Stephen Ward [Summer 2015 edition]

[Sheebo]

If he was any good wouldnt Eddie Howe try to get him back rather than waste money on Berbatov, as is being speculated.

Where's the Berbatov to Bmouth rumour from - not heard that one..?

 

[fat old seagull]

maybe, but even if he had a broken leg and his head hanging off he would score more than all of the forward line we had last season

The bit about his head hanging off, leads me to doubt he'd manage the four goals to achieve that!

Might need a £500k bid for Burnley to consider letting him go. We should be able to compete on wages as I understand many Burnley players have relegation clauses in their contracts so they'll no longer be on mega money.

I can't believe we would touch Ward after the way his transfer to Burnley concluded...(even though we should have sealed it earlier).
Move on..more than happy to give Chicksen his chance than another loanee.

Isn't Chicksen awful though?

WHY?

 

[Gullflyinghigh]

Has he produced those moments lately as he didnt at Fulham very often. With Vokes you will get 100% commitment and effort and some goals which is very much the Howe way.

There are at least two (I'm not going to trawl youtube to see if there are more) that I can think of off the top of my head that he scored for Monaco. One of them was a frankly ludicrous chip that was so insanely relaxed that you'd believe it a mistake for most players...definitely wasn't though!

Have we really seen enough of him to come to that conclusion though? I'm not saying his performances have been good just that he's played a handful of games since joining the club so hardly a fair platform to judge him on. He can't be worse than Bennett at any rate.

Well done for ruining it

Yes. Yes, he really can.

I don't think we can blame him. It was our fault as much as anything for, as you say, not sorting it out earlier.

Is he Bens Grandad?

if he was i think we could safely say it wasn't going to happen.....ever.

Is he reliable, or a 'funny' goon ?

He used to be pretty good but in this case he's just RT'd the HITC story

Good to know. I'll start following him then.

Pete o'Rourke is usually on the money. Here's hoping...

 

[Codner pharmaceuticals]

Would love this to be true but given we have changed the manager and the entire player recruitment team since Ward played for us, it seems unlikely. Unless they have independently identified him as a top target or Nathan has insisted on bringing him back.
