According to Sky Sports just now, Ward has signed for £1.6m. Deal to be announced in morning. Good signing - nippy forward with a good finish who can play down middle or out wide. Did well in a poor team last season. Should compliment Zohore nicely.

I would think the £1.6m plus add ons is incorrect and the figure is including add ons

Ward has got to be worth at least that but he was approaching the final year of his contract and Rotherham needed the money after relegation. Ward scored 12 goals (as many as Zohore) in a struggling team and had a number of assists. Warnock has obviously been a major influence in him coming here and I am very optimistic that he will do well. Perhaps you wanted us to sign Ronaldo ?.Quote:

but, rather like another of our signings in Nathaniel Mendez-Laing, there are some signs that Ward is a player who has kicked on in his mid twenties, so I'm going to do my usual of watching him playing three or our games for us before rushing to judgments.
Anyway, here's the obligatory "I'll drive him there myself" message from a Rotherham fan :hehe:

50% of the fee goes to Huddersfield as a sell-on fee! :yikes:
Why the surprise? It's similar to the deal we got for Bale.Quote:

I also think he can adapt to playing with Zohore and their styles should compliment each other. The Rotherham fans comments indicate to me that a). Ward wasn't happy at Rotherham after January because they were so poor and he wanted to leave b). The fan is bitter because they were so bad and went down.Quote:

Until it's announced officially, it hasn't happened yet.
