romavillan Posted August 18, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 18, 2021 Business post the Grealish sale was always going to be difficult to get value. JWP for £50m is only worth it if the current squad plus JWP gets Europe and extra TV money latest next year as per our plan. Even then I think we'd get better value paying well over the odds still (as the whole world knows we just got £100m) for a player playing in a top European league. they'd still get to feel like they were fleecing us but it would be a lot less expensive than shopping in the UK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. JWP is fairly similar to Luiz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made In Aston Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 I think a Nakamba upgrade would be money better spent. Someone with McGinn energy, who can press, intercept and tackle and has a good range of passing. Not much to ask! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody1000 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 I would like us to sign JWP if we were able to get him for a reasonable price, but if I’m honest I don’t see our midfield becoming any tougher with him in the side, I think we’d still be seeing the same complaints in the match threads after defeats about our soft midfield. What we don’t have in our midfield is a strong, combative player who will get in opponents faces, I don’t feel that JWP fits that bill either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Just goes to show the rhetoric from the club was gearing towards raising JWP’s price - he was always going to be sold. Just a question of meeting any value. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 I think he’d be a great signing, not just for his quality from set pieces but he’s also excellent in general play too. Southampton will want a lot of money for him but I think we should pay it. From watching from afar, he seems to have a great attitude and wants to improve and be the best player that he can be. If we do sign him, it will annoy Southampton fans especially after signing Ings too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like we're playing a game of chicken with them, they are a selling club, everyone of there players has a price and we are a buying club with money. For this to happen, both parties need to budge, 40m including bonuses is a fair number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 It's not my money, we can afford it. Think we should sign him. Apart from Sanson who admittedly we haven't really seen much of, Ward-Prowse (I think) would be our best midfielder. £50 million for a Captain of a PL team and current England International seems about right. If we get him it improves Villa and weakens another potential rival. Ward-Prowse might get us top into the six too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Scoop him up for the 50m asking price and shift Wesley, Hourihane and AEG. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pintpotvilla Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 You just know this will happen on the last day and not for £50m either Probably about £40m plus add-ons 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted August 18, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 18, 2021 Whilst it's a lot of money, I feel he's a player we genuinely need. There will be no doubt be better options abroad for that type of money but the risk factor is far higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 I'd pay 40m plus 5m add on's to get him this window. 50 would be a shade too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 He’s not the defensive destroyer that most want but he would improve our ball retention no end. Plus his free kicks and corners are outstanding. Whether that’s worth £50m, I’m not sure, but I’m happy for the club to pay it if we think it will make us better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
