If JWP wants to come, which I’m sure he will (sorry Saints fans), then they’ll do well to keep him. It’s no different to Man City plucking Grealish from us. There is a food chain and there is absolutely zero loyalty in football anymore. In an ideal world, both Grealish and Ward Prowse would stay at their respective clubs for their careers but immortality at club level is fairly low down on the priority list for footballers now. I can’t see us getting him for less than 40m and tbh, I think he’s probably worth that, if not more to Saints. He plays every match, he’s a leader, he has a serious engine on him and he’d give us 5 goals extra from set pieces alone next season. I think Villa will go all out for him.

Bazmonkey Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Out of Cantwell and JWP......JWP would be a great buy.....fit in nicely. Cantwell is a good player but I think he would take time to develop need a year or two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Looks like Saints are restructuring completely, it's sad really, they were such a good example of how to build a club - but yes please we shall have their best players now - I've had to put up with Saints supporting inlaws for 8 years when they constantly beat us and it always felt so wrong. JWP would not strengthen us by one good player, he'd be multiplying our threat. Get it done Lange! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Willard Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Feel sorry for Saints but I still hope we get JWP. Reminds me of when Villa sold Benteke and then Delph finally went. We later got relegated. Saints following our footsteps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially as there's is brought on by their owner passing. Ours was brought on by our owner giving up so I have even more sympathy for them. But I suppose we can't get sentimental.

CVByrne Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Can't see them letting him go to us after Ings. They'd be in a relegation scrap from day 1 if they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MachoFantastico Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Would love to see him at the club, was really impressed with him last season and earned his England chance. Would suck for Southampton though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Indigo Posted August 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2021 If you think that after gullibly believing Grealish was staying because of an incognito Leeds fan/NFL ITK and cryptic messages from random DJs that I'll take my information from a former Apprentice contestant...then you're absolutely correct.

PieFacE Posted August 5, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 5, 2021 Does seem odd that they would let both him and Ings go. Can't see it but I hope it does happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyVillans Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 If we are getting ings for 25mill then surely JWP is going to be 60mill atleast. Would love him but scared the fee will be insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
