We were in for Ryan Kent and Grant Ward

[ChipButtyBlade]

I heard this news on the jungle telegraph this morning Wilder wanted em.

 

[Marcus Aurelias]

Who are they? Do tell.

 

[Ricky]

Good to hear.

Both quick and exciting players. Both high calibre players. Shows we're aiming high.

 

[Liaminho9]

Grant Ward made his debut coming on for Ipswich at half time on Saturday... Scored a hat trick.

'if ifs and ands were pots and pans' Bramall Lane would have a branch of 'le Creuset' in the superstore.

 

[wizadry]

Are you sure it wasn't Clark Kent, he can get off the ground well.

I'm not familiar with either player, but I trust in Wilder's judgement. Isn't that how it's meant to work? We employ a 'specialist', he surrounds himself with other 'specialists', together they're meant to understand their area of specialisation, football and it's supporting framework. Managers live or die by the players they buy, we all know the risks involved and the fine line between being able to judge who will do a job for the club and who's to be avoided.......well, there's the rub. You look at Woolford or Hammond, both players underwhelmed and contributed to our inability to succeed, whereas Sharpe's contribution was met with universal approval.

Wilder arrived with a 'feel-good' factor, and seems to be delivering on that promise. It may not be quick enough for those supporters whose impatience is always on a short fuse, but for what it's worth my instincts suggest he'll make a better job of managing this club than recent incumbents. Asking for time isn't the responsibility of any manager. Wilder understands the needs of the club and supporters, remaining in this division simply isn't an option. The thing is, it might take longer than one season. It grates me to say that but it could be the truth. The fact that CW has wasted no time in identifying who should stay and who needs to leave is the surest indicator that Wilder has his finger on the pulse of what's needed to move this club forward. Give the guy the backing he needs and deserves, we'll all benefit from supporting our manager. UTB.

[judge]

Think it's a good thing we are exclusively looking at players with no more than 8 letters in tgeir name this should be across the board imo

 

[Northyorksblade]

We actually signed Ashley Ward.

Is this something you heard from somewhere else but isn't a stated fact?

[SwissBlade]

Chris Wilder said it, it was on Radio Sheff this morning from an interview they did with him.

 

[itsinyerblood]

Letters?....Inches?.....Please, do clear this mystery up.

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

Just for raul. Same size, same colour, same mobility and pace.

I preferred the more cultured description, "mahogany veneer regency style wardrobe"

 

[1danewhitehouse]

Adkins was in for Kent. Might have been in for Ward as he talked about young PL wingers.

Ooh posh bastard

There was an interview last night during Football Heaven where Wilder mentioned those players.

 

[Grecian2000]

I'm in for Maitland Ward.

 

[raul]

Sadly, Helios doesn't even make the top ten these days.

 

[Sean Thornton]

It's on BladesMad.

 

[Kenilworth]

Who are they? Do tell.

Ryan Kent is a Liverpool player.
Winger.
Was on loan at Coventry for a good part of last year and did well there.

He's now at Barnsley, on loan. For the season, I believe.
