We're all very disappointed that we appear to have lost out on Ward, but how do you know the Albion did sod all until the last 3 weeks? You state it like it's a fact.
It doesn't seem that Burnley are desperate. They already had a left back in the team when they won promotion. I still wonder if this is a bidding war, but then we don't seem to win those either.
It's not confirmation that he's signed. It strikes me that there is a bidding war and we can do two things.
One tell him to go to Burnley as we're not paying any more
Two offer him more money as it doesn't seem from our resident Burnley fan, that he'll be first choice LB there.
