 A quick glance at Boltons squad suggests that he hasn't been given a squad number this season but Tope has?

 

How curious.

he must be on his way to Brighton then.

Dont even joke about that!

Be great if we got him back - what a coup that would be!

Danny Ward is just way too good for this league, would just be an amazing signing if we got him back!

He has not played much for them in pre season and is obviously not in Coyles immediate plans.I am amazed that he has not joined a championship club yet.

What are the chances of us pulling it out of the bag? Seems like that longer it could drag on for the more chance we may have?

I'd certainly like to think that were the case!

Ward, Ball, Austin, Dossevi. :D

I agree IOB, the longer he goes no where the better

Lets close this thread immediately, it is tempting fate.

Move along people, theres nothing to see here.

:shutup: :shutup: :shutup: :shutup: :shutup: Could we accommodate him though?

Yes, he'd walk into the team.

You'd have Austin upfront with Ball/Ward and Ward/Ball on the left - they could even swap now and again.

It would be brilliant.

I don't think you appreciate that Dossevi is 100% the best Togolese striker on the planet.

If we were to get him would there be a place for jpm? We could have ball and ward on each wing.

ward is in the past.end this nonsense

Better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all

Ahhh...Nazareth. Rampant was one of my favourite albums when I was in my early teens.

They're site (i expect that's where you got the squad from) also says they have Klasnic on loan even though they've got him now, and also Petrov isn't listed as in the squad. I'm guessing the squad list on the Bolton website is a touch out of date.

He played for the reserves on Wednesday against AFC Fylde 1 - 1 draw!!

Nice one..I see Nazareth are still around after 40 years ???

Morrison said yesterday he wants to come back to us.  Bolton will probably prefer Championship though.

Id like to see Bodin back.  And Hoddle.  And Taylor.  And Summerbee.  And above all, Hazard.

Ward is in the past.  He won't come back.  Move on, people.

Cheers Billy. Can someone close the thread now it appears Billy has spoke to him.

Should just put a bid of £300 k - £400k to test the water.  I know it sounds a lot, but if Ward signs and does well for us, someone will easily offer £750k min for him.  

Exactly.

A lot more time has elapsed since those players last graced the turf of the County Ground as professional footballers than the last time Ward did.

Don't think he meant it tbf Sonic.

Of course he was joking. Hazard is 50 now, he'd be shit.

I know he wasn't serious, I just thought it was a strange comparison to make

I'd have Fjørtoft in the team for Tuesday night though.

Might have sounded like a bit of a twat (this happens a lot) but essentially my point was that, unless he does become a town player again, we need to forget about Ward and look at the players we do have.  One defeat doesn't mean a lot - let's give Wilson's new signings a chance, he hasn't got many wrong so far.

if ward is surplus to boltons requiremements(which is the probability)he should drop down 1 division,not 2.
i dont think we have much chance of getting him back,and rightly so.

I didn't post it because of the result yesterday, just passing on what Morrison said to me, I thought some people maybe interested? I'll keep any news to myself next time!

Didn't realise this was Billy Shears.com

Does all this talk mean that Ward will now become known as 'He who can't be named?'  :zipped:.... For example: Do you remember the 2nd goal of the first leg of the play-off final, you know the lovely counter attack with a great finish by 'HE WHO CAN'T BE NAMED!'

I don't get why some on here get so bothered about those discussing 'He who can't be named' and his future.....

Maybe there isn't a hope in hell that we could get him back..... but fuck surely people can still dream.  :headhurts:

What?  ???

Seriously, what the fuck is everyones current obsession with forgetting about last season?

Ward came in and did very well for us and played some great games, I am in no hurry to forget that. He did well for us and was a talented player, you'd have to be moron to not want him back here, sure its unlikely but it shouldnt stop us hoping.

I think most of us wish him well and will continually look out for his career in years to come due to the impact he made down here.

I'm not going to suddenly forget him just because he isnt here anymore.

I think you'll find that well just call him Danny Ward, because that's his name.

I dont think anyone wants to forget about ward or last season, but every 10 minutes someone makes the genius suggestion to get him back when

A. DW has already stated that we have our name on the list as a potential loan destination
B. Its clearly unlikley that he'll come back as championship clubs are (quite rightly) interested

So its not forget about him, its stop going on about it - not you personally in this case

This has all come from me giving an update on what was being said by Danny though, is that classed as going on about him?  Or would you rather all not know?  Pretty strange if you don't as this is the reason that most people get involved with forums, to be kept updated on the latest news and gossip.

Lot's of clubs interested in Danny Ward by the seems of it....

http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_6302376,00.html

Let it go......  Move on.......

We have an advantage of sorts, as he's been here last season, enjoyed it, played well and developed plus he'll be guaranteed to be playing every week - potentially in a team challenging for automatic promotion. If he goes to a Championship club he most likely wouldn't play every week and it would be a mid table team, so I don't think him coming back is as unlikely as some are making out.

Though I still think Bolton should be giving him a chance with their 1st team, he could be ready to make the step up.

ward went back to try to break through at bolton.if he isn't in coyle's thinking why would ward come back here?he has proven he can cut it in league 1, but the kid is ambitious so will be looking at the championship minimum,if he is to be loaned out again.
one of the clubs in that division will take him,i'd bet my house on that.
i see ward's situation very much like jimmy davis's after his spell with us.

Excatly what I think. You can never say never, but he's going to get a better offer IMHO.

we all said the same about Simon Cox after his loan spell here.

You'll be no doubt 'delighted' to know that Ward has pretty much joined Leeds on loan until January.

I'm sure he would have gone to Swindon if you got promoted last year.

More fool him

He wasnt that good anyway

Will do well at Leeds and glad he went there instead of Millwall as linked with earlier in the week

It's a good move for him.  Good luck.

Bolton bought him off Leeds didn't they, so likely a move he wanted.

He wasnt that good anyway, more fish in the sea.  We need a experienced centre half before v Franchise. That is the important piece in the jigsaw.  :D   

Get Sean O'Hanlon back?

Fuck that Reg

Ifils ya man!

No chance....Jerel's playing for a proper big club, he got to mark SSP on Saturday, and Danny Invincibile is still kicking around at Killie.

Was DW manager of Dongs when SOH signed?

No Reg he wasn't....it was Martin Allen...SOH signed just after DW went.

Two Reg Smeetons, there's only two Reg Smeetons......

Jerel is getting a game still at Aberdeen, but he's really not rated by their fans.  It's a relationship that never really got off the ground, unfortunately.  If we did ever want to get Jerel back (and I'm not suggested we would want him back, or that he would want to return), I doubt that it would take very much to persuade them.

Sign them all up

If we get Ifil back I want my season ticket money back!!
We dont need to be teaching our already sloppy defence how to distribute from defence straight to the opposition keeper! There is taking a step backwards, taking two or three steps backwards, and then there is re-signing Ifil!! NO THANKS!  :smugfu:

i'm amazed ifil is still getting a game up there.shows how utterly shit that league is

I missed this. Best website ever.  Just me - being right about everything.

As proved by Cetic's performances in Europe away from home. Fucking dire.

Just saw this in a paper, and considering Ward is supposed to be joining Lids,but hasn't done so, this could be the reason :

Lids chairman Ken Bates has hit out at Premier League players and thei agents, accusing them of holding Championship clubs to ransom and claiming they are 'totally out of touch' with financial reality. Bates revealed how a proposed deal for an unnamed Premier League prospect would have cost Leeds close to £1m in wages over the season.
Bates said 'There is the young player who has never played in the first team of his Premier League club and was out on loan last season, earning £5k a week. His young agent demanded no less than £14k a week, which would've cost the club about £850k per annum. Some players and their agents are totally out of touch with reality.'

Right, we just need to get the Red Army Fund to 850k then!

Saw that this morning, suspected it may be Ward.  If it is glad Bates has been fucked over.

They can afford it. They are the Champions of Europe, you know !!!

Pfffttt... We could afford it :)

Im in for a fiver!

Anyone else?

Does anyone know or care to guess what town players are on?

This seems awfully high to me, but I'm probably wrong.

I don't know and would not care to guess. But I do think we are paying out a fair old wack to most of our first team players for our level.

Bates......the tax exile who lives in Monaco,no problem with that except when he calls others greedy.
Dont think the player he was on about was Ward,if it was he must feel sick seeing as they let him go for free a few years back!

I dont think Ward really wants to go out on loan, thats why his agent is probably asking for so much?

As for Bates, he's right. But Im really crying in my cornflakes this morning reading this story. I feel so sorry for the sixnils.

Obviously all whispers but:

Our wage cap is 5k a week, we offered paynter 6k but leeds offered him 8k. Dougie Lucas and Greer were top earners, and heard Austin may be on about 2800.

Those figures sound pretty feasible to me. I guess if Charlie continues to bang them in, he will get bumped up with the top earners.

So Ward still hasn't joined anyone yet then? Come on Fitton and Wilson. Get a last minute offer in for the lad and let's get him back here.

At 14k a week? :p

I don't think that article was about Ward as he played Bolton's first game last season and it says the player has never played for their Premier League club.

Good point, well made.


I'll get my coat.

I heard Douglas was our top earner on about 4.5k a week. Again, all whispers

Which pretty much fits in with Panda's figures. Douglas, Prutton, Lucas, Caddis and Ferry have to be on roughly that kind of money.
