Im not falling back on it. My argument comes in three parts.
1. Ashton is more talented. Manucho looks very good of what Ive seen for Angola, although has struggled at Pansomethingikea. Ashton just looks better. Looks better with the ball at his feet. Better movement off it. Looks a little more aggresive in nature.
2. Ashton is used to the roughness and pace of the PL. Thats not writing off Manucho, its just fact. Ashton can definately hack it, and I would be alot more confident with him on the bench.
3. For a BACKUP player, you want someone who can step in immediately and do a job, e.g. O'Shea and Fletcher. For that, you want someone proven. You want someone who wont need TIME to adjust, because if they only get the odd game here and there then one thing they dont have is time.
So far youve responded to only one of these points
