King James

At last James Ward-Prowse is getting some appreciation. Enjoyed this tweet by Henry Winter: "James Ward-Prowse. Cost: £30m. Return: 9 assists, 2 goals in 15 games for #WHUFC. So far. And he brings so much more than dead-ball wizardry; also work ethic, quiet leadership and passing. Low maintenance, high yield." That seems to sum him up perfectly.

While in the Guardian Jonathan Liew wrote a whole column on JWP, wondering just what it is that makes him the Jonny Wilkinson of dead balls. No-one is quite sure what his technique is, but it seems to be working. And at £30million he has to be one of the bargains of the season.
