Losing Vestergaard, Ings and JWP would be identical to the summer we lost Vlaar, Benteke and Delph and we all know how that panned out. Freakishly similar.

Phil Silvers Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Anyway, back to this, I can't believe what to club have done today to try and distract us. Southampton to cave in any time now and we get our man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post GingerCollins29 Posted August 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 12, 2021 IF and its a big if, we can get him, pay the money. He is absolutely class, better than everyone we have in midfield and as s bonus is the best set piece taker in the league. Stop trying to find the negatives! Absolutely statement signing! 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really not value for price and hope we get someone better. We got the much more proven Bailey at a fraction of the price we would have to pay for ESR. Perhaps we could find someone else like that instead of JWP. I feel exactly the same as this. I also feel as though one player is alright from a team, just don't start nicking two or more. If we're after a CM, AM type player then there are tons and probably just as good abroad who we could get for a deal n half if Lange works his magic. Because we're light in the centre from having extra players on the wings due to our formation. You need a player who easily enough makes himself into two players in CM,the so called big boys of the league have that but we dont. He's going to have to be able to support Buendia and the DM right? I'm not so sure that is JWP. This CM is going to have to be everywhere even support flanks, he's going to have to have the energy and stamina of a Demi God, not to mention the ability of a star we've probably not had yet in that position. We are basically looking for another deal like Bailey I think, someone we can convince, someone who us fans think maybe out of our league now, we need an absolute destroyer in CM.

If there are so many at half the price, why hasn’t everyone got a top quality centre mid? Seems too easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he’s a decent player but I’m not convinced he’s the midfielder to help us break the top 6. He’s an upgrade for sure just for his set pieces alone but I’m not sure he offers more than some of our other midfielders without this.

Well think of mccginn but being more reliable and better at passing and a top free kick taker, that's what JWP is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGinn cost us £2.5m though. JWP will be 25x more than him. He should be better. McGinn isn’t a bad passer he just tries stupid passes at times. If he kept it simple he would benefit the team more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't he a bit one paced though? I'd prefer us to sign a midfielder who either can just break through teams at will and have players bouncing off him or someone who's incredible heading in set pieces e.g. someone like Soucek at West Ham. Ward Prowse not a bad player but not sure really, feels like the sort of signing we've done in the past from team close to relegation we've hyped up and then found they're not all that e.g. Curcic, Thompson, N'zogbia.

I think JWP is one of those Mr Consistent type players who a club's own fans rate, but opposition fans see as a bit mediocre. Gareth Barry was always the same when he was at Villa. I'd be happy to overpay slightly for him, because I think he would hit the ground running and help us really kick on immediately. If we overpay by £5m or £10m that's nothing in the grand scheme of things - certainly not enough to cause us any financial problems, or limit our ability to buy players in the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
