The transfer process reflects Martin's playing style. We fanny around between goalkeeper and defenders, backwards and forwards without any real progress being made. This goes on for sometime and a midfielder is occasionally involved but it's all at a snails pace. Just when we finally get to an advanced position and a forward is linked, it goes all the way back to the keeper.
Just like watching England but without the talented players. Should Martin be Southgare's replacement?
 
Spent a lot of time on the bench, berated by their self entitled fans and is further away from the England squad than he was when with us. Only his bank balance has been a success
Astonishing, given his last season with us that he didn’t add to THAT free kick record.
 
Didn't JWP score direct from a corner for Spam, which isn't classed as a free kick? So he still retains his 'dead ball' skills, although he hasn't got any closer to Beckham's record.

Hasn't he already equalled the record? Next one breaks it?
 
In 23/34 Ward-Prowse played 37 games and got 7 goals and 7 assists.

22/23 was 38 games, 9 goals, 4 assists
21/22 was 38 games, 10 goals, 5 assists
20/21 was 38 games, 8 goals, 7 assists

Overall that seems like a fairly standard season for him really. And I think he had a few little runs for us where he got 4 in 5 games or something so some inconsistency across the season doesn't feel that unusual.

I completely agree, and thanks for digging up those stats. I think JWP’s main problem as far as the West Ham fans goes is that he isn’t Declan Rice.

West Ham presumably have different expectations. Especially as he had a real flying start. I think a disproportionate chunk of those goals and assists happened in the very beginning of the season

Yeah, which is why I mentioned remembering short purple patches from him when he was here. If he'd had a good run at the end of the season or in the middle that might have been looked at differently.
