Goodbye Ash on 12:39 - Aug 9 by tomdickharry | Michael Keane from Burnley would be a choice from left field,fine young centre back who Burnley have already turned down bids. |

Goodbye Ash on 13:08 - Aug 9 with 2670 views | JackUlation | Great servant, but there were lots of comments around the ground when Ash was rested prior to the euros, lots of people saying the team looked happy and played like free birds during his absence.

I for one will treat him like any other opposition player, till the game is over then if comes over to the east I shall applaud him, but there should not in my opinion be any attempt to make him welcome before or during the game. Same goes for AA at WHU. They are now the opposition and should be treated as such. | ![](/images/avatars/8703.gif) |

It's got nothing to do with modern football. He's still the captain of our country, and a national hero after the summer so you'd expect him and all of the Welsh lads not associated with Cardiff to get a good reception but he's given everything for us in the last eight years, only missing something like seven leagues in that time which is remarkable. He's played such a huge part for us in getting to the Premier League, establishing ourselves at this level and so many great days in the last few years including captaining us to winning our first major trophy. Of course he's going to get a good reception down here and it's got nothing to do with modern football, the word legend gets overused but he certainly is a club legend. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

Crazy money but that's the world we live in,who would have thought we would get £12M or so for Williams,and don't think Burnley will get that kind of fee for Clarke. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Normally I would agree but Ash is a club legend FFS. I will be applauding him. He has earned it. He gave us his best years, achieved lots, and gave us a bumper pay day right at the end. Good luck to him. | ![](/images/avatars/18321.gif) |

Goodbye Ash on 14:12 - Aug 9 with 2067 views | Kerouac | 1) I would be looking at signing someone who can play anchor man in midfield and centre-half. I would consider this player the emergency 4th centre-half and run with 2 from Amat, Fede and van der Hoorn, with the other on the bench. So primarily he should be the dogs bollocks at anchor man. If that bloke from Anderlecht fits the bill, great. 2) I would be looking at loaning a youngster like Chambers who can cover full-back and centre-half....and I would be looking at paying only a fraction of his wages (as it would be us doing them and the player a favour) If we do these 2 things and secure Baston + someone like Chadli/Ziyech our squad will be looking stronger than I would have expected it to look. So... Out Eder - £5m Gomis - £ years wages (approx. £3.5m) Bartley - £ years wages (approx. £750k Paloschi - £6.5m Ash - £12m Ayew - £20.5m Total = £48m approximately In Fer - £2.5m Llorente - £5m Baston - £15m van der Hoorn - £2m Aussie Keeper - £Free Chadli/Ziyech - £12m approx. Anchor man who covers centre-back - £8m approx. Chambers or similar on loan - £300k tops Total = £45m approx. Leaves us £2.5m quid or so UP with a revamped squad and cover everywhere. C'mon Huw, you know it makes sense. [Post edited 9 Aug 2016 14:52]
