SuperMikey Posted 10 July, 2013 Share Posted 10 July, 2013 Posted this the other day, how I see Wanyama fitting into our team: (By the way, think he'll be an excellent signing for us. The kind of player we've been crying out for at times) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Posted 10 July, 2013 Share Posted 10 July, 2013 Fluid formations and free roles are ok going forward, but less so defensively. Who gives width to cover the full backs and track the opposing full back? On paper that line up presumably leaves it to Lallana and Gaston which means that in reality they're starting wide and to a large extent expected to stay wide. That doesn't suit Gaston at all. It would work at home. We seemed to do okay last season without anyone giving the full backs any protection!! You've got a solid back 6 there anyway, think we'd be difficult to breakdown with those players there. There is also a lot or pace and power in the side now.

VICTOR WANYAMA is set to join Southampton over the next 48 hours in a £12.5million deal that smashes the Scottish transfer record. ..Parkhead powerbroker Peter Lawwell has all but concluded business with Saints chief Nicola Cortese and personal terms have been agreed with the player. All parties expect to be in a position to announce the deal by Friday at the latest. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/victor-wanyama-smashes-transfer-record-2041644 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiggles31 Posted 10 July, 2013 Share Posted 10 July, 2013 This will be a great signing. Solid as a rock in midfield, box to box and pops up with the odd screamer. Should suit our pressing game and improve our attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olallana Posted 10 July, 2013 Share Posted 10 July, 2013 @SimonPeach: Done some digging on Wanyama to #SaintsFC. Deal appears to be edging closer but no announcement was imminent when I checked earlier. Oh of course, "some digging". Let me think out loudly how he did come to that conclusion. Hmm, reports saying it´s practically a done deal, but he´s in Germany and hasn´t left yet so it will probably be too tight to make the announcement tonight, due to work permit that has to be sorted even if it´s a small detaill.... Ok, I can say that I´ve been digging, sounds a bit better as a journo.... You can do better Peachy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
