Boycie Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 With all the speculation surrounding possible incoming strikers, where does this leave our Jamie? Who would you keep between Ward and Russell? Will he be here come the start of the season? If we do get Ross McCormack, surely one would have to be sold? I like Ward, and when he's on his game he's brilliant, but, for me sometimes he seems to sulk. His set pieces are terrible. What do you guys think?

L_J_DCFC Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Just extended his contract so yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted June 14, 2014 Author Share Posted June 14, 2014 Just extended his contract so yes so has Thorne, so maybe not. Plus, we get a fee if he does get sold, come on, we have an ex agent as CEO remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott129 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Relegated to back-up this year if we bring someone new in. Weird to think that, just 2 seasons ago, he was our best player and carried us through a lot of games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needles Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Keep. Although it would be nice to not have to rely on his spaghetti hamstrings for 40 games a season. He carried our main attacking threat for 18 months so its nice to even contemplate that we might be able to do better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boycie Posted June 14, 2014 Author Share Posted June 14, 2014 Gets injured a lot, but, to be fair, last season he stayed fit longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorfolkRam Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 keep as rotation, if we bring an attacker in it will be to replace the void left by Bamford going, not losing Ward IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 He'd be first out the door for me, should we look for someone better. I say first out the door, I'm not including Sammon in this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoneedshuls Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Reckon hell be used more as an impact player of the bench next year tends to be greedy in the final 3rd when easy passes are available he tends to shoot. Can't blame him for it but it just frustrates me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YorkshireRam Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 If we sell Sammon, I might be tempted to keep Ward as a backup striker rather than a winger. He played at his best for us when he was upfront. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rammie002 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Keep him for cover and competition. As from last year we're down a player in Bamford, so even if we get another player in we are in the same position. And if we get a striker still means we have the same amount of wingers, just need to get rid of sammon which I can't see anybody really being bothered about. As long as he wants to stay keep him 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PistoldPete2 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Yes. His injuries, dips in form etc may be reasons for him not to play every week if we get someone better. But on his day, he can still tear teams apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Absolutely. He should replace Bamford on the bench though, but we need someone good to replace Ward in the team. It's a really, really difficult job though. It's not replacing an average player, it's replacing a player who to most teams would still be their best player. 7 goals and 6 assists last season - 101 shots, 77 created chances...etc He was key, not many players have that sort of impact on games. I'd go with Lingard from United, he'd be a better choice but how realistic or not that is depends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
