team-saint Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 2 hours ago, S-Clarke said: I just don't know where he fits. It feels like we've moved on from him as a squad. If it's a choice between attacking reinforcements and JWP I'd almost certainly float to the attacking reinforcements. Does Ward-Prowse not count as an attacking reinforcement? He's not a striker obviously, but has an average of 8.5 PL goals per season over the last four years - it wouldn't surprise me if none of our forwards got that many this year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 1 hour ago, derry said: I can understand the sentiments but Edozie is our go to on the left. His footwork is dazzling but his output is below zero. He needs sending out on loan to learn beating his opponent means nothing if the resulting pass if there is one goes to an opponent. Fraser is a good footballer that utilises his lack of pace by checking out onto his right foot and putting in dangerous accurate balls. I'm with you on Edozie. I love that he is willing to try to beat players, but his judgement as to what is achievable isn't great, which leads to him running into the second or third defender. He could make it as Prem player, but I didn't see any real improvement over the course of last season. He might simply just not be quite good enough. I'm not Fraser's biggest fan. He's too ordinary for my taste, lacking pace and tracks. I think his crossing is overrated, but what he does do is make lost of off the ball runs on the shoulder of the full back. Some are found some not, but he at least is giving midfielders an option. As we saw with England this summer, if you don't have the off ball movement, the ballplayers have no one to pass to. We seemed to be loaded with decent (for the championship) wide player last season, but we have failed to upgrade ion that position and now look a little flat. If we continue to pose little threat, it won't be long before people are calling to see Sulemana get another chance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Fan CaM Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Always thought Ward-Prowse as a bit of a luxury player - one that a relegation scrapping club could not afford in the side. Not changed that view even though his free-kicks would come in handy. Think we’ve moved on - at least I hope we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusic Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 All gone quiet on Yuri Alberto - guessing with the logistics etc that will not happen now...and I guess our budget is significantly different than it was when we though Bijlow was coming in.

We've got Suguwara, KWP, Taylor and Bree. Stephens and THB can also cover full back if rqd. Either Bree or Manning will go. I think the club were fully expecting KWP to go, which is why we acted pretty sensibly to bring in Suguwara early doors - but it looks like we'll have to fit both in. Not a bad position to be in.

He can do that role, I've always thought he's better in advanced midfield off of the right. We do win our fair share of corners and free kicks too, so potentially JWP for his delivery alone is worth a fair few goals. It's a odd way of looking at it, but we could look at it as buying a specialist number 9 to score goals (we're shopping in the dregs now with very limited $$$), or we bring in a set piece specialist on loan to bring more out of what we have. (and he will add goals himself) I still think it's intriguing that the all but certain loan deal for Ramsdale is actually a perm. They're keeping that slot free for something. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winnersaint Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 My take on JWP is that had he stayed last season Smallbone would have not got a look in at least not on a regular basis. I like Smallbone and kind of hoped he could kick on and become almost a natural replacement for JWP but there are sufficient question marks about his capacity to do do at this level. I like his late arrivals in the box last season and he ultimately did us proud in the play-offs, but Id swap in a heart beat for JWP. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
