sfc4prem Posted 10 July, 2013 Posted 10 July, 2013 @SkySportsMatt: Wanyama is set to complete his £12million move from Celtic to Southampton this week. #SaintsFC #Celtic Always good to play it safe when you work for Sky.
itchen_dan Posted 10 July, 2013 Posted 10 July, 2013 @GraemeBailey: Celtic's Victor Wanyama due at Southampton for medical and will complete move to St Mary's in next 48 hours.

Crazy Diamond Posted 10 July, 2013 Posted 10 July, 2013 Always good to play it safe when you work for Sky. Well they've not done the usual 'Sky Sources understand...' nonsense. It's funny how those sources always reveal to Sky journalists a few minutes after something has been confirmed elsewhere.
Saint Charlie Posted 10 July, 2013 Posted 10 July, 2013 @GraemeBailey: Celtic's Victor Wanyama due at Southampton for medical and will complete move to St Mary's in next 48 hours. Thats the one we have been waiting for!

saints-cris Posted 10 July, 2013 Posted 10 July, 2013 Seems all but done, well chuffed with this. Think he'll be a great signing.
Olallana Posted 10 July, 2013 Posted 10 July, 2013 Looking around on twitter it seems like it´s mostly Liverpool fans that are disappointed they dont get him. Some of them think they should go for Schneiderlin as soon as Wanyama is officially announced. Good luck on that scousers!
alpine_saint Posted 10 July, 2013 Posted 10 July, 2013 Looking good. Beginning to think we might actually be well-prepared for a season. For once.
Saints foreva Posted 10 July, 2013 Posted 10 July, 2013 Looking good. Beginning to think we might actually be well-prepared for a season. For once. Yeah because we were pretty unprepared for our return to the Championship...
itchen_dan Posted 10 July, 2013 Posted 10 July, 2013 When this goes through, that will be £21m spent already. Still over a month left to go yet and another 1/2 players to join. Judging by rumours, we're looking to spend between £15m - £20m on a striker so that'll instantly top it over the £35m - £40m mark. Incredible. Absolutely incredible.
JoeShmoe Posted 10 July, 2013 Posted 10 July, 2013 .................Boruc Clyne Lovren Yoshi Shaw Morgan Wanyama J Rod Banega Gaston Damiao Fixed it for you /-)
itchen_dan Posted 10 July, 2013 Posted 10 July, 2013 Kevin Palmer Soccer writer with Ireland's Sunday World newspaper, ESPN and a host of club programmes @kpsundayworld: I'm told #Wanyama to @SouthamptonFC may well be imminent. Suggestions a deal is in place. About £12m. Big loss for #celtic
itchen_dan Posted 10 July, 2013 Posted 10 July, 2013 @bbclovefootball: The Kenya FA have jumped the gun a little and congratulated Victor Wanyama on signing for Southampton - despite the deal not being done yet!
Minty Posted 10 July, 2013 Posted 10 July, 2013 @bbclovefootball: The Kenya FA have jumped the gun a little and congratulated Victor Wanyama on signing for Southampton - despite the deal not being done yet! They jumped the gun a bit more than that in fact: http://www.scotsman.com/the-scotsman/sport/football/victor-wanyama-will-leave-celtic-say-kenyan-fa-1-2762307 Nice to know we might be 'one of the big two clubs in the world', lol...

It´s a new era as Saints fan, isn´t it? And I think there is at least two more coming in including a striker so it might finish off at £45-50m even.... ICIT! (In Cortese I trust)
pingwing Posted 10 July, 2013 Posted 10 July, 2013 all done Wanyama or pre transfer announcement dump?
SNSUN Posted 10 July, 2013 Posted 10 July, 2013 From BBC Sportsday Live: 1514: FOOTBALL The Football Kenya Federation has congratulated Kenyan midfielder Victor Wanyama on moving to Southampton from Celtic, even though a deal for the 22-year-old has not been confirmed by either club. BBC Sport understands that the transfer is poised to go ahead in the next 48 hours.

Indeed, lets just hope MP can mould them into a functioning team and we dont get Chelsea- / Mancity-type histrionics.. The work is just beginning.
iansums Posted 10 July, 2013 Posted 10 July, 2013 Looking good. Beginning to think we might actually be well-prepared for a season. For once. Thank feck for that then!
St_Tel49 Posted 10 July, 2013 Posted 10 July, 2013 Wanyama or pre transfer announcement dump? That usually appears on here
Mr X Posted 10 July, 2013 Posted 10 July, 2013 Saw a celtic supporting mate of mine today who was gutted. Said he's SO good and will be worth twice what we're about to pay for him in a few years. careful we all know the last player this lot on here said that about! that said he looks leagues ahead of ramirez in terms of strength on the ball so maybe he can supply the ball to ramirez so he doesn't have to do any of the silly over complicated showboating stuff and can concentrate on what hes good at maybe we will see a different player!
yorkie Posted 10 July, 2013 Posted 10 July, 2013 Look we all know there will be a signing on Friday - at this rate a double signing of Luke and Victor...can we make it a treble?
110_Persaint Posted 10 July, 2013 Posted 10 July, 2013 Chances of a failed medical anyone? It's happened before.
Mr X Posted 10 July, 2013 Posted 10 July, 2013 Chances of a failed medical anyone? It's happened before. Wasn't he deemed fit to play the celtic pre season?

Tokyo-Saint Posted 10 July, 2013 Posted 10 July, 2013 What's this B list thread? I just broke this story on the muppet show. You main boarders need to keep up.
Saint Charlie Posted 10 July, 2013 Posted 10 July, 2013 Squad travelling away on Friday so hopefully it will be done before then.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 10 July, 2013 Posted 10 July, 2013 all done What's this B list thread? I just broke this story on the muppet show. You main boarders need to keep up. TMS dream team double act! embarrassing for the Mboard ITKs
Bearsy Posted 10 July, 2013 Posted 10 July, 2013 What's this B list thread? I just broke this story on the muppet show. You main boarders need to keep up. to be honest i don't really come on main board for transfer news anymore, muppet shows is where you get the latest exclusives
Tokyo-Saint Posted 10 July, 2013 Posted 10 July, 2013 Squad travelling away on Friday so hopefully it will be done before then. You're not listening Charlie, it's a done deal http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?45642-Wanyama-signs&p=1732287#post1732287 We have sources too you know!
itchen_dan Posted 10 July, 2013 Posted 10 July, 2013 Squad travelling away on Friday so hopefully it will be done before then. We will get this wrapped up before then no doubt as things such as VO2 testing and other pre season testing will need to be done on him before they go away. Expect announcement tonight or early tomorrow morning I think. SuperSonic did say yesterday that he heard NC saying something about "being there about 8" so maybe 8 o'clock tonight for an announcement at 9? Who knows?

itchen_dan Posted 10 July, 2013 Posted 10 July, 2013 Just been on SSN "Victor Wanyama is in London ahead of a £10m move to Southampton. He will undergo a medical within 24 hours."
trousers Posted 10 July, 2013 Posted 10 July, 2013 Whilst I'm obviously happy that Wanyama is on the cusp of signing I still don;t see this as the one signing that will turn the heads of the rest of the premier league. This is more of an eyebrow raiser IMO. Someone like Damiao, Osvaldo or Banega would be a head turner...
Minty Posted 10 July, 2013 Posted 10 July, 2013 What's this B list thread? I just broke this story on the muppet show. You main boarders need to keep up. Do they have an equivalent thread on the Celtic forum? I know there's the B-list one with MLG on, but I wanna read the A list one.
trousers Posted 10 July, 2013 Posted 10 July, 2013 Just been on SSN "Victor Wanyama is in London ahead of a £10m move to Southampton. He will undergo a medical within 24 hours." Quick. Everyone take their positions on the bridges over the M3.... cameras and earlobe charts at the ready....

I'm not massive worried bout turning prem heads tbh, unless it's John Terry and I'm turning his head through plate glass window.

This is more of an eyebrow raiser IMO. Someone like Damiao, Osvaldo or Banega would be a head turner... Nah, I think Damiao would be a head turner, Osvaldo a double take and Banega an ear wiggler.
trousers Posted 10 July, 2013 Posted 10 July, 2013 Nah, I think Damiao would be a head turner, Osvaldo a double take and Banega an ear wiggler. Just need a willy twitcher now and we've got the full set...
