Saint Victor!

[Beef]

I'm not expecting Buttneresque shananigans, but I can see this dragging on for a while yet. It's unquestionably a massive deal for all concerned, with a fine young player who is highly rated by many.

A few scottish Journo's have said Saints are so far into the deal and paying enough that they can't see any other outcome then him coming to Saints.

Me too, I was shocked. UB40 are just a bunch of cover artists cashing in on others' brilliant songwriting.

UB40 used to make records of original songs, like the album Signing Off. It's really good, I have no idea why they decided to just be a cover band after that, maybe they couldn't top it?

Some of the great artists only sang other people's songs. Marvin Gaye, for instance.

Oh I'm sure he'll end up here. I just feel like it's going to drag on a little while yet.

I feel it will be done next week.

 

[James G]

I feel it will be done next week.

The only likely hold up is him holding out for an offer from a bigger club, fair enough really, but hopefully they'll put the screws to him and have it done next week.

That's what I just said.

 

[MorgansBitOnTheSchneid]

It will be done this weekend i can feel it in my bones.

I feel it will be done next week.

Hopefully.

One of the things that seems to work to our advantage is that we tend to move rather decisively. Transfers don't necessarily wrap up quickly, but we don't dither about monitoring situations or wondering if other targets might become available. Wanyama might want an Arsenal or Liverpool, and those clubs might want him, but they also want to keep their powder dry for other, potentially more earth-shattering moves. We have no such hangups.

Victor speaks, bid is accepted and he has to agree to personal terms. Looking really good

 

[Saints Fan4Life]

I read on the rumours page that he is in the New Forrest for talks today/tomorrow. Who is working the hotels that way to get pics then?

Right, I'm going out for a drive around New Forest hotels haha

Mate of a mate claims he spotted Wanyama in Southampton

Impressive considering he was in Kenya last night...

Were you tempted to use 'cockwomble' there?

Clearly flew in overnight to stroll round the centre

Do you really think this fella will fit into our recent style of play?

With ease he will take Cork's place.

Do us all a favour and explain why you think he won't?

Powerful midfielder who tackles well, breaks up play, can string together passes, has a vicious shot on him, and has a dominant performance against Barca to his name? I think he fits.

Beddy, this is the second cautious post from you on this player. Do you know much about him or have you seen him play? He is very good and just what we need.

 

[fatletiss]

My only niggle is Celtic being fed up with our persistence in hooper last year that they may try and encourage someone else to do us over..... *years of saints disappointment kicking in*

Hard tackling, physical, fast player with a good range of passing fitting into our high tempo pressing team. He'll struggle.
