Marsdinho Posted 3 July, 2013 Posted 3 July, 2013 I think Hilton-In-Chilworth is just outside Mombasa
Big Bad Bob Posted 3 July, 2013 Posted 3 July, 2013 Meh, I can't see anything on Twitter about Vic being at the Hilton. Just repeated quotes about Cardiff bidding £11m for him and Liverpool fans slitting their throats that they haven't got him...
Saint Charlie Posted 3 July, 2013 Posted 3 July, 2013 Ha - Liverpool are getting rid of Shelvey for £6m to Swansea, good business that.
TK8267 Posted 3 July, 2013 Posted 3 July, 2013 Did a quick search looks like its all originated from the most trustworth of sources football-rumors 03 Jul 2013 00:52:44 Wanyama staying at Hilton in Chilworth. Seen eating in restaurant earlier. Def him. Unmistakable hair!

Saint Charlie Posted 3 July, 2013 Posted 3 July, 2013 who would u say is the winner in that deal, charles? Probably Shelvey's Agent.

LGTL Posted 3 July, 2013 Posted 3 July, 2013 Pretty sure any potential signings stay at the Limewood, I know they did last summer anyway.
Big Bad Bob Posted 3 July, 2013 Posted 3 July, 2013 Pretty sure any potential signings stay at the Limewood, I know they did last summer anyway. They did, until the J-Rod "security" leak
sotonjoe Posted 3 July, 2013 Posted 3 July, 2013 Obviously the Celtic wages ARE bad if he can only afford to stay at the Hilton.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 3 July, 2013 Posted 3 July, 2013 03 Jul 2013 00:52:44 Wanyama staying at Hilton in Chilworth. That doesn't sound like a sober decision to me.
Restark19 Posted 3 July, 2013 Posted 3 July, 2013 (edited) reports state he's currently moving in to his new rental property in the local area, this image is proof, judging by the hair anyway Edited 3 July, 2013 by Restark19

Apart from that, it's a nice house, where is it? Chilworth?

Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 3 July, 2013 Posted 3 July, 2013 Just typed Kenyan into Google translate. The result said 'Trouble'.
Essruu Posted 3 July, 2013 Posted 3 July, 2013 Pretty sure any potential signings stay at the Limewood, I know they did last summer anyway. No, not all of them stay there.
Charlie Wayman Posted 3 July, 2013 Posted 3 July, 2013 Pretty sure any potential signings stay at the Limewood, I know they did last summer anyway. THAT'S LIME WOOD BY THE WAY.It used to be the Parkhill until they put disinfectant down the loos.
Professor Posted 3 July, 2013 Posted 3 July, 2013 There's a report that the Cardiff bid is £11m, although that's just as likely to be an old story as it is to be untrue but much as I want to see SFC make some signings, I'm still not a fan of Wanyama and feel we could do better if Cortese is really working at it. Last season we had already dropped points by the time we made the final signings and we'd dropped even more before the new players were settled in. Let's not have more of the same this year because as the days pass the potential targets get their future settled elsewhere.

Tokyo-Saint Posted 3 July, 2013 Posted 3 July, 2013 What's he doing having midnight feasts in Chilworth if he is joining Cardiff? The lad has no sense of positioning, let's move on to other targets.
sotonjoe Posted 3 July, 2013 Posted 3 July, 2013 THAT'S LIME WOOD BY THE WAY.It used to be the Parkhill until they put disinfectant down the loos. Actually, it's "Limewood" seeing as we're being pedantic.

Shroppie Posted 3 July, 2013 Posted 3 July, 2013 Says he is a new Cardiff player. Any idea how credible/official that could be?
Saint Charlie Posted 3 July, 2013 Posted 3 July, 2013 Any idea how credible/official that could be? Not sure. An ITK on Cardiff forum says he hasnt signed but they are very confident they will sign him.
Batman Posted 3 July, 2013 Posted 3 July, 2013 Not sure. An ITK on Cardiff forum says he hasnt signed but they are very confident they will sign him. how will celtics fans deal with that. a player who is easily good enough for top 4 of the prem is being signed by cardiff. im sure he is a good player. but if he is good enough to walk into the arsenal or chelsea teams, why are they not snapping the celtic hand off for circa £12m
Gorgiesaint Posted 4 July, 2013 Posted 4 July, 2013 Malky MacKay just been 'interviewed' by Alan Brazil on Talksport - not a mention of Wanyama. Did say they had a fee agreed for Tom Ince but that he'd been on holiday so speaking to him over the next few days.

Essruu Posted 4 July, 2013 Posted 4 July, 2013 Surely if Cardiff want him that much and the Player wants to go there they will just up their bid. It could also come down to the instalment plan. Maybe we are able and/or willing to pay a bigger sum up front.
Saint Charlie Posted 4 July, 2013 Posted 4 July, 2013 It could also come down to the instalment plan. Maybe we are able and/or willing to pay a bigger sum up front. Quite possibly. Which then makes it odd that we couldn't agree terms - unless Cardiff are willing to bung the agent some cash. What would be the point of agreeing a very attractive fee with Celtic if we had no idea of what Wanyama and the Agent were looking for.
Olallana Posted 4 July, 2013 Posted 4 July, 2013 Quite possibly. Which then makes it odd that we couldn't agree terms - unless Cardiff are willing to bung the agent some cash. What would be the point of agreeing a very attractive fee with Celtic if we had no idea of what Wanyama and the Agent were looking for. Could it be that agent said that they wanted a certain type of wages for the player, the club might have accepted that and when talks continued THEN the agent said "oh and yes I want this for myself too".....(not in those obvious words though I would presume).... And that made the club to back off the deal cause they were accepting the "normal percentage" for the agent fee....
Giordano Posted 4 July, 2013 Posted 4 July, 2013 To put this into perspective, you can pick up 29 year old Mathieu Flamini for virtually "free" as a Defensive midfielder if we really want another one. He has loads of experience, undoubted skill, and can do the DM job at least as good as Cork.....Has just turned down a AC Milan two year extension at $150,000/month cos he wants three years at £280,000/month. If we got him for "free" on £200,000 a month that means the £12,000,000 we would previously be giving to Celtic could go towards the superstriker and the full back.There is no resale value with Flamini and he is injury prone - but without a fee (or very little) it might be sensible, he would certainly add European and EPL "know-how" to our squad.

If you pay a player like him that kind of wages it will soon be very expensive cause you would have to pay a lot of players even more. And is those figures net or not....

Would doubt if we have many first team regulars on less than that. works out at about 22K£ a week. 280K£ a month would be more than double that so I suspect you've got your currencies mixed up. Why would Flamini want to be paid in sterling by an Italian club anyway. Anyway at say an average of 30K£ a week with bonuses he would be an excellent addition for Saints.

Window Cleaner Posted 4 July, 2013 Posted 4 July, 2013 not good enough for Arsenal, certainly not good enough for us (said with tongue firmly in cheek). he was good enough for Arsenal, just didn't want to stay there and get paid in bottle tops and beer-mats. Arsenal do not pay at all well which is why they have difficulty signing and keeping top players. Italian clubs now pay badly except for top top Italian players which is why they also are having difficulty getting top players.

DuncanRG Posted 4 July, 2013 Posted 4 July, 2013 Sid Lowe and Tancredi Palmeri have both said in the last few minutes that it's very close to completion.
Window Cleaner Posted 4 July, 2013 Posted 4 July, 2013 Sid Lowe and Tancredi Palmeri have both said in the last few minutes that it's very close to completion. not convinced that Higuain earns an awful lot at Real so Arsenal probably won't have much difficulty meeting his demands. If you believe Marca and As he's on a bit over 50K£ a week at Real so Arsenal should be able to land him at 70K a week fairly easily. In fact he'll be a snip compared to Rooney who'll want 200K+
Jimmy_D Posted 4 July, 2013 Posted 4 July, 2013 For us or Cardiff? Higuain for Arsenal by the look of it. (wrong thread maybe?)
VectisSaint Posted 4 July, 2013 Posted 4 July, 2013 Quite possibly. Which then makes it odd that we couldn't agree terms - unless Cardiff are willing to bung the agent some cash.

Saint Charlie Posted 4 July, 2013 Posted 4 July, 2013 We agreed terms with Celtic ages ago. That is not the issue. Yes. But what is the point in doing that (apparantly a few weeks of talks) if as soon as we hear the player/agent demands we cannot fulfil them. Agent would have known of our interest and we would have spoken to him whilst dealing with Celtic. The Agent clearly encouraged us as we wouldnt have bothered with agreeing a fee otherwise.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 4 July, 2013 Posted 4 July, 2013 If I thought I was going to get a million quid out of it, I would encourage us as well Charlie. I bet he is encouraging everyone with money, left right and centre. Reminds me of a recent trip to Amsterdam.

Must be some sort of initiation rite to the EPL. You are not one of us until you've squandered 12 million on a maybe/maybe not player.:D
