Nah he was a Mathias Sammer type sweeper. Excellent range of passing, strong, physical, but lacking a bit of pace. I am no fan of Joel Ward but he can do a job back there. We didnt get relegated yet as far as I recall with Wardy playing right back. This is good business from Parish if what I am reading is correct and the initial fee is over 50 mil. The lad is absolute class but he is still not proven over season after season. That will come in time I am sure, but Parish is smart enough to know sometimes a player does go backwards instead of forwards with their development, and the hype dies down. He is still very young, and this is a lot of dosh. End of the day we need the benjamins so this should allow us to keep Zaha now for sure for this season at least. [Tweet Link] Before he got injured and couldn't win his place back from AWB thereafter Ward was on the wane in a big way. He's decent cover st RB for a handful of games a season, but he cannot be allowed to play 38 league games there, he'll be ripped apart. AWB will need replacing. Add that to the 2 strikers and 2 attacking midfielders we already need. 55 million isn't enough to plug the gaps. Should've kept him another season.

If the paperwork also includes us not having to pay Man U a sell on fee for Wilf it'll be an even better deal

But we also have financial concerns. Whatever, it’s at least £110 mil to evolve the team because Wilf can’t play for ever.

I can see Clyne being loaned and a striker being loaned, free transfer goalkeeper, and maybe a young striker and midfielder being bought, that's if AWB is the only player going.

Personally I think Ward's days as a regular PL fullback are over. He is far, far too slow and when he filled in for AWB teams exploited this. He used to make up for his lack of pace with strong positioning but now it doesn't seem enough.

Clyne is now even money on oddschecker to join Palace, next best odds 16/1, last year of his contract at Liverpool, had some off field problems but a decent player, could do a lot worse. 10/12 million

Didnt see that one coming. Would rather not have to see him line up against us so Juve would be ideal, as I dont think we will make the Champions League any time soon.
Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha. |
