If we were interested in a 10 goal a season PL midfielder who wasn't called 'James Ward-Prowse' I suspect there would be quite a few more "yes please"s on here...

All day for a medical...? We've gone from one extreme to another it would seem!

Isn't that more to do with us tending to play him as a holding midfielder rather than as a 'No.8', the latter of which I think he's far more suited to...?

I reckon there's a chance that Archer's good performance last night* might have helped swayed the club's priorities in another direction? I certainly feel less doubtful than I was previously that Archer could fulfill the 'centre forward' role. (*The usual "but it was against Cardiff's second 11" caveat, of course...)

What type of striker did you have in mind? Winger? Centre forward? A 'No.10'...?

Would've thought it would have the opposite effect?

F*** it... I know I've been banging on all window about signing a Lambert-esque centre forward but let's just get everyone's favourite son-in-law back into the fold instead, play him higher up the pitch, get him taking the free-kicks again and bag the c.10 goals per season we know he's capable of. Get it done SR, you cheeky rascals! Are you with me @Lord Duckhunter or what...? 😁

👀 🤔

As if by magic...

Agree, but I would imagine he'll be too knackered to start on Saturday...?

For the love of almighty God, just announce the new goalkeeper. FFS.

Source?

Take your pick... (not all wingers, obviously)

True story 👍

Wasn't it reported recently that the formalities with Garcia have been done and dusted in advance, so it's just a case of signing on the dotted line now? As such, one would like to think that things can move quite rapidly now...

Carsley just name-dropped KWP in his England press conference as a player he's impressed with; a defender who is also comfortable playing in midfield. FFS Lee, at least let us get the window out of the way before you raise his profile!

There's defo some valid logic in that...

Looks that way. Getting well fed up with these failed attempts to sign a keeper. SR out!

Just get him signed already, FFS!

I've always felt JWP plays better as an '8' rather than a '6', that's for sure....

Is that the same Martin that keeps telling us with a straight face that Ross Stewart is "two weeks away" and that we're not in the market for signing players who are likely to break our wage structure (ref. Ramsdale)...?

And I'm interested in what type of toaster he likes.... Any of these perhaps?

This is taking a long time, have we missed out on him?
