His ratio stands up, and I really rate the guy (when not injured!), but I think it's fair to say that's a rather deceptive stat due to him playing a decent proportion of his football at a lower level.

True about the lower standard but his game wasnt as much goalscorer like Defoe who isnt a kick in the arse off Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 It's not a comparison though because the players you've listed have always been at the top level, unless Defoe's includes the ones he got for Bournemouth. It would be like comparing Rob Earnshaw with Michael Owen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thespence Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Poor attempt at ruining a thread mind Have word man. You know what you posted was poor get over it. As for Ashton I am sure WHU will be glad to have striker who has played so few games off there books. Be interesting to see how this pans out insurance wise because he has played in some games since that well known clogger SWP done him. It is going to get messy for WHU, Ashton, SWP,The FA & one paper mentioned Chelsea as SWP was playing for them at the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
