ScepticalStan Posted 19 August, 2015 Share Posted 19 August, 2015 Does anyone else see Wanyama as pretty-good-but-not-that-special? I certainly don't think he's good enough for any of the big four. His passing is mediocre and he adds very little going forward. Can't score goals, can't really beat a man. Defensively he's solid as anything I grant you, but I'm just surprised that there's *that* much interest in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't important attributes in the role of a defensive midfielder. Claude Makelele scored 17 goals in 607 club games, does that make him a bad defensive midfielder?

doddisalegend Posted 20 August, 2015 Share Posted 20 August, 2015 I honestly don't think we will sell anyone now 1) it's to close to the end of the window to start sorting out replacements we have enough new players to bed in as it is 2) Koeman is already making noises about the difficulties at the back being down to losing so many players from the defensive unit (not all sold granted) 3) we need to keep some players to sell next summer 4) We will want serious money so spurs are out and man u would have to pay more than they were willing to pay for Pedro Now having said all that I fully expect Mane, Pelle and Victor out of tonight's game while they have medicals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manzo Posted 20 August, 2015 Share Posted 20 August, 2015 As with Morgan, why aren't arsenal desperate to sign him? If there's one thing they need its a top DM.

ScepticalStan Posted 20 August, 2015 Share Posted 20 August, 2015 Why are you judging him on his goal scoring and ability to dribble past players? They aren't important attributes in the role of a defensive midfielder. Claude Makelele scored 17 goals in 607 club games, does that make him a bad defensive midfielder? No, but Claude Makelele had flawless vision, perfect awareness, and could pass accurately first-time with both feet over more-or-less any distance. Victor isn't anywhere near his equal in those attributes. As such, the question "well what's he like going forward?" is a reasonable one. The fact that Neymar is thin-as-a-pin and yet is a world-class striker for Barcelona and Brazil doesn't mean that physical strength isn't normally a useful attribute for a striker.

The9 Posted 20 August, 2015 Share Posted 20 August, 2015 I'm now operating on the assumption that when I post to say "I expect X to leave next summer" one of the top 6 will make an offer for them within 2 weeks. So far that's Mane, Wanyama and Pelle rumoured - only Cedric to go (as I originally posted it in response to Fonte bid rumours). FWIW I don't see anyone leaving in this transfer window, and if we slide back into Prem mid-table mediocrity like I think we will this season with the focus on Europa I'm not entirely sure the excitement around players won't move on to others (Stoke's new side, Swansea are well overdue for a pillaging, and maybe more than just Bolasie at Palace).

I have to say, I feel the same. That Everton performance really knocked me back. Hopefully Romeu will start alongside Vic and Caulker will come in at CB with Yoshida moving to LB, but even that doesn't fill me with confidence.
