Glasgow_Saint Posted 6 July, 2013 Share Posted 6 July, 2013 Hardly fills me with dread as it will take Everton weeks to scramble together the pennies for this deal, unless of course, they are close to selling Fellaini/Baines. Not sure why the headlines reads 'Saints interest cools'. Nothing in the body of the article to suggest this, and all the stuff on the OS suggests we are very much in the hunt. Everton got 11.3m for finishing 6th! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted 6 July, 2013 Share Posted 6 July, 2013 Baines and Fellaini should raise £25m. True, but I'm sure Martinez would loathe to lose both, and unless either of these deals are close to completion, I'd be surprised if Everton were in a position to make a firm offer any time soon.

Toon Saint Posted 6 July, 2013 Share Posted 6 July, 2013 (edited) Everton got 11.3m for finishing 6th! Close to spending £5m of that on Kone. New TV deal might free up some more money for them, but can't see Kenwright (tight wad) parting with £12m + agent fees before selling.

Toon Saint Posted 6 July, 2013 Share Posted 6 July, 2013 Paid £15m for Fellaini Yeah true, but they've not got close to spending that in last 4-5 years. Moyes was always forced to be creative with finances (not in the offshore account called 'Rosie' sense) to bring new players in. I'd definitely be surprised if they brought Wanyama in before shipping Fellaini out. Definitely could not see those two in the same midfield.

Saint-Armstrong Posted 6 July, 2013 Share Posted 6 July, 2013 http://www.thesun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/sport/spl/5001128/Vics-in-talks.html VICTOR WANYAMA’S £12.5million move to Southampton is back ON. Neil Lennon revealed last night the Kenyan midfielder is holding fresh contract talks with the Premiership club. Saints tabled their whopping offer to the Parkhead club last month — which was accepted — only for the player and his agent to snub their deal. Cardiff then entered the race before pulling out last week. Lennon revealed: “We gather Southampton have reignited their interest. “If nothing materialises he will play some of the next game on Tuesday. “His fitness levels won’t be a major worry for me it’s just getting his football up to speed.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the saint in winchester Posted 7 July, 2013 Share Posted 7 July, 2013 Interesting. Are we now talking to the player, or still to that opstreporous (sp.) agent who had so much to say before? Hopefully the player will now see that Chelsea, Inter Milan and the like are not coming in, and even Cardiff are not going ahead. Come on Wanyama, sign up.

Batman Posted 7 July, 2013 Share Posted 7 July, 2013 Just read the talk celtic site Whilst I believe wanyama will improve our squad and is a very good player. Why are they saying he is really a £25m player that is good enough to walk into a top 4 side He will go for less than half that amount and so far, the real offers have been fr Cardiff and saints Why are the arsenals of this world, who like a bargain, not snapping such a player up and such a give away price?

Whoa wild man. I thought this was a forum where opinions are expressed. IMO (having seen him play several times) he's athletic but erratic in the tackle and not a good passer. If you can't win a clean tackle against Scotland prem midfielders you're gonna struggle against the prem finest. When he's not suspended he'll help our pressing game but from what I've seen he won't help us keep the ball or hit accurate passes like MS or even cork.
