He is awesome.
He is very special type of striker which does not run too much, can be hidden for long periods and then scores from nothing.
With him in squad you can always expect goals.
I believe he stays and I believe he stays fit.
Then we can realy look forward to the next season.
Ashton / Bellamy is what we all want to see.

Then if it’s the money then we should fight to keep him, and dont agree,we are not a feeder club anymore. If it’s going to stay that way with the top 4 then they might aswell have their own league, because whats the point of this league if we have to put up with all this and the monotony

The guy’s pure class. Any knuckle scrapers who think otherwise should club together and buy another brain cell to share.

Money talks bulls–t walks,sorry guys get real, soon as any player becomes a threat to the big so called 4,they just come straight in with a good offer!! yes i know is a bitch and i hate them when they do it……rooney shows class man utd come stright in,saha 20 goals for fulham in they come again,berbatov looks good,.just gutted house near loughton,wright philips looks quick chelsea straight in with big offer,it just goes on and on theres no loyalty no more, we should all realise we are all feeder clubs for the top 4,I will never suck up to any player to me its all about that badge and where I was bought up as a kid,if no player is cutting it or shows no effort or wants to go…Ship ‘em out!!!!!!!chris claret (not the new imposter)

This is unbelievable,so in may peoples minds we are still a feeder club. If this is the case then sod it we’ll never be able to keep any player of his quality and we might aswell resign ourselves to still being a stepping stone for players. Ashton has stated today that he is flattered to be linked to the mancs, but he wants to hear from west ham about his future,and he is keen to stay at our club. I don’t care what the so called big four think or the media with their usual half baked rumours, if we don’t keep him then it shows our clubs owners have no ambition, and if this sort of thing keeps happening then the premiership will be dull and predictable for years to come with no other teams trying to go forward being able to break into the top four, because everytime a quality player is at a club the “top four” try and lure them to their club.

Don’t forget that after the deals done last year with new players like Neill and Ljungberg coming in at inflated salaries, Deano is not one of the club’s higher earners and was denied a payrise earlier in the season around the time the Egg left.

I reckon if he doesn’t get a new wage deal early in the season break, he’ll be off like lightning.

I fully expect Ashton to go to Manchester United in the summer. He was a fan of the club when he was a boy. The only problem for Ashton is whether Ferguson is willing to take a gamble on his fitness. He is still upset about what happened to Saha. Given Curbishley’s record, he will probably take Saha in part-exchange.

Deano has come good in recent weeks, but I don’t think it’s coincidence that he upped the ante when the club put contract talks on hold for him to prove his fitness. At the point they did that he was overweight and not working hard enough in games, by some margin – that’s why the crowd (including me) got on his back. Like any Hammers fan I’ll put up with the bad times so long as the players are busting their nuts for us, and he wasn’t for a period. He wasn’t running free (and I still question that) and not grafting. He’ll deny it, and many of you may not agree with me, but he was well below par for a period and is now reaping the benefit of the work he’s put in the past few months. Fair play to him, you have to respect that, and the England call is his just reward. Now he needs to stay fit, the club needs to extend his deal and we can crack on. Oh, and his choice of strike partner is Freddie Sears, for the record…
