I'm sure Jordan Henderson is ****ting himself right now thinking someone slightly younger can come in and pass backwards and sideways just as good

JWP basically combines all of the strengths and drawbacks of mid/late career Henderson and Milner. He's a perfect fit for the guy that plays in every big game for them, while causing their fans to bemoan the fact that he plays every big game for them.

If we get more than £35m for JWP then I'll join others here in eating my head.
 
If Saints have set JWPs price at £50M, then to me it looks like they have no interest in selling our captain. The vultures can pay up, or shut up! Hopefully Saints don't cave in.

Think they've just said this so that other clubs don't waste our time with sub-35m offers. I'd imagine we'd take something around 38-40m though. I guess it depends on James. The club have obviously promised him they won't stand in his way, but at the same time, he has to respect that it's all business, and he is an asset that we need to make significant money on.

Very true that his chances have been few and far between, I just feel he looks way out of his depth, he's never going to be the most elegant of players but his positioning, hold up play and even heading looks very poor. Added to that if he plays were forced into playing the long ball game.
To be fair to him, if those around didn't seem to know how to play together, what chance did he have? You may be right but the new manager will have to work it all out, we hope. (A Saints essential virtue)
