Danny Ward

[BakerLCFC]

Not sure if there is a page for Danny Ward but looks like Wolves want him, apparently.

 

Rui Patricio looks to be going Roma.

Hmmmm. Iverson or Jakupovic as back up for the season? Ward's stock will never be this high.

[Scotch]

These links were always going to happen after his performances at the Euros.

[goose2010]

Well arsenal sold villa their back up keeper for about 20m didn't they?

Would say the same to Wolves. 

 

Ward is also younger and having a blinding Euros so would push for 25+

 

Personally I wouldn't sell him but I think he may push for a move this summer. 

[AshbyBlue]

Got to be worth £20million if we decide to sell.

[moore_94]

Pretty sure they are signing Jose Sa from Olympiakos (Mendes deal of course) and he would be 1st choice for them

 

Just a lazy link to a team that would need a keeper (if they didn’t already have one lined up) after his Euros so far
 

IF we do sell though we need to get another backup keeper

 

Jakupovic is probably only good enough for 3rd choice and Iversen needs to be back out on loan playing every week

Couldn't blame him really, especially if an established PL team are keen. 

 

That said, I  certainly don't want him to leave as he's our best back up keeper since Arphexad in my opinion (unless I've forgotten someone very obvious).

[Hollyfox]

Wouldn't blame him if he wanted the move as he'll have to wait quite a while to shift Kasper. 

Seems a really good bloke and having a great tournament, so far. 

We'll get a good price for him, so it would make sense if we've got decent cover or someone else in mind

[rachhere]

In a way I would be disappointed in him if he didn't want a move. His performance for Wales has shown he should be playing more regularly than he is. 

[Heymister2015]

Deffo sell! Spent way to much for a 2nd choice keeper. Chance to make our money 

[lgfualol]

Would do well for any midtable Prem team.

If they want him for less than £25 million they would need him to hand in a transfer request. He qualifies as home grown and we paid £12 million, he’s improved since being here, he’s proven it with displays in a major tournament and he’s still young at 27 for a keeper. 

[KFS]

Any opportunity to make back that crazy high fee should be taken.

Liverpool get 20% sell on clause

i was amazed to see that . I thought the fee we paid them was ridiculous without even knowing about sell ons. We should avoid Liverpool - let them carry on selling their surplus players and flops to the likes of Southampton and Bournemouth 

[Pick Good Name Later]

Kasper is now 34 (35 this year) - Understand the argument keepers have additional longevity in their careers and all. However, at some point soon there is a reasonable argument that some of his strengths and key attributes that make him an extremely good keeper will start to decline.

 

Whilst I don't believe Danny Ward to be the answer long term to the number 1 spot, letting him at this stage wouldn't make too much sense. Yes, his stock his high. Yes, he's having a strong Euros. However outside of probably Utd (with Henderson and De Gea) I couldn't think of a stronger No 2 in the league currently. Why when we're making all efforts to create a stronger squad, would we sell? We're working to be competitive on 4 fronts season in season out, you don't do this with a sub standard No 2.

Did we? If Kasper had broken his arm last season, I'd have been safe in the knowledge we had someone good enough to come straight in and cover (look how well he is playing with no match sharpness)

 

Can't say i'd say the same if we had spent a £1m on a 38 year old like some teams do. Or relied on a youngster.

[Grebfromgrebland]

We need to keep him. He's proven his worth over the years with his cup performances and we'd only have to replace him if we sold him.

Is Leno off then?

£12m we paid! Stupid amount of money! Not even Man City pay that for a back up keeper 

[Dan]

I was thinking there's a decent chance he leaves us now. He's a good keeper, better than I thought he was, but he's just simply not going to get chances and he does probably deserve them now.

 

Might be a good time to cash in.

you have got to be off your rocker if you think we are getting 25 million for ward.

 

I rate him, and he’s done well in 3 games at the euros, but he’s never played a prem game for us.

[coolhandfox]

If we could turn a profit, I would.

 

[EastAnglianFox]

He deserves to be playing week in week out for somebody and anything between 8-10 mill I'd take, not much of a loss and frees up much needed funds for more important positions.
