I like the 'The only thing he ever did was score goals' argument

how I've wished for such a player all season. He creates his own chances by getting in the right positions. He would have 20 goals + if he played for us this season...my evidence is that he always manages it at this level.

        Playing for the strongest team as well, against plenty of very weak ones. (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Mar 18, 19:14:17
        
        He was still a better player than Earnshaw imo (NCFC) - pants, Mar 18, 19:17:53
        
        You mean attacking midfielder Brian Laudrup? (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, Mar 18, 22:36:57
        
        very stupid argument (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Mar 18, 19:12:59
        
        not really cos Charles says he 'wasn't the player he used to be' (NCFC) - Brandonio, Mar 18, 19:00:34
        
        Yet he disagreed that he was a better player than Earnshaw despite (NCFC) - pants, Mar 18, 19:01:31
        
        you said he was better than Earnie (NCFC) - Charles21, Mar 18, 19:03:51
        
        because he wasn't used properly (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Mar 18, 19:05:08
        
        I'm saying nothing.. (NCFC) - snowman, Mar 18, 19:03:29
        
        Earnie's better no doubt - look at their stats in English football (NCFC) - Brandonio, Mar 18, 19:03:11
        
        sort of agree from what I remember (n/m) (NCFC) - Brandonio, Mar 18, 18:56:40
      - I like the 'The only thing he ever did was score goals' argument (NCFC) - Brandonio, Mar 18, 18:44:01
        
        If he's so well thought of though, why has he not been in a successful team (NCFC) - pants, Mar 18, 18:46:19
        
        as he's been sitting on the bench of a Premiership team (NCFC) - Charles21, Mar 18, 18:47:14
        
        Why did Dean Ashton fail at Crewe and Norwich in this division then? (n/m) (NCFC) - Brandonio, Mar 18, 18:47:09
        
        He was always injured with us, despite what people want to believe (NCFC) - pants, Mar 18, 18:51:49
        
        and I dunno why Cardiff finished 13th - I'm not a Cardiff fan (NCFC) - Brandonio, Mar 18, 18:55:34
        
        that doesn't answer the question (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, Mar 18, 18:55:28
        
        that's why he will always be a failure then (n/m) (NCFC) - Brandonio, Mar 18, 18:53:58
        
        good question (NCFC) - Charles21, Mar 18, 18:50:37
