Saint Victor!

We don't really know what he wants or what's happening. None of us are best mates with Wanyama or his agent.

 

That's two fairly daft comments in a row there Olly. Nothing is clear. At all.

 

Yeah. I'd be pretty gutted. Especially if he strengthened the competition.

 

This is actually a fairly interesting profile of Wanyama, surprisingly by ITV - http://www.itv.com/sport/football/a...yer-profile-victor-wanyama-midfielder-celtic/

 

Hadn't seen this posted yet, doesn't sound good......

Well that's rather miserable......as suspected, but seems the two ships are a LONG way apart.

 

Wasn't the same said during the Ramirez deal? Also, we aren't the only team that doesn't get a transfer completed in 4 days.

 

If we wait until August this thread could be a record breaker!

Looks like we are very tight when it comes to agent fees.

 

Heh, with Ramirez, didn't his agent end up waiving most/all of his fee in the end? Perhaps it's time to look into the history of Wanyama's agent and see whether he too may have been involved in sex trafficking...

 

You're just annoyed you didn't create the thread.

 

Yeh, obviously.

 

My only problem with that is, our signings over the past twelve months haven't turned out to be particularly great in practice. So i've lost a bit of faith in Les Reed and Cortese (and whoever else had a say in our signings last summer and in January).

 

Sod that, just have the parasite disappear Sopranos style. If I was a player I really think I would be pissed that an agent was getting ridiculously rich off the back of my talent.

 

Celtic fan here. Victor has the potential to be genuinely world class, he's not there yet and it's no guarantee that he'll ever get there but he has all the attributes. If he improves at the rate he has over the past two seasons, and you buy him, you'll no doubt enjoy a couple of very good years before selling him on for a tasty profit.

£12m is a risk of course and given that we paid 900k and will not be able to keep him beyond his current contract (up in 2015), we'd be daft to say no. I'd still not be overly surprised if another team came in with a bid late on ... Either way, the money will fund basically all our transfers for the next year.

 

And rightly so. Obviously it makes negotiations very tricky, but it's another thing that makes me proud of our club. Don't take no crap from agents.

 

Clyne, Boruc, Yoshida, Rodriguez and Davis were all solid signings for a newly promoted club. I'm not going to get into the Gaston thing here but I rate him and think he'll come good, others will obviously disagree. Forren is a bit of an enigma, but I'm not going to write him off before he has played a game. The only real disappointment was Mayuka. I'd take that rate of success in future transfer windows.

 

Good, well done Nic. (oh & goodbye greedy victor & his very vocal agent.....shame)

 

Not sure what you expect

Clyne, Boruc, Yoshida, Davis & Rodriguez all established themselves as 1st team regulars.
Ramirez has been debated endlessly here but still bagged a handful of goals in an injury hit campaign.

Gazzaniga was bought very much as one for the future but despite some mistakes did not have any serious shockers

Mayuka & Forren would be the only two who you would class under failure and that's because they had about two starts between them.

 

£2 million or whatever we paid for Clyne was robbery in hindsight. If he was a striker and Michu was a right back, everyone else would be wondering why they couldn't find great cheap players like Southampton.
