Just been released by Derby. Definitely should be trying to bring him in imo, he's been quality when I've seen him. Also, who else is now on a free who would be worth bringing in?

On his last warning
Nearly 29 years old and physically too small for Hughtons tactics. Good player but can fizz out.

Just read he is 5ft 5ins. I am not sure we would want to splash the cash on him.

We were in for him a few years ago if memory serves me correct.

If he has been released the cash will only be for his wages and signing on fee surely.
I'm not disagreeing with you in this instance, but generally that is an incredibly narrow minded attitude towards player recruitment. Ian Wright "wasn't good enough" for us once upon a time too remember.

Can't see why he wasn't good enough...they played him 25 time

Silly old bat
Being short doesn't make him a headless chicken. He scored 1 in 4.
Slightly different though, isn't it? We had Ian Wright on trial for a short time. Jamie Ward has been at Derby for years, and was only a regular starter when they were a lower half team, under Nigel Clough. Either way, if we want top 6, he's not good enough.

A definite upgrade on what we have. He's feisty, too, and we need a bit more nastiness.
Plays wide left and is a feisty little battler, with something of a mean streak. He would improve on what we have.
As did Mackail-Smith.
He's got into double figures ONCE in the Championship, as highlighted above. He usually gets 6/7 goals. He's no better than CMS (and no, i'm not saying we should have kept him).

That seems odd, seeing as Derby announced he had signed a two-year deal only last summer.
And we apparently WERE after him, as [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] reported at the time - No Ward double for the Albion

Playing devils advocate here - Jamie Ward or Jake Forster Caskey ?

Oh yes but a three year contract will cost £2million plus. Is he what we really need ? If am fine with that if he is but not for somebody in and out of the side.

The Derby Telegraph is saying he is due to leave a year after signing until June 2016 but also says Derby will officially announce their retained list later this week.
We tried to get him last Summer. Different manager and recruitment team then, although it's worth remembering that Paul Winstanley joined us from Derby.

We should be ASPIRING to better players than that
