Good luck to him.
Wasn't his fault was it.
A truly bizarre signing by Jones after all his talk of fittest full backs in the land .
He wasn't very good was he but no hard feelings.

Wasn’t needed, we needed and need better,
He won’t be missed.

One of several signings made by Jones for whom I never quite worked out who they were?! :-)

Literally the polar opposite of what Jones needs a fullback to be in his system, amazingly though this is one of the least psycho decisions he made... Infact only the third most psycho decision related to fullbacks after thinking McClean was one and not choosing to make signing a top class one not his first priority.

Wasn’t needed, we needed and need better, He won’t be missed. That's disgusting. He happened to be the best that we could get. That's not his fault. We may like to but there's no guarantee or even likelihood that mister super leftback will join us before next season. |

A total disaster of a signing in the context of Jones and his diamond system..... |

I don't bear any particular malice towards him. The bigger question about Stephen Ward is how our transfer team, not for the first time, lurched rapidly from the ultra luxury A* option in James Justin to the bargain basement decrepit option.

Departs?
Did he ever really join?

We signed some garbage over the past few seasons but this one was probably one of the most baffling... bye anyway.

Alright well sign a half decent one, any cunt with a left foot really. A left back should have been our priority, especially in his system. |

Let's hope he stays indoors. At his age he's in the vunerable group for Covid.

It was just a classic scfc lazy signing. Two minutes to browse players out of contract list.....shite process |

On a par with when we signed a past it Nigel Worthington as our first choice left-back in 1996. Just a shame we didn't have a 17 year old Andy Griffin to replace him this time around.

It's not really a bigger question, but it has a simple answer. Justin didn't want to rejoin Jones and he didn't want to join Stoke, and no else in that class wanted to. Ward was just a swap for Pieters. He probably wasn't even wanted by Jones. |

Remember, folks. He was brought in as a rotational player.
Not because we thought James Justin would be on his way. But because Mad Nathan thought James McClean was a LB.
Not his fault. He's past it. He knows that. We know that. Blame NJ for anything Ward did wrong.

He's a 34 y/o cheapo whose legs are so far gone that I'm sure even Bruno Martins Indi would beat in a 100m sprint. He provided what we paid: fuck all. |

He was not one of the young players he had in mind obviously, but a last resort when he realised no one else was coming. |

Good luck to him though, not his fault.

Completely bizarre signing. Let's hope we've learned our lesson. We'll soon see if Chester and Chris Brunt rock up.

He'd walk into our side atm though at left back or central midfield and we'd probably be safe he was here now. Now I know that doesn't he's acceptable as a starter. But as an experienced player who can cover 3 posistions well, is a good footballer, excellent at set pieces and is a trusted lieutenant of the manager, I think it's shrewd. Starting anything more than 10 games next then it's a worry. |

Can he fit a few more in his car?
Abysmal signing, looked properly shot from his first game. Nothing against him personally.
