I genuinely believe there was a part of him that wanted to stay and get us back to the PL. But unfortunately there was a bigger part that wanted to have as a good a chance as possible of going to the Euros next summer. So I don't begrudge him the move at all. Don't get me wrong I wish it wasn't West Ham but he deserves to be playing top flight football. All the best Prowsie.
 
As sad about JWP's departure as I was about Morgan's, perhaps possibly less.

JWP is a great player but it was wrong to make him Captain as he isn't captain material and it took a lot out of his game.

I just refuse to have heroes now.

That doesn't mean I don't wish him well.

I will applaud him should we ever see him at St Mary's and thank him for everything he gave to our club.

I thought about Morgan today too. It feels similar, and I hope James has more luck than our lovely French friend had.

Lovely young man of whom we should always be proud to say he was 'Made in Southampton'

Good luck, James. Smash that record and get back in the England squad
 
I've never rated him as highly as some do but you could never fault his professionalism or commitment to the club and he's been a fantastic servant. The free kicks were a hell of a party trick too.

Think he's got himself a good move in West Ham too and I hope he does well there.
