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.

I hope that Emery is in full charge of transfers from now on. No way would he be spending big money on the likes of Ward Prowse.
I don't see use being in for Ward Prowse. He's 29, he doesn't offer a significant upgrade on what we have already bar direct free kicks, and even if Soton go down he's still going to cost a fair penny. Plus, of what he offered was that important, why hasn't anyone in to scab 6 been sniffing around?I dunno, I just think whilst he might've been a target when Joe was here, Kamara wasn't, Dougie was a couple of years younger, and we were trying to buy players who'd get us from 11th to 7th in the league ...
I like Ward-Prowse, and I think he's a better player than some are suggesting, but I still don't think he's what we need to improve us. What he does works in that team (and the team is built around him to make the most of it) but our style is different enough that I don't think it would translate all that easily. I suspect that's the problem a lot of teams have with him which is why there's no great noise linking him to top half clubs despite him, on paper, looking like someone they should look at.

I like WP but positionally it is not a priority.Wide forward Right back Centre Half.
I really like Ward-Prowse but I’d rather have Guendouzi and/or the bloke who scored that worldie for Sporting last week.

Two real quality players there could really make a difference I think. I’d like to see more of Carlos before buying another centre-half.I’m looking forward to finding out what UE thinks the priorities are.
