Stephen Ward

Think I would rather someone who had helped his team to successive promotions.

...then they wouldn't be coming to us on loan! Hopefully this means any money we do have is going on an attacking midfielder

I thought that Stephen Ward was a doctor who was involved with Mandy Rice Davies, now showing my age.

 

[Baron Pepperpot]

Do you really think that Oscar isn't involved at all when players match the ability and profile the club is looking for and we do our best to sign them up ?

But I doubt whether Oscar would know him from Adam. He's relying on others. I would like to know how these decisions are made.

Good point

I thought that Stephen Ward was a doctor who was involved with Mandy Rice Davies, now showing my age, during the Christine Keeler John Profumo happenings

We should've taken Shorey !

Burke identifies targets shows them to Oscar he says yes or no and then Burke does the deal or not

Watched him quite a lot for Ireland. Good going forward. Can play left wing as well, pretty sure I have seen him used up front in a friendly.

Good signing IMO although internationally at least seems to be on a bit of a downward spiral.

A good player who has had a nightmare couple of seasons. Lets hope a fresh start can do him the world of good and he can recapture his form of 3 or 4 years ago.

Certainly better than what we have and shouldn't hugely eat into the budget. I would be pleased enough, even without his Iberianity.

How many more times......who says we didn't offer him a deal.

You and me both....Profumo affair...ah! the great 60s...

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

Good player who always gives 100%, though judging from the Wolves fans - he wasnt fantastic at LB for them, although we do play differently.

Experience would be good for us too - good signing.

 

[Puppet Master]

Woeful at LB according to the Wolves fans on that site...

Recommendations , scouting reports , matchday video and game highlights , individual match stats and performance analysis. It wouldn't surprise me if a few NSCers form an instant opinion by how a footballer performs in virtual reality on FIFA13 or Football Manager.

you seem to either know or to assume that OG wants it otherwise

 

[AZ Gull]

Didn't he used to be with the Albion in the 1970s, and no relation to Peter Ward?

Indeed he did, Mr Rapper. Led the club in Midweek League Appearances in 1976-77.

 

[moggy]

The wolves fans don't seem to rate him as a LB but say he's ok going forward.

Personally, I just can't see this team challenging for promotion this year.
