Exceedingly late, actually. Think that people got gunshy after the Saint Davide thread, but the whole idea is for it to be an extended roller-coaster of emotions that may or may not end calamitously.
Nixon says its likely. All three parties happy enough and confident it will be done.
I hope you realise that if I get let down now, I will go on a massive killing spree. This is the most excited I've been about a transfer in all my time of supporting Saints.
The transfer seems to be picking up a lot of steam, But before anyone wets them self, Victor hasn't said yes to the club!
Southampton agree £10m fee for Wanyama: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...ompetition-Liverpool-Arsenal-Inter-Milan.html
Just a Tad premature don't we think? Player has agreed nothing........as far as we know!
Haha since when did COMMENTING on a post about a video, have anything to do with him signing for us? 
What a beast. Shows no respect for the physical abilities of opponents, just barrells through them. Didn't know he had such a good shot either.
That video has me all de Ridder'd.
More excited about Wanyama than I was about Ramirez. Or the potential Lens, Banega, Coutinho, etc. signings.
He pretty much encapsulates everything I wanted Saints to add-- physical midfield presence on defense, someone in midfield who is good in the air, a physical midfielder who may be a better target player for the CB's than Cork or Schniederlin, and someone who shoots and can score from long range.
He is potentially so good that I feel like it takes a lot of pressure off finding another attacker as he will score goals and create chances for others via long shots and also just in controlling midfield. Even if he may not get credit for assists or pull of any pretty through balls. He will allow Ramirez/Davis not to have to drop back as far,
and also for Schneiderlin to pull the strings a bit more instead of having to run all over the field making last-ditch tackles all the time. And that in turn lets Ramirez do his thing, which in turn lets Lambert and Rodriguez do their thing. I'd still like to see an attacker brought in, but now I feel we can take a chance on a cheaper prospect and let them develop rather than paying huge sums for a "proven" scorer.
