Hey up Monktyke, this might sound like sour grapes but it isnt. I think he will struggle in this division and definately the premier division if the Blunts pox it and get up. Jamie Ward is quick, yes i admit that, but he stands 5ft 5 in his wellies. I always thought of Michael Owen as small but he is 5 8 so the stats say. Speed is priceless, you cant buy it, but 6 footers can trap in the next level up and will be too strong physically for him. I cant fault him for wanting a bit of extra cash cos lets not kid ourselves thats what its all about.
Hang on a minute, weren't we closer to the play offs than relegation zone when we were in talks with him?
He's hardly going to admit he wanted more money We didn't offer him enough, and the Blunts agreed to his demands. Whether he is worth it, only time will tell.
