I confess I'm knew to these threads, but I think we need someone that is all knowing and superior too. Does anyone know anyone that can do the duty of being all knowing and superior?

Too modest to volunteer yourself?

I am confident we will sign wanayama, no one is going to match our fee and wanayama will sign for us instead of going back to celtic. Cortese forgave puncheon after he publicly insulted him on twitter I am sure he will be happy to do bussiness with wanayama's representatives again. It might take a month but he will come here.

I don't think there is a lot to be pessimistic about. The agent talk is all posturing if we want wanayama which we probably do given his talent we will most likely get him. Agents are greedy but not stupid they will want wanayama to move this window and celtic won't let wanayama talk to anyone who isn;t offering 12 mil which so far we are the only ones rumored to have offered that amount. For Wanayama's part he will be happy moving to an any ambitious premier league club.
 
I know it's the Daily Record, but this is interesting:

THE relationship between Victor Wanyama and Celtic was breaking down last night in a row between the wantaway Kenyan’s camp and the SPL champions.

Record Sport understands Wanyama’s advisers have infuriated the powers that be inside Parkhead by launching a high-profile campaign to land their man a money-spinning move out of Glasgow.

This comes amid claims down south that Wanyama’s £12.5million move to Southampton collapsed because the 21-year-old’s representatives were demanding a £1m fee.

Yesterday Barcelona-based agent Ivan Modia poured fuel on the fire by saying Wanyama has no interest in discussing a move to St Mary’s – and insisting his client had already lost out when denied the chance to join big-spending QPR last summer.

Modia also said Wanyama has gone two years at Celtic – where Neil Lennon tagged his star at £25m – without a pay rise.

This has outraged chief executive Peter Lawwell who saw a number of improved contract offers over the last 12 months turned down.

Sources close to Lawwell believe Wanyama’s advisers booted out a bumper deal that would have doubled the value of the player’s contract in a bid to force his sale.

In a tersely-worded statement a club spokesman said last night: “These negotiations like any others, are carried out by Celtic in a proper, private and professional manner.

“Celtic carries out its business with integrity, we work to the highest standards and in the interests of the club, our supporters and indeed our players. We do not need to comment any further.”

But privately Celtic are understood to be simmering with anger at the way Wanyama’s agents have gone about their business.

In the meantime the club have kicked a £10m bid from Cardiff into touch in the hope another bidder might match the record-breaking Southampton offer.

But the fear remains any deal might be scuppered by the exorbitant demands of Wanyama’s agents.

Modia appeared to suggest yesterday Wanyama’s own cash demands caused the stumbling block.

He said: “We’re not in talks with Southampton and have not been since their final offer more than two weeks ago.

“The news of the fee being agreed may be coming out now but we see little sense in a fee being agreed if there is no reasonable prospect of the player’s terms being met.

“To suggest we’re talking with Southampton is false, their offer was way below Victor’s expectations. There’s no chance of him signing the deal on offer and both Celtic and Southampton were informed some time ago.

“The player will not be forced into a corner to accept the Southampton deal just because it is good for Celtic.

“Remember he has been with the club for two years now – without a pay rise – and has given them wonderful service since he arrived.

“Added to this is the fact that by Celtic refusing him permission to join QPR last summer, Victor lost more than £1m in potential earnings – yet he kept his mouth shut and continued to be a model professional.”

Wanyama, signed from Belgian side Beerschot in 2011, will hold out for more potential escape routes, knowing his bridges with Celtic have been burned.

Modia added: “We know there’s interest from elsewhere and Victor is obviously open to those prospects. He hopes Celtic will adopt a more reasonable approach and take into account the service he’s given the club so far.”

Clearly a player who thinks a lot of himself as does his representatives......
While he may be a reasonable player if what has been printed is true then for me he is clearly not for Saints under any circumstances.
With an attitude like that I am sure sections of the crowd would soon be on his back if he had a bad day.....No ta........ let him go elsewhere!
