Jander can tackle, Charles likes to drive forward. JWP has neither of these qualities. Would basically be draining any profit away.

No thanks, would rather give Bragg the chance to step up

Not for me. Another Walcott/Lallana signing. Plus, he is the epitome of crab football. Don’t want more of that.

JWP was a slow propaganda player with a heck of a dead ball delivery. These days he seems to be just a slower propaganda player - would be perfect for a Russell Martin team, but for a Tonda team will just frustrate by not moving the ball forward.

I don’t remember that at all from the first game. We beat them 1-0 at SMS around October time. Allerdyce looked like he was going to explode. We drew 1-1 at Upton Park, where Matt Taylor got sent off and we equalised late on, Allerdyce was moaning about the ref in that one after. Maybe that’s the controversial stuff you remember?

Yep that raised an eyebrow when reading Blackmore's comments, JWP frustratingly didn't do that enough when here. Can't really see (or the need for) it happening, if it somehow did he'd get my support, It might rekindle his form at a club he was comfortable at and he's surely a decent talent for Championship level. But those wages.....

Yeah agree , don’t want him back. He left us in the shit. I really thought Romeu coming back would offer something as a sub, look how that turned out. JWP has declined as much as Romeu yet he was never as good in the first place. Need to stop going backwards and start signing players for the future.

He gets rave reviews every time he plays for Northern Ireland, nice assist vs France last night

Agree with many others about the flat build up to this World Cup, so much about this tournament is just crap. I felt the same about Qatar but did find myself getting into it more than I thought I would as it went on. Don't know how younger fans feel about it today, World Cups and FA Cup finals felt so special when growing up. I was around for 1966 but remember nothing about it (although I was given a World Cup Willie glove puppet!), 1970 was the first time I became aware of it and really started to get into football. There was something exciting hearing commentary that sounded like it was coming down a ropey phone line that made everything seem so far away and exotic. As I was young and just so into anything football, the 1974 is my favourite ever WC closely followed by 1978 (even though England failed to reach either, I was devastated). 1982 and 1990 are also up there as most-liked. Collecting Esso World Cup coins, small player bust figures and filling Panini sticker albums were all the rage in our house in the early seventies.

No thanks on Jwp. Not the player he was, hence his inability to get game time across 3 clubs and has a massive salary. Leave west ham to deal with that quandary.

Here we go again with the JWP links. Funny how Blackmore claims JWP "can get the ball forward quickly" out of everything that's the thing he does the least! Wouldn't mind him as a loan to cover Jander or Charles (whichever one doesn't leave) but that's about it.

Really not sure what to make of our Spygate situation getting likened to the activities of a sexual predator, and not for the first time on this message board either. I also didn't expect to see this being glossed over as cancel culture. I haven't watched the doc and until recently I knew very little of Sullivan's activities beyond him being dubbed one of the dildo brothers, but I have skim-read the article below and it doesn't look good. Strikes me as a long-term exercise of various groups of people content to sweep it all under the rug. This includes the police, who yet again have turned a blind eye to reports for decades - deja vu, anyone? https://www.patreon.com/posts/david-sullivan-143515737 If someone's good reputation is being trashed, that implies the person had one in the first place, not sure that's the case here. Seems like his activities were an open secret, and that's probably an understatement. Karren Brady certainly knew when it was time to cut and run, and considering she has worked with him for her entire career, I think that probably says it all for me.

Truly this. Manning swings in a great free kick both sides of the pitch. Dont personally think he does great corners which is a surprise. Would I want JWP back? Not a chance as he left when we needed him most and he was well on his way to MLT status but he fucked that up by leaving us.

Vigour

Yeah, watched it tonight and where’s the evidence? No allegiance to Sullivan in the slightest and certainly not West Ham but police have investigated and came up with nothing. There’s 7 women that say this and that and maybe they are being truthful, but maybe they are not, who really knows? But shit sticks. Not sure how the BBC and The Times think this is worthy of someone’s reputation being trashed.

Sensible signing.

If jwp wants to play to TE tactics would be a good move but he would have to realise Manning takes freekicks as well & Larin is a proper target man

I think there's definitely teams at the bottom end of the Premier League who would take a punt on him. Useful squad player, not that expensive, showed he can do it against Arsenal

As this year's Romeo / Lallana / Walcott etc., I think we could do worse, if he's cheap enough and is on the bench more often than on the pitch ... But yeah, not a priority.

The books are going to have to be balanced somewhere, I’d much rather do this and keep players like Scienza. We got promoted before with Aribo, Smallbone and Downes, we can get promoted next year with JWP, Bragg and Downes. There would probably be a fourth option too, for a reasonable price or on loan.

“Testing the waters” in regards to JWP, or any player linked with coming back is a tad over the top. Seriously if you were brokering a deal would you really give a shit what people thought? Probably not, so long as you get paid a handsome wedge.

I mean he's no George Long...

Keep coming back to this! Absolutely well up for next season now 😇

We're more supermarket chicken from the flames, considering their success.
