Proof positive players improve when they don't play.

That's a great topic. 

 

Players who were crapper than Danny Ward. 

 

I'll start .............. er 

 

Tom English? (I may be being harsh on Tom - I was young but he looked completely sh@te to me) 

He was no Jimmy Melrose that’s for sure.

Genuinely going to be hard pressed to think of a crapper player than Danny Ward to be honest.

 

Ricardo? The keeper

I think Ward is even worse than him!

Seen a few awful keepers down here, an overweight  Martin Hodge, Mark Grew, Rab Douglas and others, but the only one i think gives Ward a run for his money as being the Worst Keeper ive seen, is Zelijko Kalac.

Even worse -- he’s among our worst ever re-signings.  The club have overpaid for him three times.

 

(1) We paid Liverpool many times his market value in 2018

 

(2) … we then paid him Prem wages for three years to make a dozen or so appearances,  not a single one in the PL

 

(3) … and finally gave him the new 4 year contract in 2021.

 

You don’t even have to add in the financial hit of being relegated in the only year he actually played (I use "played" loosely) to conclude that he was a ruinous signing.

 

Us making silly signings isn't some modern thing idea. Even when we were doing well we still had some absolutely bonkers moves made. This was one of the least logical ever though. £12mil for a goalkeeper to then give Schmeichel a 5 year contract a week later. Who in their right mind pays that much for a backup?

 

Get worried every time I see this thread bumped to be honest  as in.. Cooper hasn't hinted at playing him.. right?

 

Ward needs to go. Will forever be associated with 2022/23. 26 ****ing games. I still can't believe it.

Our very own hemorrhoid - unable to get rid off and a pain in the a..

Saw the headline today that 'goalkeeper Ward signs for AFC Wimbledon' 

 

But it turns out to be Lewis Ward

That move really sums up LCFC. Brilliant one day & plain stupid the next.   They have made some incredible moves & followed them up with terrible ones.... There seems to be no logic at all. !!!

Whenever I see an update on this thread I think there's a chance the useless buggers on his way. 

 

Please could only good news of his impending exit be posted in future as it's not helping my rage.

Ward has to be up there as as worst ever given what we paid for him. At least many of the others got a lot of game time.

We've made too many stupid moves for me to think we were a fully smart club. There are pitfalls that I think even amateurs could've avoided. The flip side is the ones we've gotten right, on occasion, we have gotten 'so' right beyond any logic.

 

Vardy, Mahrez and Kante for me are three of the best signings in PL history, for the same club to make those all at the same time is something.

Yep, think Stallone in the great escape and you’re about there.

I knew it wasn’t true when they used ‘goalkeeper’ in the headline.

I opened this threat thinking **** me we've extended the ***** contract. 

 

That's the faith in the club at the minute.

I got a really bad feeling if Hermansen were to leave, Steve Cooper makes Danny Ward becomes No.1 over Stolarczyk... 

Welp, Ward started the first pre-season friendly against Villarreal...

Played half the match with Iversen playing the other half

 

Neither of Hermansen or Stolarczyk are there

Hermansen (if were to stay) is definite starter above Ward, but I not sure about the other goalkeepers from Cooper's perspective.

Were there no mailbox posts available to start over Ward?

He let's in 50% of shots on target. My fat friend would do the same

if he considers Ward as anything more than a millstone to be sold asap then he needs throwing into the Soar.

Iversen will leave in this window - either permanently or on loan.
