Turner to Palace on loan maybe a thing.
Bowler to Preston, deal that involves the last year of his contract
That'll go well with the Blackpool fans.
Might be missed among the deadline day frenzy, but 19-year-old keeper George Murray Jones on a 3+1 year deal from Man City, going to the Academy.
Good one. A real choke on a peanut moment.
Whoops, I meant Championship haha. Good slip though.
Reading online, WHU fans reckon even the one thing he's good at disappeared after a couple of months and Bowen ended up taking most of their set pieces because he was better. Ward-Prowse didn't score a single goal from a FK for them.
As a loan without obligation, I'm not too concerned. Nuno is pretty ruthless - if he doesn't cut it, he won't play.
I can't recall the last time we scored from a shot from a free kick.
Let's see:
- approaching 400 premier league appearances
- still only 29
- a ridiculously good fitness / appearance record
- double figures for goals Southampton in his two seasons before joining Wham (in the Premier league of course)
- 54 appearances and 7 goals for wham last season
- 11 England caps
- widely regarded as one of the best dead ball specialists in world football
He might be more useful than Harry Arter.
Last one I can remember: www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpgoDn2295k If Covid games even count.
Club does love some late swoopage. I saw Broja to Ipswich is back on - maybe we'll try to hijack that?
Saw one of their lot on the Twatter the other day saying it would be 'so West Ham' if Ward-Prowse was to leave without having scored a direct free-kick for them.
It would be so West Ham if he then scored a free kick for us versus West Ham….
Barry Girtles will at least be happy if it goes through. He was banging on last pre-season about how Forest should be targeting Ward-Prowse after Southampton were relegated.
Wiki also tells me that he scored direct from a corner against Wolves in April, so not entirely barren on the set-piece-goal front.
He played 37 times for West Ham and scored seven times, so I'm also not sure I'm buying this line that his time in east London was a failure (which seems to be prevalent on the socials, for what they're worth).
