He said he was awful, missed three one on ones, kept putting crosses over the bar and into the crowd, Lightweight, poor first touch and could pass wind 5 yards let alone a football. One to be avoided at £8m, he reckons he's probably worth a punt at about £4m as he's young, hungry and guarenteed to improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 25 June, 2013 Share Posted 25 June, 2013 I am starting to think this Wanyama soap opera is just a decoy for saints to do another deal elsewhere without media intrusion. I can see the Don pulling off a biggie by the end of the week. Just like Lovren deal there wasnt intense media speculation which allowed saints to complete a deal.

I can’t see us signing 3 defensive midfielders, so I suspect it'll be 1 from Wanyama, Nainggolan, Banega or an as yet undisclosed player.

He's ok defensively and could play deeper but you wouldn't play him without another sitting mid. Last year for Valencia he played in a more advanced position, in the hole. He likes run at people and play through balls etc. Similar in style to say Iniesta but obviously not as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window Cleaner Posted 25 June, 2013 Share Posted 25 June, 2013 It depends if Jos and Fonte stick around. even if they don't we already have 3 mainline centre backs and Stephens (I suppose). We need to shift some players out before swamping ourselves with incoming. It's going to get problematic otherwise. Need to get our ass into gear on Lee,Sharp,Barnard,Hammond,at least one of the aforementioned CBs,JonnoQuick,Gazzaniga, Martin etc cos if we don't we're going to be paying them to sit in the stands again.

If you look at these twitter accounts: https://twitter.com/oustudentvicky https://twitter.com/romseysquib It appears to either be two people on a windup (maybe) or two people conversing about picking up a player (or agent?) from London after a flight to Glasgow and dropping them off at a hotel in the New Forest. One of the tweets suggests surprise that he is English and not Scottish so at a guess I may think it is Gary Hooper.
