First Wizard 0 Posted February 13, 2004 A mate of mine with damn good connections, has told me today that we''ll be resigning Ashley Ward on Monday, Has any one else have any further information on this?. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DumbleDelia is Magic 0 Posted February 13, 2004 I obviously don''t know how reliable your source is 1st WIz, but I''d be very VERY suprised if we did sign Ward back. Why would we need him? We''ve already got two quality strikers on the bench. Also he''s hardly set the world alight at Sheff Utd. What do you think as to resigning Wardy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Archie 0 Posted February 13, 2004 hes hardly done amazingly at sheff utd, they''d be unlikely to let him go to a rival promtion chasing club, and we signed three new strikers only 2 months agoneed i say more?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
First Wizard 0 Posted February 13, 2004 I must admit I was a bit suprised myself over this, however I don''t think I would object too much, he does have premiership experience, and pace/ball control. The source, as I said has been reliable in the past, and although I don''t normaly go in for rumour, I do find this one interesting. As I recall with Huckerby the rumour mill went mental, I suppose we must wait and see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Boubepo 0 Posted February 13, 2004 "Damn good connections" - what theatrical connections?, cos your mate sounds a right comedian to me - ''Ashley Ward'' - he must have thought that one up between throwing custard pies!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Plastic Scouser 0 Posted February 13, 2004 No seriously, I saw him in Safeways in Cromer - pushing the trolleys...or was it on the Norwich bound platform at North Walsham....This would be signing of Bryan Hamilton proportions if this was true! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FatMan Fat 0 Posted February 13, 2004 Ashley Ward? He would be about as much use to use as Ashley Peacock from Corrie!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
First Wizard 0 Posted February 14, 2004 Sorry I spoke JB!, in future I''ll keep any snippets to myself if thats what you think of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DumbleDelia is Magic 0 Posted February 14, 2004 Don''t listen to JB 1st Wiz. We''ve seen in the past couple of days what stupid ideas he can come up with. Sounds a little sad but Ashley Ward to come back. He was my first proper City hero. He was the first player I had on the back of my shirt. I''ll never forget his debut at home to Chelsea when he scored two, and Cureton got the third within seconds of coming on! Magic! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
First Wizard 0 Posted February 14, 2004 Ah, happy days DD, thanks for your support, as I said its only a rumor and though I was sceptical at the time, stranger things have happened. I would''nt be gutted if it turns out to be false though, as we seem to have cover in that position don''t you think?. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DumbleDelia is Magic 0 Posted February 14, 2004 If we did sign him it would be nice but if we didn''t I don''t think it would be a disaster. After all we''ve got two strikers on the bench at the moment. Also i think McKenzie would have a fit. He already seems a bit p****ed off that he''s on the bench and I think if we signed another striker it wouldn''t boost his confidence at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Boubepo 0 Posted February 14, 2004 Yep, you''re dead right DumbleDelia, he did have one good game on his debut and seeing as you had his name on the back of your shirt over a decade ago, that''s good enough for me - let''s get him back straight away!

John Boubepo 0 Posted February 14, 2004 This is a discussion board - different opinions, different views, a way of knocking a few ideas around, a bit of banter, the odd wind up etc etc If we all agreed with each other we would all be wearing retro shirts with Ashley Wards name on the back and trying to drag Norwich back to the mid - late 90s !!

Woody Baker 0 Posted February 16, 2004 Well Monday came and went, no Ashley Ward, that has to be the biggest relief so far this season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Boubepo 0 Posted February 17, 2004 You''re relieved!? imagine my relief - if we had signed him, the retro boys would have had me eating custard pies for the rest of the season!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
