Bring Dean on

JUST seen this short line in The Guardian's match report for the game against Birmingham:

"A sensational goal," said Pearce, who revealed afterwards that City had made a substantial bid for a player last week, thought to be Norwich's Dean Ashton.

I was saying to friends that the first player we should have bought after selling SWP was 21-year-old Ashton, I just hope we are not too late.
