"I felt myself that his form last season was every bit as good as in the previous year.[LNB]"Not everybody agreed with that but I thought Ashley was different class.[LNB]"Our job, first and foremost, is to keep the players. If that is the case then that is great.[LNB]"If that is not the case then obviously we have to get that valuation that we put on players and get as close to it as possible."
