What on earth were West Ham thinking? From their perspective as promotion rivals, JWPs transfer home to Saints now looks like potentially the worst piece of transfer business they’ve ever done.

I’m not sure. Have you seen how much money they have spunked historically on failed transfers? JWP’s probably not even in their top 20. They’re a horrifically run club.

Although yes, strengthening us almost for free while losing a good player and writing off tens of millions into the bargain, is some shocking business, I agree. 

Even more so when it seems it was because the manager somehow had a personal problem with him even though every other manager says what a model pro he is (slapheaaaaaaaaad)

I didn't want him back. I was wrong. £800k is a ludicrous bargain. Yesterday he was everywhere. Loving the cross field passing and willingness to play it forwards.

I suspect West Ham let him go for 800k to get his wages off their books. The low transfer fee allowed us to pay JWP a very high wage so I think we cut a deal that we'd only take him for the 800k. If they'd asked for what he's really worth in today's market coupled with his high wage we'd have walked away.

In the position he plays he is head and shoulders above any player in this division in the same position. 
 

 

Calm down…..

He’s not even the best central midfielder at the club, yet alone head and shoulders above the rest of the league.

Which central midfielder is better?  Genuine question as I don’t think any of them are currently!  Jander has the potential to be better and I think Brag has a pretty high ceiling but JWP would be among the first names in the team sheet for me!

Flynn Downes and JWP are certainly 2 of the very best in this division, Jander  is up there but still more to come and Bragg has great potential.

We’re currently blessed with an abundance of talent in that area.

JWP for Charles

 

Schlott for THB
