Deano for England!
Skysports has reported that Dean Ashton is going to be one of a 4 party strike force called up for England to face European Champions Greece. He will join Rooney, Crouch and Defoe in the squad as McClaren attempts to stamp his authority on a new regime for the 3 lions. Hopefully this will be the first of many hammers call ups this season.

It is good news. I must say I was one of those not sure about the Ashton move and the money paid, but I've certainly eaten my words since his arrival. Would be devastated if he left (yeah piss off Newcastle!}. It was a master stroke by the manager that's for sure.
On the subject of England, am I the only one who thinks that Harewood should also be considered? I mean he's quick, strong, committed and can score a goal but I never heard his name mentioned once during the lead up to the World Cup or since?
Personally I think he would have frightened the life out of some of those teams if he was given the chance.

I agree. The thought of a full season of Marlon and Ashton up front together is quite mouth watering. Anyway we'll keep Marlon our little secret then the big clubs will stay away. ;-)
