I don’t see where he fits us, doesn’t really have the athleticism of our 8 and lacks defensive awareness for the 6. Wouldn’t surprise me if he ended up here though.

I’d agree he’s no athletic monster like Willock or Joelinton but I doubt he’s any less athletic than Bruno is (in fact he’s statistically the fittest player in the premier league). He can definitely play our system and would give us that little bit of extra vision/ ability on the ball in midfield. Not to mention his set-pieces and leadership.

The Bruno comparison is interesting for sure, but given Bruno has been playing as a 6 the comparison is lacking somewhat. If we push Bruno to an 8 I fancy he would get quite a few more open player goal contributions than JWP would too. JWP would be a great squad option but he’s on a forgone on Soton and I’m certain would want to be more than a rotation player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s literally been the number 1 player for distance covered in the PL for something like 3 years running now. Ridiculous engine and that’s without mentioning his elite passing ability. He’s the rich man’s Longstaff we need for balance in that midfield 3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieDazzler Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 As for JWP I think he falls into the “good player but not good value at the price they’d want” category. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 I'm not sure JWP would fancy it even if we were after him; in fact if I was betting I'd plump on him just staying at Southampton. He seems to relish the responsibility he has at that club and might feel duty-bound to stay and fight for promotion, after admitting that the squad basically hadn't tried hard enough to ensure survival. He's also presumably had other chances to leave previously and not done so. He's never left the south coast. Might not fancy up-rooting to the North East to be a squad player after a lifetime of being the first name on the teamsheet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Go for Lavia from them otherwise the days of JWP coming here are over. If we are to keep the high octane Eddie press our 8s have to be machines, preferably with pace and strength. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just out of interest, have any big clubs been seriously interested in signing him? Pretty sure he would have left if they had. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
