KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 1 minute ago, HalfTimePost said: That's a lot of squad turnover and Dean has a huge amount of work to do to get that many new bodies gelling quickly. My concern, too. It's exciting af, but we know that squad cohesion is one of DS's priorities. On the plus side, the players we have signed seem like generally good people (JWP come into this category, too, for as little as I know about him), so the atmosphere should be quite good.

MaVilla Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 tbh, i would really love JWP, however, my head tells me we have roughly 80-90m left to spend, and we desperately need a LW & DM, if we can get both of those and JWP then rock on, but ideally i wouldnt want JWP if we dont get a DM and LW (or CAM depending on how we plan to set up)..... just priorities for me, but ye....would love JWP.

Richie k Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 with him being injured now and missing southamptons opening games does that mean we cant sign him because he wouldnt pass a medical? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted August 5, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) Not exactly shocked by that. Don't blame them for keeping him. Edited August 5, 2021 by PieFacE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Oh well. Hopefully we have a few other targets to choose from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 The numbers being talked about before the Grealish transfer were high - they've no reason to let him go for anything reasonable and he's not worth 50m or so. Next! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Good player but I honestly hoped we'd go for a different model of midfielder that more suits our current weaknesses. Will not be overly sad if this doesn't happen, as long as we bring in someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted August 5, 2021 Author Share Posted August 5, 2021 I don't know who Adam Blackmore is and I don't care. Getting a read from jerkanists regarding what Aston Villa may or may not do is utterly pointless. And to suggest Southampton won't sell James Ward-Prowse at ANY PRICE is ludicrous. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy54 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Perhaps Man citeh will buy him they seem to have a bottomless pit of money and FFP does not apply to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 apparently he has a bad knee injury so will miss the start of the season anyway and it's a re-occuring problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 He did play every second of every PL game for them last season, as he did the season before that so the knee injury can't have been that serious until now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I think it's important we sign Ward Prowse this summer. He's exactly what we need to finish off this squad restructure. He's worth paying 40m for. It's not end of the world going with midfielders we've got though and trying again next summer for him. I'm not keen on Cantwell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
