James Ward-Prowse has been a part of numerous conversations throughout Graham Potter's stint as well as the very short current tenure under Nuno Espírito Santo.
The Portuguese manager stamped his foot on the floor and, as his first action of being a Hammers manager, he decided not to let Ward-Prowse travel with the team to the fixture against Everton and it seems that this will become a regular occurrence according to recent history.
Nuno did address this and vocalised that 'they spoke' and that 'he understood'.
Perhaps they agreed upon that Ward-Prowse will only have to wear a sign that says Just Walking-Past whilst manoeuvring around the team during training.
As well as his exit from the squad, Nuno is reportedly informing JWP that it's best he should find another club in January, in which his boyhood club, Southampton, have already reported interest, as well as numerous other sides such as Burnley and Bournemouth.
Before the arrival of Nuno Espirito Santo, Graham Potter, the day before he was sacked, said: "James Ward-Prowse helps us in and out of possession and also with the group in terms of being a leader and a person that is well respected. I think he plays a fantastic role for us"
West Ham United were interested in selling Ward-Prowse during the summer under Graham Potter, but no one was happy to match the Hammers' asking price, subsequently leaving the Englishman to stay. But with the outs of Potter and ins with Nuno, West Ham are expected to cut their losses and an exit for JWP in January is imminent

What the heck happened to him?
When we got hold of him he was well on target to beat Beckhams tally of assists, came into our team and was on fire, so much so that he was being touted for the England team with disbelief that Henderson was getting in the team ahead of him. Then came Lopetegui, loaned out to Forest and the wheels just fell off.
But even more baffling was Potters inexplicable perseverance in selecting him when it was obvious his confidence was shot. I do, in fact, have a little sympathy for the lad. Needs a manager who can put a comforting arm around him and bring the real JWP back. And that certainly ain't Nuno
