However when he signed for us it came with the option for us to sign perm. Doubt that will happen to be honest. Unless the Swansea lad fancies signing, I'd like to see him here permanently. Even then, he seems measured, composed and a more solid defender than the others. Quote

Ogbeta is a freebie at the end of the season and the noise he’s been making about loving it here, Manchester lad etc etc that seems a no brainer to me. Chuck Williams then Iredale in then chances for Ashworth look slim Quote
Members Lt. Aldo Raine Posted April 12, 2024 Members Posted April 12, 2024 I like Ashworth and would want us to sign him permanently even if it means we move Williams on, but you have to wonder whether he'd want to sign for us given his lack of game time Quote
Moderators Casino Posted April 12, 2024 Moderators Posted April 12, 2024 What we (can) do will be dependent on the division we are in Quote
R5dean Posted April 12, 2024 Posted April 12, 2024 I think Ashworth has looked decent when he's been given the chance, definitely worth signing him as back up for next year and he's only 21 so could grow in to a decent player. As for Ogbeta, sign him up , don't let him leave the building until he's got a contract. Quote
Whitesince63 Posted April 12, 2024 Posted April 12, 2024 I’m clearly missing something with Ashworth who for me doesn’t look a patch on Forrester down the right. Maybe at 21 he’s got chance to improve but if we go up I’d personally be looking for much better. Quote

Ashworth has good quality, especially on the ball, not necessarily a top quality defender but which of our LWBs are, they rarely get tested on the wings in this league. Championship football a different kettle of fish so pointless speculating about next season's recruits or retained list etc till we know our fate. Quote

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted May 11, 2024 Site Supporter Posted May 11, 2024 As a free transfer, perhaps he isn't that much of a risk. As said before, we have a couple of players released by championship clubs, and others who've not played there before. We just have to trust the coaching staff. Quote

Yeah from Bolton and not a white. No ta. Clearly we will have 2 sets of transfer targets and I’m glad we are moving quick. Let’s hope it’s the championship list. If not still right to make moves Quote
Dr. Feelgood Posted May 11, 2024 Posted May 11, 2024 I'd like Ashworth, if he doesn’t feel messed about by us Caleb too, another year's loan maybe. Ogbeta, who's available and Maghoma. Obviously Johnson is due back, fit & firing & in a mood to stay. If we go up we need at least one striker. Vic's all well & good but hardly a World beater. Dan, loan, sell or a permanent reserve. If we're promoted we need more proven, quality, players. The infamous 'hard man in midfield' eludes us. I'm also concerned that in tje Chamioship Santos may be challenged more. Quote

Vic is decent League 1, but that’s his level. We should command a fee for him but, maybe, not what we paid. Jerome will be another year older and has to be looking at a switch to coaching. Dan: we just need to get rid! Edited May 11, 2024 by Rival Son Quote
London Wanderer Posted May 11, 2024 Posted May 11, 2024 We deciding our championship squad already… calm down lads Quote
Rival Son Posted May 11, 2024 Posted May 11, 2024 To be honest, with the possible exception of Vic, that applies to next season, whichever league we’re in. Quote

None of the other 3 are good enough if we go up but maybe if we stay down they’re worth another loan. Quote
gonzo Posted May 11, 2024 Posted May 11, 2024 What the hell can anyone see in Ashworth? I can't even remember what he looks like. Quote
