I love a transfer “battle” . Some prefer a “ race  to sign” but it’s a “battle” for me every time 

Do you think it will go above 25 million…….

Looking forward to watching him make the goal look twice as big and turning his head away from the ball again! 

Ward didn't quite understand that giving attackers 'the eyes' doesn't work if you are a goalie.

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.

Foxtalk nightmare 🙀:

 

”Hero Danny Ward helps keep Sheffield United in the Premier League with completely unexpected superb performances and, as part of the initial deal will transfer on the 1st July 2024 for an undisclosed fee believed to be £1.25p and a bag of boiled sweets”

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.

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)

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).

In fairness Bertrand probably saved more shots from the treatment table than Ward did on the pitch . . . .

The lob over his head, at Chelsea, is one of my personal favourites.

Man Utd away was particularly bad, he showed Rashford the whole goal and then jumped over the ball for another. 
 

genuinely one of if not the worst player I’ve seen for us in my lifetime.

I think if you factor in the transfer fee and wages etc 100 per cent the worst player we have ever deemed it necessary to pay money for

Don’t know the history but have we paid the most ever for a back up keeper? Can’t remember any other teams paying £12M or more.
