Saint Victor!

Noah Wanyama sounds cool and has a cool name. Also, I keep forgetting that McDonald Mariga is Victor's brother. What a family. Can we have both?

 

Sign his father to be our club spokesman, as well.

 

My first piece for GiveMeSport, a summary of the Wanyama situation to-date: http://www.givemesport.com/356709-victor-wanyamas-father-calls-for-patience?

 

A career in sports journalism beckons.

 

Congratulations mate. Good work.

 

Well written and well done DTLW!

 

Well done mate. One thing, when you're the big time, make sure you give us accurate stories please

 

Agreed, well done. I rarely contribute to this forum but do read it and your contributions are very much appreciated.

 

The echo copying your article mate http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/10521926._/?

 

Good article DTLW, very accurate.

Does anyone else feel a bit more positive about this deal going through than they were.

This is pure conjecture but from all we've heard I'm wondering if Wanyama was keen to accept our offer but was convinced by his agents that if he released that statement and bided his time we would come running.

In recent days we've had unconfirmed reports that he has sacked his agents, now his dad has said a decision will be made imminently after giving his son some advice.

Still clutching at straws a bit I know but it seems to me that if the club did not come 'running' with an improved offer and in fact appeared to move on to other targets that Victor may well have become upset with his agents and is now prepared to accept our original terms.

This theory although seemingly plucked from thin air does tie in with most of the snippets of info we have received, remember Nixon originally said all parties were keen on a deal and Wanyama himself came back from holiday.

Anyway only time will tell but I for one am quietly confident this thread may have a happy conclusion.

 

I've always been pretty positive about it.

 

So do we assume it's a straight choice for him between Saints and Cardiff? People on the cardiff board seem to think he's not worth 12.5m. Or are we waiting for further issues with agents to be ironed out?

 

Saints, Cardiff and Celtic. Staying is an option.

 

if it is between cardiff and saints then he's as good as ours!

 

New Forest hotel sighting claimed on rumours site

 

After the spectacular sighting of Rodriguez, last season, one can't automatically file this in the BS tray.

 

Not sure he has Cardiff as an option unless they meet Celtic's asking price which they don't appear to have done yet. He can't begin to negotiate with them until that happens, so just leaves us and staying at Celtic.

 

In theory, no. In practice however...

 

Is it over yet? Back in St. Pete now after spending a week in the Keys.

 

Skybet have him at 6/5 to Cardiff (better odds than we ever had), with us and Liverpool on 2/1. Probably means nothing, but in case anybody's interested.
