Re: Andy Carroll
Think Ashton could've been great for us but statistics can be viewed in different ways.jaybs wrote: Only that DEAN ASHTON scored 33 goals in just THREE YEARS! and never looked clumsy at 6ft 2" it took Carroll 6 YEARS! to score the same.
Ashton scored 15 goals in 46 prem games for us - 0.33 goals a game
Carroll scored 33 goals in 114 prem games for us - 0.29 goals a game
Not a massive difference in goals to games and a lot of carrolls games came from the bench, can't remember if Ashton started most of his games or not.
Also found assist stats stating that Carroll has assisted 24 in his games and Ashton assisted none, sure that can't be right though.

Re: Andy Carroll
Pretty sure Ashton set up Sears for his goal against Blackburn?
I know he headed in his own rebound but even so....

Re: Andy Carroll
Can't wait to see the back of him. Anyone hazard a guess how much we have wasted in transfer fee and wages on him over the years? Must be a ridiculous number for someone that has been injured for the large portion of his time here.

Re: Andy Carroll
IF he is offered any sort of extension on his contract, it should be on a pay-as-you-play basis. Maybe that would buck his ideas up.If he refuses it, would we miss him?hammerman11 wrote:ashton was fine until his England call up and then in a few years he was finished. carroll just goes on and on screwing the club for 90k a week and a few appearances a season. if we give him any contract I despair as we need him out of the club asap.

My post was a little ambiguous...Ashton back heeled? to Sears whose shot was parried and Sears followed up and headed in (I think)

Re: Andy Carroll
I don’t see how they are compareable, Ashton suffered a career ending injury that was very unfortunate. Carroll goes from one injury to another whilst seeming to care more about his next holiday than actually getting back fit.Georgee Paris wrote:Funny how so many are quite happy to have such anger, bile and resentment towards Carroll and yet Dean Ashton is seen as a West Ham great. Are they not comparable?
Dean Ashton retiring is quite a sad story, Carroll’s injury record is at least partly due to his own lack of professionalism.
There are similarities in that both are vastly overrated by some on here, but for me Ashton was a far better footballer than Carroll, in terms of creativity and class.

One minute people are complaining about the state of our world class training facilities the next bemoaning an injury plagued player in an injury plagued team.

Re: Andy Carroll
I've tried giving him the benefit of the doubt but no going to bother any more. He's just a sponging waster and the sooner he gets his last thoroughly undeserved pay check from West Ham the better.

Re: Andy Carroll
I hope he stays in the sickroom until his contract expires. Every time he runs out onto the pitch i get a very real, gut wrenching feeling he is going to smash some poor kids face in with his elbows.
