I may be wrong here, but ive heard West Ham are turning down Moyes request for him. Rumoured because at 28 years old they feel he is too old for the investment. Good god, why? I've watched him lots over the years, including at some live games and, taking the team around him into account, he's an absolutely fantastic talent.

He's not very error prone, creative, energetic and his set pieces alone would walk him into most squads if he was Brazilian. He's a club captain and still ever improving in aspects of his game his each year. I'm not calling him the worlds best,, but remember how players like Modric and Pirlo jumped up a notch later in their careers, well I think with good enough team around him, Ward-Prowse could evolve in such a way and be a great investment over 5-6 years at least.

Sod West Ham, I would have considered him over mount for United. He'd be the most reliable member of the Chelsea squad right now. Is Rice worth 2.5 Ward Prowse's? Whats going on? Am I missing something?
