Ward didn't quite understand that giving attackers 'the eyes' doesn't work if you are a goalie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paninistickers Posted 8 January Share Posted 8 January From what I can recall of the Cardiff keeper, he looked perfectly average. Which is waaaay above Ward's level. I've reconciled myself to it. He'll be here til the end of his contract and will be consigned as the most expensive keeper in history; 12.5m, around 11m wages and around 125m in lost revenues. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxTimmy2 Posted 9 January Share Posted 9 January I find this hard to believe. Do they not have access to the internet in Sheffield? Have they not watched him play? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 1972 Fox Posted 10 January Popular Post Share Posted 10 January Signed from Liverpool for £12.5m in 2018 on a four year contract. He was given a new four year contract In 2021 meaning we could well be stuck with him until 2025. Who the fvck endorsed either of his two contracts with us? Unbelievable ineptitude. Has to be one of our worst ever keepers in both performance and cost. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan LCFC Posted 10 January Share Posted 10 January That Brighton video. ****ing hell. I 'almost' felt sorry for Ward eventually. It was that twat who kept picking him I can't forgive. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobyfox Posted 10 January Share Posted 10 January (edited) 7 minutes ago, MPH said: you’re more upset about him earning half of what Bertrand was earning? At least Bertrand has gone. We’ve also invested more in wages on Ward when you consider the length of his two contracts (This is a thread about Ward, but Alex Smithies's contract is equally scandalous if true) Edited 10 January by Jobyfox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sly Posted 10 January Author Share Posted 10 January 43 minutes ago, mozartfox said: I wonder who it was that scouted him back then? I doubt we can hang that one on Puel. Yes, it was under the Puel regime. In fairness he’d done okay at Huddlesfield 12 months prior. That summer, for money we signed Maddison, Evans, Ricardo, Ward, Ghezzel, Benkovic and Soyuncu. We shipped out Musa, Mahrez, Gordon, Ulloa. Overall I’d say that was a successful transfer window. We overpaid for Ward but every transfer is a risk. Transfer fee / wages he’s cost us around 4.2m for the 5 years he’s been here, £21m-ish. Bertrand cost us around £10.4m as it was only a 2 year contract (thankfully).
