Maybe its AV who have FFP challenges which Ashton is aware of, and maybe at the moment AV want too much of the £20m up front. Maybe Ashton is playing a game, aware AV need the Philogene-Bidace deal complete before they can buy another player. Ashton playing a blinder deliberately delaying it, to force AV to accept the deal he wants in upfront money. Alternatively. Maybe Philogene-Bidace is thinking feck it, I prefer Everton now with Moyes as manager. |  |
