Re: Harrison Ashby.
It seems his head was turned in the summer and probably why Moyes has not used him much. Getting a fee and a sell on clause is a decent piece of business. Who knows if he is going to make it but he looked okay in the few times he has had opportunity. It was generally against weaker opposition.
Time will tell..

Not much we could do unfortunately.
[/quote We could have given him more games to see if it was worth negotiating, the issue, whatever he says about young players, is that Moyes onlynpickd them against lesser opposiion or when despatate.

Re: Harrison Ashby.
But that is the catch 22. If he has indicated he won't sign a contract then do you waste minutes on him to try and change his mind knowing that will probably benefit a competitor? How does Johnson and Coufal feel about that?ironside58 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 01, 2023 3:54 pmWe could have given him more games to see if it was worth negotiating, the issue, whatever he says about young players, is that Moyes only picked them against lesser opposiion or when despatate.
The worry for me is the inclination of quite a few to blame the manager based on not very much when his track record on this stuff is very good.
There were some willing to lynch him over the Diangana sale. I'm sure they appreciate the irony that Benrahma has now become the poster child for anti-Moyes sentiment when they were so against signing him rather than keeping Diangana!

Re: Harrison Ashby.
He's too old to be a youth player anyway, they have to register him. So he'll compete with Manquillo and Krafth for 1. 2. and 3. back up to Trippierwoodywoody wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 11:03 pm Apparently Howe has said he is a 1st team player and not a youth and will be back up to Trippier. So apart from more money a manager that believes in him and can you blame him on that note. Some of our so called kids are 20 plus and after playing ok in European games etc and still dont get further chances then not many youngsters will come through.

He isn't a kid and it's a senior contract. Would certainly have more substance to our discussions as nobody knows really.
Perkins is different being a couple of years younger.
The number of games we have played since Nov 2021 (I think around when he started vs Spurs) and the performance levels we have seen from fullbacks in that time, i think we missed an opportunity to see what he can do.
Again, i still say you can't really bring through 2 young players in the same position and we will possibly loose both!
My hope is Kehrer will be our RB once he finds form.

Re: Harrison Ashby.
TBH he is 21 and we should have known a year ago whether he was worth investing game time and money in.

Re: Harrison Ashby.
I think we did, we were willing to invest. He'd already had his head turned, we chose not to try and compete. We move on.El brooko79 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 01, 2023 5:04 pm TBH he is 21 and we should have known a year ago whether he was worth investing game time and money in.

Re: Harrison Ashby.
I look at it the other way which is the opportunity was there and he still didn't play. That is either Moyes' caution or the lad wasn't showing it in training. I don't think Moyes would ignore a youngster just because they were a youngster so would bet on the latter. We'll probably never know.El brooko79 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 01, 2023 5:04 pm

Re: Harrison Ashby.
How is this an issue?
If he was good enough he'd have played like Rice and Johnson.
Have a look throughout the league, which clubs are giving teenagers token minutes? It's not happening.

Just because Moyes doesn't play someone doesn't mean they are not good enough.

Re: Harrison Ashby.
If he and his dad/agent had made it clear they were off no matter what then I'm not surprised he wasn't played.

Re: Harrison Ashby.
I just keep seeing that our youngsters 'arent getting a chance' and it's Moyes' fault.El brooko79 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 01, 2023 7:00 pm Because some supporters think we have issues at fullback and he might have been an option.

Hardly any teenagers come out of academies and play these days. It's not an exclusively West Ham problem.

But he hasn't played so why are where we offering him a contract. He is 21, he isnt a teenager. Feels like he should have played more senior football by now.

Re: Harrison Ashby.
And there is a balance here because you can't play youngsters because they are not ready and you can't be ready without playing.Bubbles Fortuna wrote: ↑Wed Feb 01, 2023 7:22 pm I just keep seeing that our youngsters 'arent getting a chance' and it's Moyes' fault.

Re: Harrison Ashby.
It appears the club thought him worthy of potentially taking a fullback spot, as they offered him a contract which he subsequently refused.El brooko79 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 01, 2023 7:00 pm Because some supporters think we have issues at fullback and he might have been an option.

The contract refusal is where the manager and player would have hit a crossroads I reckon, and probably rightly so on Moyes' side, if you don't want to commit then you don't play, if you want away, you don't play.
Ashby was clearly rated, but he didn't want to be here. Simple as that really.
Shame.
