What does that mean? I think I can guess what you're babbling on about, I don't mind about grammar but at least check it's readable English before posting. FFS.

Secondly, what do you mean? Crosby has had terrible injury complications over the last 18 months, he was behind in pre-season and didn't get running again until towards the end of pre-season, so he's expected to be in contention later this month and if he finds his form he'll be a real asset.

The general tone of these type of posts really leaves a sour taste, as if he's just tossing it off taking his wage and being injured is a happy jolly holiday, when in reality you are isolated from the rest of the team and it can actually take a real mental toll, especially when it's for a long period.

Same

I do have sympathy with Crosby and his awful luck but with hindsight we should have never given him a 2 year contract and no matter how good he is for the rest of the season please don't renew it unless its pay as you play.

Crosby is signed already for next year his deal runs out in 2021 I believe.

For those who want the club to get rid - how? You can’t just ditch a player because he‘s injured

So how would the club do that with still 18 months left on his contract?

In any other employment they could terminate his employment through frustration of contract. If not just retire him through injury surely insurance would cover this as in football? It's a long long time since he played last and still no mention of when he could be back

He may not be ready to retire?

Ward is out of contract this year so it is down to the club if they keep him on, Stevie's body doesn't look like it can cope at all for his own health he surely must be thinking of early retirement which is a real shame as he can be class when fit.

Even with all his injuries, id be reluctant to get rid of Ward, brilliant player when fit and its sods law he'd be always fit the second we released him. Should we renew though, id hope there would be an acceptance on his part that his injury record would be reflected to some extent in his salary.

Agreed.

If Ward is to retire I'm confident he would become a very good coach, he's very intelligent.

His hamstrings would go putting the cones out tho!

Id go for Ward on a 1 year deal

His injury record would tell you different

it would have to be reflected in his salary. a fit Stevie Ward is worth marquee money no doubt but we can't carry him on big money on a long term deal again that would be crazy.

something like a one year deal on less money with a view to renegotiate at the end of the season if he hits a target of say 20 games. something like that could work. if he is looking for a long term big money deal i'm not sure we should be retaining him.
