ChaddesdenRam Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Games 20 Goals 12 Assists 8 Shots 49 I would say 50% of games at wing and the other up front. Just as a guess mind. I think one of the biggest coups this summer will be a contract for Jamie Ward. He is becoming the go to player ala commons. And we saw what happened when other clubs came in for kris. Now everyone is going to say he will need to be injury free that is an obvious factor. But I think it is worth the risk of his reoccuring injuries giving him a new contract?

North_Stand_Ram Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 100% agree. Give the lad a new 2 year deal asap. He would be an ideal signing for a relegated side and i feel we'll get bids in the summer. Same goes for Bryso and Bray. Get them 3 signed up as well as 2-3 quality signings (obviously depends on the Hughes situation) and i'm happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 2 year? Give him a deal through to 16/17, class player. He's come along leaps and bounds with Sammon along side him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcdcfc28 Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 20 goals, along with 25 injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Won't stay injury free. Some players like him and Tyson and Commons are just prone to strains and niggles. Forever. I'd say inconsistently one of divisions best players. Imagine Ward at his best for 46 games? He'd be a star and probably the divisions POTY. Bet there's a few like him knocking about though tbf. Snodgrass consistency made him an absolute gem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFCfranco Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Give him a couple more years. But with his hamstrings he'll never play enough to get 20 goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duracell Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Give him as many goals as possible and then sell him. If we're going to try and go up on a shoe string, you can't afford the luxury of having players like this who are only fit for half the season or less. Your best player needs to be available all the time if you want to go up. Ward is also the sort of player we could probably get quite a bit for. Sell him to Leicester, Cardiff or some other team with rich, moronic owners and managers who have a fetish for signing 24-28 year-old Championship players for a couple of a million, and you could get yourself two players who may not be as quite as good as Ward but will be twice as effective due to playing the whole season.

davenportram Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 He doesn't need a new contract we have a one year option on him which we will take up. After that he will be released • with a small squad you can't carry someone who has dodgy hamstrings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davenportram Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 His hamstrings wouldn't be 'dodgy' if he was ever allowed the time to recover properly 3 months is a very long time!

Mostyn6 Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 it was only 3 months cos his stepped up training made the injury worse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenportram Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 it was only 3 months cos his stepped up training made the injury worse! Hp or ketchup?

SSD Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 His hamstrings wouldn't be 'dodgy' if he was ever allowed the time to recover properly Disagree with that statement. His career has been plagued hamstrings injuries so no matter how much time he has to recover, they won't magically get any better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 He needs to be better in certain aspects of his game, but, in terms of putting the ball in the goal or setting goals up. He is a fantastic player, he is a favourite for all stat derby fans because he produces the numbers, and in the end that's all that matters. He could do with watching his game a bit, because as well as our most effective player - he is probably the most wasteful to! Looks to play too direct at times, but he isn't a premier league standard player and I don't think he ever will be, but, as a championship attacking player he can hold his own with the best!

Guest Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Amazinging how many physios we have now, brayford has got a hamstring injury does that mean his career his going to be plagued with injuries now. He played 40 games last year, not bad for an injury prone player, which is around same as another injury prone player we didn't offer a contract to until it was to late.

Guest Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Amazing how many agents we have too who seem to know all about contract offers, transfer fees, wages etc! Just in case you are struggling though, and your burnley shareholder can't help..... DERBY County will look to offer new contracts to forwards Kris Commons and Steve Davies if they can prove their fitness next season. Both players were plagued by injury during the 2009-10 campaign and are about to enter the final year of their current deals. Manager Nigel Clough believes the duo have the talent to be among the top performers in the Championship but is looking for them to produce on a far more consistent basis. Hamstring problems restricted Commons to 24 appearances last term and only 14 starts. Davies was also hampered by his hamstrings and required surgery on an ankle towards the end of the campaign. He made 22 appearances in all competitions and only nine starts. Both are doing their utmost to make sure they return to pre-season training in the best possible condition. Davies, 22, has already been working on his strength and conditioning at the club's Moor Farm training ground, while 26-year-old Commons is due in next week. Rams chief executive Tom Glick said: "In Kris Commons and Steven Davies, we have, in the manager's opinion, two of the most talented players in the Championship.

Only giving him a year to sign a contract was ridiculous. Should have been offered a contract the season before, you remember the one where he was injured, on the bench or putting in awful performances leading to him being subbed in the first half. Or maybe google can come up with a good counter argument to that. And just as a side point, Shackells fee has yet to be proven...or did Google prove that too? The same Google that had us believe that Commons and Shackell...actually I won't even go there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
