there’s zero reason for saints to be riding to West Ham’s rescue in taking on jwp’s massive wages, after multiple years of him showing no sign of being the same player he was at his peak with us.
We kept 3 strikers this season and we'll do so again. I'd assume one of bbd, downs,archer will stay after we replace stewart. I'd assume too we'd prefer to cash in on BBd and archer given their contract situation.
I don’t think it should be but equally I can see rooney’s point when in the modern game outfield players can get sent off for winning the ball but be done for excessive force/endangering opponent.
