January Transfer Window - The Verdict.

Most other Premier League fans think Big Emi is a twat, whereas we all love him. Similar story with Zaha I think.

Yes but do his team mates?

Why wouldn't they?

Because he is a twat.

I don't think you've listened very carefully.  Off the pitch he's widely considered to be an extremely nice bloke.

Or we go for someone more experienced let go by CL team and I think Pulisic would suit us down to the ground with how he drifts off forward line and from out wide. Only issue is he has had plenty of injuries in last two years. Chelsea will surely sell him in the summer as he's been there four years now and the endless attacking signings they've made.

It might just be my perception but Pulisic has always struck me as a player who goes missing an awful lot.

For me he is one of those players where you never really understand what he 'does'.

Yes I have listened “ carefully” to people with a different opinion.

I think Ward Prowse is a viable option for if Southampton were relegated, he would come at a lesser price than the 25m we once offered.
I'd welcome him as an addition to the midfield even if it was at 25m

I think Ward-Prowse made more sense when we had Grealish in the team given the obscene number of free kicks he won. I dunno, I just imagine he'd not be as useful under Emery. Might be wrong.

That's a good point regarding all the free kicks.
We need to start giving the ball to Ramsey more so he can drive forward as the only way opposition seems to stop him is by fouling!

On linked midfielders, I'm not impressed with USA international Weston McKennie and never have been. On loan at Leeds on audition for sale from Juventus, he has no issue physically, but I don't think he has the technical ability and would sooner have McGinn. No thanks.

Don't think he is good enough for us, mate. Set pieces aside he is very average. Plus Luiz is becoming very sharp at set pieces and for me is a far superior player generally than JWP.

Agreed, can't see him being the sort of player Emery would be after.

Agreed, wouldn't be keen on us signing JWP at all. Then there's the 'golf swing' goal celebration.

Agreed. A goal once in a while direct from free kick would be nice, but then I’d see that celebration and be forced to pray that VAR rules it out.

Only Leicester and Southampton have scored more goals from direct free kicks than us this season. We've also scored a couple direct from corners.  We're not doing too bad with shots from dead balls this season :-)

[Toronto Villa]

Doesn’t Ward Prowse have some of the highest distance covered stats in the league? I don’t think it’s fair that he's just about the set pieces.

[Footy-Vill]

JWP will be 29 in November. He been wise to move on now from Saints be it us or some other club this summer

Yes, he is more than just free kicks.

I think we have only scored one goal this season from a free kick (?)- Digne - so increasing that thread by 4 or 5 fold would not be bad either.
