I can’t help but imagine that it was probably “ bugger” in the fashion of Captain Darling writing in his diary on the way to the front for the big push in the last episode of Blackadder.
Seriously had he stayed, this morning he could have still been captain of S F C and have cemented his reputation in the history of the club in the fashion of Matt.
Instead, this mornings he is undoubtedly richer monetarily, still no nearer an England place and I will venture to suggest perhaps a little sad. |  |

Yes, I had a little thought for JWP, as it turned out, definitely the wrong move - to see the unbridled joy in Jack Stephens lifting the trophy, that could/should have been his moment. | |

Good luck to JWP but that is in the past now. I wouldn’t have him back either. |  |

At 1700 yesterday he was probably thinking the same as us: "when's the ref going to blow his f*cking whistle?" |  | | |

Wouldn’t have been at all surprised if he was actually there and I bet yes, he may have some regrets, but was delighted with the result . Lallana and others were there supporting Saints, after all.
Also we Could have done with him for the free kick and corners… |  |

Agree, we have moved on. I always wished JWP the best, but I believe Downes is a better player and added more over the season. Let's hope West Ham let him leave to join us. | | | |

Downes price will almost certainly increase now, as they will realise what they have missed
Downes or JWP? I'd go for Downes though we could do with JWP's dead balls, although strange he hasn't scored one with the Hammers to break that record this season |  | | |

He did get one direct from a cornet MLT style... | |

I would be more than happy to keep Downes and get JWP back.
Not interested in Lallana,too much like the Wallott deal. |  | | |

Mid-season, I was stuck in traffic on the M25 and flicked through a few radio stations and landed on an interview with JWP. The subject of free kicks / the Beckham record ect got discussed. Turns out he’s had to scale back the amount of time he spends on dead ball practise because it was causing a groin (think that’s right) injury so he’d had to scale things back considerably - he also said that the training was structured differently so the opportunities some weeks didn’t present themselves anyway. Add to that they keep updating the match balls season on season which can slightly affect the flight characteristics of the ball when hit so he’d need extra time practising to get the deadly accuracy back.
That’s the case for the defence milord 😇⚽️ |  |

We had to raise funds after being relegated and he was one of our salable assets. Sullemana, ABK, Onachu etc etc could only muster loan interest (or no interest for Sulemana) and we needed to lower weekly pay roll and raise funds having spent a lot last year in. I doubt JWP really wanted to leave but it was the right thing for the club at the time. We might get him back on loan with option to buy if the new West Ham manager doesn't see him fitting in... "I would" imagine that will irk at least one regular on here! | | | |

Please No!!!
I was looking forward to the season until you mentioned JWP as a possible transfer. Probably right about the groin strain twisting himself into some unholy positions attempting a DFK, certainly wouldn't pull a muscle sprinting. | |

Do we know that JWP wanted a transfer or was it the club who needed the money and asked him to move?
He certainly had a very good first half of the season at WHU - the second half perhaps not so consistent.
He would have fitted in well with the RM "way" but equally we played him in a deeper role which meant we were not getting the best out of him. WHU played him further forward which suited him and the team. Would RM have done that and would he do that if he came back to us? Who knows?
Ultimately however he is a professional player selling his skills for the best price. He may have a lingering loyalty to Saints but there is no place for that in the ruthless world of professional sport. I venture he was pleased for us but would not bother himself too much beyond that. | | | |

Call me a cynic, but it is the players that hold all the cards these days, I have no criticism of JWP, he was happy to turn out in the first game of the season and he put in a shift, but the reality is that if he had wanted to stay then he would have done so.
I don't blame him, he has given us good service in what was 11 season in the Premier League and at 28 deserved a big money move and the chance to challenge for a trophy.
I would have him back in an instant |  |

Would be suprised if West Ham wanted him out - we should 120% get him back if they did. He may not have had the set piece goals but look at his other stats: ( BBC Sport)
Assists 11- More than any other WH Player
Chances Created 83 - More than twice as many as any other WH Player
Passes - 2000 + - More than any other WH player
Pass accuracy - 90% - More than any other WH player
and 7 Goals as well
Not too shabby | | | |

He's a leader, and you can never have too many of those. |  |
