Why get a 25 year old to understudy for 2 years? I'd rather get a 21 year old, or 23 year old to understudy. Again, massive issues over chiesas injury history

Easy answer there - It’s Binomial.
Well because every squad needs it's fair share of experienced players as well, plus he wouldn't completely be banished for those 2 years....he'd chip in here and there Origi style and build his name into a cult hero.
RB/CB
Ah... now me likey
Right. Like he actually starts in both positions equally and can play CB on both sides.
Bloody hell, I've been doing the same thing.
Just to be difficult, he's not premier league midfielder James Ward-Prowse any more
He’d be an excellent addition imo. New James Milner.
I don't think they're similar at all. Milner had it all. Ward-Prowse takes a mean free kick
Milner was a far better player.
More from a professional point of view.
He strikes me as a model pro.
It's a no from me. Milner was brought in when we were on the up, so needed someone to help instil that mentality. Ward-prowse has just been relegated and overall isn't a big enough talent.
No chance for me
We so are going to buy this sort of middling shit.
Not only do I think it’s a huge chance, I think he’d be superb in our system for us.
Yep, here we go, knew the Thuram/Kone stuff was a smokescreen for JWP, had to be.
He could definitely fit in our system well, and he's definitely better than Trent at free kicks. He isnt injury prone. He could fill in at RB too.
Hes not very good at football, he's at his peak or just past it, he's not fast, he's not athletic, he's weak, and he's tiny. Lots of pros and cons to weigh out for our uncompromising ambitious team.

Didn't I see some amazing stats for W-P last season for distance run etc.?
I don't mind Ward-Prowse for us but 50m is a pisstake and anything more than 25m should have us looking elsewhere.
A value signing. A Milner replacement. But not a major investment.

I believe the same sort of accusations were levelled at Milner before we signed it.
I am not against it at all, fills a space in the squad. Leadership material, dead ball specialist. For £25m and the 4th midfielder signing. I'd give it an A- rating.
We do need Thuram and Kone to give it that kind of rating though. If it was just Mac Allister and JWP. Then that'd be a D+ kind of summer.

Difference was milner was free. Ward-prowse would command less wages I'm sure, but what does he offer? Experience of winning? Nope. Versatility? Nope? Obscene stamina and a model pro? Maybe?
If he's like milner he's the Poundland version, but would cost a lot fucking more
