CarryOnVilla Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 1 minute ago, Awol said: Disagree, Liverpool fans have been talking about him as the successor to Henderson in their team. I agree, he’s good enough for UCL and international level. If we get him we’ll wonder how we ever got by without him. £40-45m is fair value, £50m would be steep. More than that I think we walk. clearly know their stuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBlack Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 No way we pay 50m for this man, when we only got twice that for the beat English player in the world. And I don't see Southampton selling for less. So not happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 (edited) JWP would be a great fit for us and for the next 5 years. For every Gordqn Cowans you need a Des Bremner. But this one gives you incredible free kicks , corners and penalties Edited August 11, 2021 by MWARLEY2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won’t be so gloomy on the price when JWP whips it in for Ings to score in what is a well rehearsed top class premier league partnership Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 And for the record if they sell JWP thats the equivalent this window of us selling Watkins McGinn and Mings . So on the basis that is suicide we need to look at other targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 16 minutes ago, CarryOnVilla said: And a potential £50m JWP is the answer? I’m some how doubt that’s savvy business The outlay isn't important. 50m JWP on a 4 year contract gets most of the amortised cost in the next three years when we've £100m pile of Jack Grealish money that only lasts for 3 years. £30m is Ings money. That leaves 30m or thereabouts left for next summer when we have new sponsorship deals and the revenue they bring to add to the transfer funds. Signing Ward Prowse for £50m this summer is far better use of our FFP headroom than signing nobody or a £10m development player. We just need Southampton to sell 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mic09 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 If we signed JWP, and considering the rest of the squad, even with worst injury bad luck we could always field a strong midfield. If mcginn and Sanson are out we still have JWP, nakamba and Luiz. And Ramsey. And Buendia. Sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 45 minutes ago, Delphinho123 said: I’d honestly sell all 4 if decent bids came in. I’m probably in the minority when I say that but if it meant we could sign Matar Sarr, JWP and a left sided forward then I’d be all for it. We’re a bit bloated in the CM department and I just don’t rate Nakamba or Luiz. AEG is mostly rubbish and Wesley wasn’t good enough before his injury. It might sound like I’m being overly harsh but we’re only delaying the inevitable if we don’t get rid of them now. None of them are good enough (Luiz may come good) and were all signed for fairly cheap when we got promoted. We’ve since kicked on from then and we need to go up another level. McGinn said it today in his interview, our owners are so ambitious that if the players don’t keep improving then they’ll be replaced. Nobody is safe. Competition is everywhere. Just the way it should be. Well yes but you can't rip up half your squad every season. It takes time to bed. We should really be looking at 3-4 big signings per summer but obviously that went out of the window with Grealish going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should really be looking at 3-4 big signings per summer but obviously that went out of the window with Grealish going. That’s my point really. I think if Grealish had stayed, we’d have signed 3 first team players at most. Now that he’s gone, I think we need to almost go a bit nuclear and really overhaul the squad with the money. In an ideal world I’d like to see: OUT: Hourihane - free Wesley - loan (doubt anyone would buy him) Nakamba - 12m El Ghazi - 15m A. Ramsey (loan) IN: JWP - 40m Doucoure - 12m Damsgaard - 30m Net spend (very top line maths) - 65m. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Made In Aston Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 1 hour ago, Awol said: Fair enough, could you suggest two or three of these players, please? I'm not a professional scout and I'm sure others on this forum can suggest plenty. But, purely by the number of midfielders plying their trade around the world, I can guarantee that there will be a few that are equal to ward prowse and are affordable. With my limited knowledge I'll suggest two... Anguissa (Fulham) and Ryan Gravenberch (Ajax) and leave the rest to other VT members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
