James Ward-Prowse

When was the last time Southampton controlled a game in midfield?

Scoring 30 yard free kicks is fucking pointless if you are losing 3-1 to a team who usually can’t score to save their life.

Haha! Not even close to being good enough for this version of City.
Deadballs are all well and good if you're a midtable team desperate for the odd goal but not really something we tend to rely on.

Set pieces = Hollywood
Open play = Borehamwood

I'd have this lad in a heartbeat. He can tackle, pass, cross and shoot, whilst his energy level and situational awareness look of the level that would be required to play with us.

It's a team game. Ward-Prowse is a very good player & we've been credibly linked with him in the past (hence the thread), but he's in a poor side. They were controlling plenty of games when they were in the top 4 a year ago and flying high, but they had a bunch of injuries and sold Ings.

He's one of the best pressing midfielders in the world, he's technically excellent, and I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if he was linked to us as a back up to Rodri after Fernandinho retires.

Totally see Pep turning him into a RB, and play that inside DM/Passer role. Just for the lols.

He’s got a nice name though

He seems tailor made for Liverpool. Will be shocked if they dont try to sign him.Quality player but no real place in our squad for him.

I suggested half joking but partly very seriously Adama for this in another thread but I like this idea too
