Is Ashdown any good?

[Modest Mouse]

Well is he? :waaaht:

[Robsondinho]

Well is he? :waaaht:

Yes

[sirpiechucker]

In the last 6 seasons (including the present one) he has played 35 matches. That is very little first team experience for a keeper at the age of 29.

Nobody honestly can say how good he is unless they watch Pompey reserves. Hart didn't even pick him when at Portsmouth so why sign him now?

[EYR]

Bit old but might do a job.

[Morris]

No

On a free, you can not complain

[Morris]

On a free, you can not complain

Doubt he will be free, he's under contract and Pompey need £££s like you wouldn't believe.

Unless they just want him off the wage bill, but I doubt it.

[Youvebeenrangered]

He'll number 2 anyway.

[andysintonshead]

Pompey are skint, it will be about 75k.

it may be due to the fact that he had the current england no1 to pick first!!!

So when they lost 1-0 to Man City and James was injured why did Hart pick Begovic and not Ashdown? Ashdown was on the bench but why not start him?

Because hes poor.

Because hes poor.

based on what?

[ollyhoops]

he is only a back up keeper for Cerny.

based on what?

Based on the many games I have seen him play for Portsmouth.
