Arsene Wenger on Dean Ashton's retirement

[pommyadam]

Dean Ashton - best English striker in the premiership

[impressionsbysimon]

Arsene Wenger tried to sign Ashton when he was at Crewe but Crewe were asking for too much money

[PatrikMerovuo]

Fail

[hubcaphubcap]

He makes a fair point, international teams seem to think they call the shots.

[warriors4returns4u]

dean was a good player and will be rembered/.

[TheBrandon7055]

fire wenger

[conormcgihon1]

long ball team, fuk off

[FaintestFusion]

club vs country is a hard debate. we're lost van persie to injury for the rest of the season when he was in top form and our leading scorer, keeping us firmly in the title race. however, it is his right to play for his country and there is nothing wrong with it. however, the clubs need to be somehow compenstated when this happens

[PopolVuh2]

Arsene Wenger ftw

[theoisme]

was maybe another year off being on top of his game, but I can't think of a more complete english striker, he has the height, pace, skill and goalscoring touch...surely would have been a cert for the world cup

[2OneRed]

I think it was all wright-phillips plan to get rid of One of englands best strikers he would have defo gone to the 2010 wc if he didnt sustain that injury

You Bastard SWP lol

[aghahowa11]

SWP had to injury him to go to 2010, it was for a greater good

[2OneRed]

[mikelockhart3]

[aghahowa11]

@mikelockhart3 aghahowa was a great player ok and dean ashton was a fat bloke

[mikelockhart3]
