Northampton wing Chris Ashton open to Saracens move I don't want to rush into it. I still love this club and I'm not saying I don't want to be here. Saints head coach Jim Mallinder said he wanted Ashton to stay but was already considering his options for replacing the England flyer. Obviously we're looking at other options. I'd love him to stay, but I've said it before: you only want players who want to play for you. If he wants to go elsewhere then no problem. He's very determined and wanted to play. He came to see me and we had a good chat about it. He's been disappointed in his rugby this year and he wants to start playing well. We've coped quite well without him recently, and if Chris decides he wants to go then we'll cope without him.
