gary3009 Posted 15 June, 2015 Posted 15 June, 2015 Couldn't see this anywhere so thought id post it http://www.soka25east.com/revealed-victor-wanyama-to-stay-put-at-southampton/ The speculations over a possible Victor Wanyama move away from Arsenal have been quashed and the matter put to rest Soka25east.com can reveal. After long and arduous speculations that had linked Wanyama to a move to Arsenal,the Kenyan skipper has decided he will play the 2015/2016 season at Southampton putting paid to the hopes of many Arsenal fans who had hoped for that the strong,agile and no nonsense midfielder would join them. A close source close to the player who sort anonymity intimated to Soka25east.com “Wanyama will not be leaving Southampton at all he is happy on how coach Ronald Koeman has integrated him to the team making him playing a key role while the club has provided a good home for him.He is looking at the long term and yes he would one day like to move but you do not turn your back at a team which has stood by you.Wanyama feels there is time for everything”he said Southampton lost many of their key players in the 2013/2014 season including manager Pochettino however Ronald Koeman has been silently speaking to the players to dissuade them from leaving a call that has been honoured by many players who are happy with him at the helm. Wanyama helped inspire Kenya to a brave 1-1 draw away to Congo in an Africa Cup of Nations 2017 qualifer on Sunday. Victor Wanyama has been a key cog in the Southampton defence playing a spoilers role in the traditional formation where class is laced with quality.
buctootim Posted 15 June, 2015 Posted 15 June, 2015 Excellent news! Would have been a nightmare to lose both him and MS.
The9 Posted 15 June, 2015 Posted 15 June, 2015 "Silently speaking to the players" is one hell of a skill. I'm getting "horse whisperer" type images here, with Koeman taming the wild Wanyama and leading him to drink. Water. From a pond. This is all kinds of wrong.
CB Fry Posted 15 June, 2015 Posted 15 June, 2015 We've all been waiting for confirmation from soka25east.com and now we have it. Brilliant news.
Toomer Posted 15 June, 2015 Posted 15 June, 2015 Good news, I have this feeling that Clyne and Morgan might stay as well and we also might just get Toby signed on a 3 year contract.
buctootim Posted 15 June, 2015 Posted 15 June, 2015 We've all been waiting for confirmation from soka25east.com and now we have it. Brilliant news. At least they aren't the media who are out to get us.
hutch Posted 15 June, 2015 Posted 15 June, 2015 We've all been waiting for confirmation from soka25east.com and now we have it. Brilliant news. I won't believe it until I hear it from somebody that knows somebody who knows a player's wife.
Bucks Saint Posted 15 June, 2015 Posted 15 June, 2015 I won't believe it until I hear it from somebody that knows somebody who knows a player's wife. And when its on the mirror.com
nta786 Posted 15 June, 2015 Posted 15 June, 2015 I won't believe it until I hear it from somebody that knows somebody who knows a player's wife. :lol:
eddie Posted 15 June, 2015 Posted 15 June, 2015 We've all been waiting for confirmation from soka25east.com and now we have it. Brilliant news. reuters, associated press, soka25east. all the big names
VectisSaint Posted 15 June, 2015 Posted 15 June, 2015 Nothing from BILD on Twitter. Oh dear, fast becoming the 2015 "has Skacel signed yet" retort.
Andy Durman Posted 15 June, 2015 Posted 15 June, 2015 The Source is me! and they could have used my name.
notnowcato Posted 15 June, 2015 Posted 15 June, 2015 Victor is many things... agile wouldn't be that high on the list of his qualities...
Turkish Posted 15 June, 2015 Posted 15 June, 2015 Nothing from BILD on Twitter. And if anyone would know if there is any news on twitter it's you, hey pal.
Graffito Posted 15 June, 2015 Posted 15 June, 2015 Is this nonsense from the "no nonsense" player or from a "close source close to the player"? I think it's from a close source close to player or even from a not close source nowhere near the player. I won't believe this nonsense until I hear this the nonsense from the no nonsense player himself so we can put to bed the "long and arduos speculations" about our key cog who is class laced with quality.
eddie Posted 15 June, 2015 Posted 15 June, 2015 Victor is many things... agile wouldn't be that high on the list of his qualities... I remember watching one of the home games last season when Wanyama started doing a few skillful moves to get round people and was actually surprisingly agile.....there were massive cheers from the stands whenever he did it. Good memories.
SuperSAINT Posted 15 June, 2015 Posted 15 June, 2015 Keeping big Vic would be a huge plus for us this summer.
Downthe36 Posted 15 June, 2015 Posted 15 June, 2015 And if anyone would know if there is any news on twitter it's you, hey pal. Is there really any need? Why always feel the need to belittle someone?

Good memories. Was against....Arsenal
Dig Dig Posted 15 June, 2015 Posted 15 June, 2015 The Source is me! and they could have used my name. Let's not get too excited then. Did Vic's GF tell you this after following her into the toilets or something?
mulletsaint Posted 15 June, 2015 Posted 15 June, 2015 Is there really any need? Why always feel the need to belittle someone? Because he's a ****? Seriously though he might have meant it as a joke. Sometimes hard for tone of voice to come across on here.
the_emu Posted 15 June, 2015 Posted 15 June, 2015 Was against....Arsenal It was Arsenal, and it happened once... The fact it's memorable pretty much reinforces the earlier comment he isn't agile.

Redslo Posted 15 June, 2015 Posted 15 June, 2015 http://www.soka25east.com/ is now my go to source for Football news from central east Africa although I am disappointed that they do not appear to cover the Somalia national football team. Edit: Just to clarify. I have linked the web site in my favorites and I will check back to see if it has anything interesting. I am not entirely joking.
cellone Posted 15 June, 2015 Posted 15 June, 2015 Well it's nice to have that all done and dusted so early. Will be nice to have a top player that doesn't figure in the rumour mill or get sold for lots of money.
david in sweden Posted 16 June, 2015 Posted 16 June, 2015 I won't believe it until I hear it from somebody that knows somebody who knows a player's wife. ..right ....WAG gossip is more dependable than the jungle telegraph.....or even the Telegraph, when it comes to reliable info.
the mick channon windmill Posted 16 June, 2015 Posted 16 June, 2015 Hope this is true, I think wanyama and mane will be our key players next season
Matt_the_cat Posted 22 June, 2015 Posted 22 June, 2015 http://www.smartkenya.co.uk/wanyama-staying-in-southampton-club/ four year contract!
hypochondriac Posted 22 June, 2015 Posted 22 June, 2015 Heard some nice stuff about vic today. An avid church goer and a supporter of many charities. Top man.
Redslo Posted 22 June, 2015 Posted 22 June, 2015 http://www.smartkenya.co.uk/wanyama-staying-in-southampton-club/ four year contract! Since we haven't heard about his signing a new contract, I assume he is referring to the length of his original contract which is four year, two of which are gone. Heard some nice stuff about vic today. An avid church goer and a supporter of many charities. Top man. It is not clear to me how these two statements are connected, but perhaps you didn't mean that they were.
percy windham Posted 22 June, 2015 Posted 22 June, 2015 A friend of mine works for the Peace One Day charity, Vic did some work for them a few months back.
scotty Posted 22 June, 2015 Posted 22 June, 2015 It is not clear to me how these two statements are connected, but perhaps you didn't mean that they were. Whatever your views or beliefs, that's unnecessary. And hypo could have been referring to Vics charity support, or something not mentioned in his comment.
Redslo Posted 22 June, 2015 Posted 22 June, 2015 Whatever your views or beliefs, that's unnecessary. And hypo could have been referring to Vics charity support, or something not mentioned in his comment. Which is why I referenced the two statements I did in bold. Clearly, being a supporter of many charities could make someone a top man. As for my comment being unnecessary, it depends what you mean by that. However, I have chosen not to allow the casual and common assumption that religiousness=good to go unchallenged because it is such a harmful and destructive assumption in the modern world.
scotty Posted 22 June, 2015 Posted 22 June, 2015 You highlighted two specific parts of hypos comment, and whatever you think of what he said, it was unnecessary on a football thread. Keep the anti religion stuff for the lounge.
CB Fry Posted 22 June, 2015 Posted 22 June, 2015 Heard some nice stuff about vic today. An avid church goer and a supporter of many charities. Top man. That'll be Victor's stats being marked down on Fotball Manager 2016 then.
Matthew Le God Posted 22 June, 2015 Posted 22 June, 2015 (edited) Don't be silly, but I do struggle to see how being an "avid church goer" makes someone a "top man". Being a "supporter of many charities" is fair enough, but you don't need to be religious to do that. Edited 22 June, 2015 by Matthew Le God
Saint_clark Posted 22 June, 2015 Posted 22 June, 2015 Now you've done it. God help us. A believer. Top man.
Redslo Posted 22 June, 2015 Posted 22 June, 2015 You highlighted two specific parts of hypos comment, and whatever you think of what he said, it was unnecessary on a football thread. Keep the anti religion stuff for the lounge. When the pro religious stuff is left out of this football thread, I will leave my antireligious stuff out of it. As for keeping it to the lounge, I do not actually read the lounge because I am not here for religious or political discussions. I simply will not allow gratuitous pro religious comments to gone without a response in a thread like there where they do not belong. I did not bring up the subject first and it is not like I would have objected if someone had posted "God knows, Vic is a good player."

The9 Posted 22 June, 2015 Posted 22 June, 2015 Where are the "gratuitous pro religious comments" on this thread? I love Jeebus, I do. Did that help?
Redslo Posted 22 June, 2015 Posted 22 June, 2015 Where are the "gratuitous pro religious comments" on this thread? There was only one which I responded to. Unless the comments made by the people with whom I am debating can be considered pro-religious. A close question in my opinion but right now I am leaning towards not. My reference to "comments" plural was a general statement of my personal policy, not a claim that there had been multiple pro-religious comments on this particular thread. I will not that because pro-religion is viewed as the default state (especially in the USA, although your country does have an official religion) many people making pro-religious comments do not even realize that they are doing that--as in appearing to equate going to church with being a good person. Just for the record, I am content to stop debating this on this thread. I am not content to admit that I should not have responded to the first comment. I love Jeebus, I do. Did that help? I am not sure that qualifies as pro-religious but it does help.

Saint Jude Posted 22 June, 2015 Posted 22 June, 2015 I'm an 'avid church goer'... and have known avout Big Vic's faith for a fair while...but I have no problem with Redslo's original comments.. let's not get to serious about this... P.S. Pretty sure Victor would describe himself as having a faith rather than being religious but lets' not start another debate.. as Far as I'm concerned he's a Saint... and that's why I'll be supporting him... (and nice to know he does stuff for charity as weel)
