I'd imagine he'll be just fine. Parting ways was obviously the right call for everybody involved and he hasn't done himself any favors, but the way he's been turned into an internet meme still was pretty ridiculous. I think going to West Ham is the right move for him and I'd actually be more surprised if he didn't do well there.
Ward-Prowse is a decent piece of business too. That one will obviously suck for Southampton, but I'm happy he'll still play in the PL next season.
