very true. i rate ashton extremely highly and you are spot on when you say that ashton-rooney should be england's strike force. i remember watching ashton at crewe but especially at norwich where i thought he was the dogs bollocks. can lead the line extremely well, has all the attributes to be a goal poacher but also has very decent touch and a sharp eye for the short pass to create space and bring in runners from wide or midfield. i thought fergie would go for him at norwich and im not surprised if we go in for him now.
who knows, maybe after the foreign legion coming in last summer, this summer we're planning on staying domestic and going for richards and ashton. has to lose the bleach look though, ashton that is. he also looked like he could lose a couple pounds on saturday but a fresh summer should see him coming back to peak fitness and sharpness.
