    that wasn't so much inside info as an article in a kenyan rag where he was quoted saying he was interested in leaving, backtracked on twitter and then a british national paper republished the interview excluding that quote and introducing new quotes saying he was looking forward to working wih the new manager.

    Wasn't that his agent and Wanyama denied it...implying he would have a word with him.

    african football agents are at least transparent. you know what to expect of them at all times.

    edit: fck he's a spaniard <sorry>

    don't expect he liked this
    is he still the agent?

    Morgan always ended up at Real Madrid on any footy manager or fifa I've played. Just saying. Get champs league and he'll stay

    Dont underestimate the teams togetherness. Fraser is quoted in todays Echo saying he's never had this spirit at any other club. All for one and one for all!

    This has been the case here over the past 5 years...we always put it down to Nicola's hypnotic stare, but I am now favouring something added to the drinking water. It was noticeable how players wanted to move on once they had drunk the water at St George's Park. All this summer's chaos could have been avoided if we'd sent them to the England camp with supplies of bottled water.

    Wanyama doesn't strike me as a troublemaker himself, but I think he probably does what his agent says and obviously his agent will be looking for opportunities.

    That seems like how it played out when we got him from Celtic. His agent played hardball and Wanyama kind of just shrugged his shoulders and tried to stay outside the fray. He just kind of had the attitude like he had nothing against Celtic, but he also liked Saints and his agent was just looking out for him and so however it got settled he'd just roll with it.

    Wanyama's principle agent is Rob Moore (suitable name) and Ivan Modia is part of the agency staff, and so is probably Victor's representative in that respect.

    the point about african agents stands though even if the agent isn't african. the kind of agents that get their claws into young african players are the most transparent sharks in the business.

    their national team coaches are as bad as hodgson.
