SHOULD BE GOING FOR "Antonio Valencia"
Pay Wigan 15m
WE SHOULD BE GOING FOR "Antonio Valencia"
Forget about Ashton VILLA
can anyone tell me where it actually says anything about villa bidding for ashton? whether it be 12 or 15m? if its not on ssn its not true
Thankfully, to himself and to the Hammers fans due to their long injury list, he returned the following week and game against Manchester City.On September 1st 2008 he signed for Aston Villa for 14.5M and a 4 year deal.
just sen this on wikipedia, made me chuckle abit
Don't see a difference between Marlon and Ashton? Goldie, I think you need to lay off the drugs.
MON according to the Sunday Mercury, see newsnow, has just finished a lunch with the Wolves striker Blake. They ordered Scampi!!!
Oh Well
Reply to vivavilla86:
Yes as far as I know this is just an insurance policy for the clubs although when signing a player like Ashton I would have to advise against it.
Reply to Goldie7:
I'd love that, then there would be a Valencia playing for Villa and a Villa playing for Valencia
Has anybody else heard the rumour going around about Ebanks-Blake? Apparently in some Birmingham Restaurant with MON this lunchtime.
Anyone be dissapointed if Henrik Larrson came in? Would provide excellent cover, a new attacking option and could provide the younger players with a good role model. Feel there is more of a chance that he will join at the last minute than Ashton based on MON's previous last minute dealings.
I'm extremely dubious personally. If they're in the process of changing ownership then surely they can't make any transfers? I doubt very much that the club changed hands that quickly. Very strange things going on there.
Reply to vdave:
I'd be disappointed as well. A 37 year old is hardly the kind of player that's going to help us finish 4th, legend or not. He just won't have the legs to keep up with any Premiership defence. Fair enough if he's going to play backup, but neither us or him want that.
this could be an exciting day i just cant stop looking at ssn and news now hopefully somehing good will come out of it im praying for a den ashton here..... and yes i did hear about the ebanks blake rumour who knows eh all will be revealed soon
I heard the Ebanks-Blake rumour as well. Would take him over Doyle any day. Won the Championship Golden Boot last year with 23 goals, and has scored 2 in three this season. My Brother -in-Law is a Wolves fan (sorry about his luck) and they rate him pretty highly there. But could he cut it in the Prem?
Maybe MON should call Wenger and see if he still wants to offer us the 15 Million he reportably wanted to offer us for Gabby last year
top four finish.......
lets start acting like a top four club, the players being linked are not in that class..
not one signing yet that makes me feel exited.
ive been hanging on to damian's del la red all summer but knowing it wouldnt happen
Just seen on dean ashtons wikipedia page that hes signed for aston villa for 14.5m on a four year deal!not sure how true that is as nothings come up on sky sports news!so im not guna believe it until its on there!
Lucky, it also says "3 seasons later he went on to win the champions league with Villa." It's someone taking the piss. Anyone can update those things.
.....Thought I was the gullable one
Reply to lucky4:
Are you drinking? Been on that page.....nowhere does it say that he's signed for Villa
Check out Ashton's wikipedia page now - awesome!
Ashton would be really good but yesterday when i was watching villa vs liverpool the commentator mentioned something about him wanting to sign a creative midfielder before the deadline
I just saw James Beattie catching the train from Sheffied. He bought a ticket to Birmingham! My mate down the Jalsa Tandoori says he served Beatties mate the other night and was saying he will miss him when he's gon't Villa..!
Scampi and chips and a bit of Wolf on the side.....

Ha ha... this is quality:
On 1st September 2008 Ashton signed a four year contract for Aston Villa in a £14.5 million transfer. He was quoted as saying - "I'm so pleased to have my West Ham days behind me. Love the club, just can't stand the fans. Up the Villa".
Antonio Valencia would be a great signing but he's a starter, and i don't think Martin O'Neill waited 2 years and paid 12m pounds for Milner to put him on the bench.
A striker, a winger/playmaker(someone to link the mid-field and the strikers) and a defensive utility player is the minimum we need IMO.But i can't see us bringing in 3 players today.
That Ebanks Blake storey sounds like rubbish.I dont think MON has the time to be going for dinner with footballers on deadline day.
Watching SSN and seeing Villa's hopes of a top 6 finish slip away! As Man City are bidding £30mil for DB, Spurs are bringing in £13mil strikers, even the toon are spending while we are doing nowt! We'll be lucky to make top 10 at this rate. Did yesterdays game teach us nothing? We didn't look like scoring. If we were still playing now we'd be no closer to hitting the net! We have a few hours to bring in some quality. If is doesn't happen I fear it'll be a return to mid-table.
Pavlyuchenko 13.8m, Ashton 14.5?????......who ever made this up needs to get the price a bit closer next time.
Lauging my arse off at that entry on Wikpedia
"On 1st September 2008 Ashton signed a four year contract for Aston Villa in a £14.5 million transfer. He was quoted as saying - "I'm so pleased to have my West Ham days behind me. Love the club, just can't stand the fans. Up the Villa".
LOL
But everyone knows anyone can update wikipedia, that comment will be take off soon enough......
I watched the game online. David Pleat was saying how MON likes to buy Uk, english players because thats what he knows, and doesnt want to gamble on south american/foreign stars and some nonsense/crap about things in contracts.
I wouldn't be surprised that the reason for Gabby's lazinesss yesterday was a lack of concerntration... probably related to his "hatrick", which i see as hilarious: well in Gabby! But as a proffesional he should not let his personal life interfere with his job as an Aston Villa player.
Why is everyone so concerned about Spurs? High profile signings with no prem experience and will take time to settle.
At this stage anyone will be a good signing! anyone wondering if Bent is worth a punt?
I would like Ebanks-Blake, it's a bit unusual and a bit of a gamble, but MON likes a decent deadline day gamble (Salifou, Maloney)!!
ASHTON LATEST:
Bid accepted a couple of hours ago, but negotiations taking longer than expected.

Hope this is a wage issue and not that he's not interested in coming.

What's your source?
i havent heard anythin and ive been watching ssn all day and news now so i hope your right but im still unsure
On the 1st of september Westham accepted an offer of around 14.5million from Aston villa however negotians are still ongoing.

The above is quite true, Ashton signed at 17.10 will be revealed to the press at Bodymoor heath at 20.00 BST. The transfer is £12 million rising to 14.5 million with add ons.
all on wiki or was.
if u beliecve that wiki i question ur intelligence to be quite honest
i didnt say i believed it
how long have we got!
We need a striker no one has mentioned Mr Owen?
The silence from Villa Park is deafening! Whats going on? Spurs are spending big, so are Man City, even Blackburn have signed someone (from Northhampton Town) so whats MON up to? If he reveals some 2nd divsion swiss league no name donkey i'm gonna cry!
Ashton will be at home with his feet up eating cake laughing at this rubbish while Dover Athletic's reserve striker makes his way to Villa for talks.
it's on there alright,it's funny...
imagine he did say that! fcuking hell ther'd be murder...
i don't think we are anywhere near him sadly
Just read the Man Shity have put bids in for Villa & Gomez, as well as still hoping to sign Berbatov.
Not looking good for us if they are after players like Villa and we are looking at Doyle!!!
Can't we go spend big on someone like Villa
We have more chance of signing berbatov than ashton i think deadline day is going to be a no go for us this season
BORING!!!!!
OK NOW SPURS IN FOR DAVID VILLA AND MARIO GOMEZ HAS FOOTBALL GONE MAD!!!!
Forget these crappy player links and sign a world class striker like man city are obviously keen on doing.
Ashton and doyle. lets be honest we wouldnt really be happy with them its just theres no sign of any1 else coming in.
we already have 1 average striker in carew and 2 that are below required standard in gabby and harewood.
ha ha ha i must say i find the man city news rather laughable ha ha of they sign one of those players ill eat my sock
as for us id like to see us get a striker my preferred choice being dean ashton why not go for owen eh
Bad news!!!!
I'm on nights tonite
Is MON just a tight git with money. Leaving it to the last couple of weeks for our 8 signings probably saved about 6 weeks wages and about 250k per week, nearly 2m quid! Not bad!
Is MON leaving our striker till the last minute so WestSpam cant negotiate?
Will we sign anyone tonight or have we our lot till Jan? SSN reporting Barton in discussion with a team that finished in the top 10 last yr...Everton in despiration I bet
@ ghosthunter
Ur rite i have no idea wot i'm talking about!!!
GO GET OWEN......SIMPLE!?!?
Louis Saha has just given an interview at Everton FC
"I've joined Everton as I decided I needed a change of Hospital"!
ha ha class!
If you look at the facts man city have actually signed no one as yetand i agree cleverandvillian1 owen is defo worth a punt
The problem we have is that o'Neil never talks about players he wants to sign so we're always guessing and gettin uptight about it all.....It is the way it should be done though after all!
lucas neil, ashton , doyle and lulinha/kerlon my make me slightly happy
The problem we have is that o'Neil never talks about players he wants to sign so we're always guessing and gettin uptight about it all.....It is the way it should be done though after all!
YES... Another bid has gone in for De La Red!! The first bid from the other week was turned down.
A second bid was made early last week and Villa were told that a decision would be made today depending on other transfers.
No idea who Madrid are waiting to bring in to replace him, but sounds like this one might have life in it yet.

Just checking the the quality of brand new cars!!! So watch those brakes(not mentioning the brand lol)
Aston Villa are one of TWO top ten clubs that have moved to sign disgraced Newcastle midfielder Joey Barton.
Villa and and another as yet unnamed club have moved to take the 25-year-old player, who faces a 12-month FA ban at a hearing on Friday for his part in an assault on ex-Manchester City team-mate Ousmane Dabo.
Villa boss Martin O'Neill is believed to see Barton as a long-tewrm replacement for Gareth Barry whose agent confirmed recently that the England star remains a Villa player "for now".
PLEASE CHRIST NO

Are Pi and ManofPi the same people by any chance? Where are you getting all this inside info from?
For those of you that remember the the summer window on this blog last year - i was right on the two occasions i wrote then... Hokey-Cokey and Davies - both the day before they were done.
I know there's a lot flying around today - but all i can say is trust me and we'll find out later or tomorrow if we were successful. I repeat... Although not by any means done deals, both Ashton and De La Red are still live.
UTV
surely o'neil wouldnt buy in a thug like Barton?!?
Carew would show him whos boss in training though, after all, John Carew, Carew, is bigger than me and you......
please please stop making up rumours just wait till midnight and all will be revealed im so fed up of this speculation and gossip to be honest i cant see us getting in anyone at this stage well no big name anyway i hope im wrong mind but its not looking good
anyway lets hope

Nicky Butt signs for Arsenal - never saw that one coming!
Just got up off the floor - Mirror says Villa looking to buy Barton from Newcastle - Jesus where do these paper pr*ks get there tips from. It took MON 2 years to get rig of all the trouble makers at Villa so why would he buy one - Whose a crap player and only fit for the City of Liverpool!
Did no one tell him they don't play Arsenal this season! He only signed to go in hard in Arsene's young lads!
your jokin?? Butt isn't Arsenal class whatsoever!!
And some Villa fans think O'neil often ends up panic buying?!?
Perhaps the thinking is he'll link up well with Silvestre from his Utd days. Great window for Arsenal this one!

Does anyone know if he can play up front or is he more of a link up player?

Really hope not!
You Guys might think im mad but i would'nt mind Heskey at the Villa, am i the only one.besides if anyone got the best out of him it was MON and he is great competition and back up to big John. I would like someone else aswell though, preferably Owen.
Collymore has just said on talksport that we are after Heskey and if it doesnt come off, then a striker on loan. Anyone as cover for me.
ssn just confirmed we are in for heskey
Good news ! Apparently Barton is on the verge of signing for Portsmouth.
Dream partnership...Heskey and Harewood... (head in hands)....... goals galore
