If we paid even £10M for JWP, it'd be a waste of money.
Shelvey is Howe's JWP.
Howe wants a player to pass vertically in midfield, and alongside a runner.
What fucked Howe in Bournemouth is that Billing from Huddersfield - could neither pass nor run; just loafed around gormless for 30 games a season.
Surman(Lerma) was always his passer; Arter/Gosling(Billing) was always his cunt - runner. When he swapped a midfield of Surman/Arter that worked trenches in L1 to away against Chelsea, for a midfield of Billing/Lerma.
Philip Billing would rather pick his physio's ear than track a midfield runner. He's about 7'2 but weak as piss, can't pass, can't run - just spends 64mins looking like a midfielder.
Forget the height, but that's Willock.
