I've heard that the Ward deal was going to go ahead and Danny Seaborne was a backup incase that didn't go through.
Ward apparently failed his medical (don't know how) and we had to go for Dan because other clubs were looking at him and we didn't want to be left without getting one of these two.
I must say I would have preferred Wardy signing for us, but i've heard good things about Seaborne, he can't be that bad if clubs like Leicester and Norwich wanted him.
In pards we trust.
