Victor Wanyama

Certainly not covering himself in glory.

 

Disheartening for every Southampton fan too, but in a way it's a good problem to have. Big clubs interested in a lot of your players is better than having a team full of players no-one rates.

I don't blame Victor for wanting to double his money elsewhere and don't blame Southampton FC for not wanting him to leave because they can't replace him this late in the window. I hope that Victor has another great season and moves onto Manchester United next summer as they look like they need him.

 

If he goes to spurs i can see him gone by 2 years to arsenal or another bigger club

 

People are in la la land if they think he can go to Arsenal. He doesn't possess enough quality at all - Southampton fans agree.

Guy can't pass for * and his shooting is all over the joint. He's basically just a £12m brick wall.

They won't let him go for any less than £20m but even then they are saying you can get much better - which you can.

 

A brick wall is what both Spurs and Arsenal need.

 

So what is he then. What are the fine attributes he brings to a team. You watched him lately - he's been rubbish. Last season he was pretty lacklustre and the season before he was alright.

His game is littered with too many weaknesses. He's never top 4 material.

Schneiderlin (sp) is what he wishes he could be. Schneiderlin should take most of the credit for their defensive displays last season, not Wanyama.

 

Shocking behaviour from Victor. No got a great attitude at all

Footballing wise I'd rather be at Southampton tbh but the money must have spoken. Hate Spurs dunno why.

 

I saw that, Sky Sports news done it as well. There goals conceded halfed when Wanyama was playing than when he wasn't, including when Schniederlin was playing for them.

As a defensive midfielder he is absolutely collasal, as every Celtic fan should remember to be fair.

 

Answer my question.

What attributes are so massively stunning from Wanyama?

I loved him when he was here, don't get me wrong. However he just hasn't progressed at all.

Not the only one to think this - the fans who watch him week in week out think the same.

 

Neither could Makelele, it's that he's a top defensive player who can break up play and also take pressure off his team by holding the ball or taking it on a run thats his best attributes, he's also excellent in the air and has good pace to recover etc

I actually think Man U may have been "Lovrened" with Schneiderlin, he's looked very average in the 3/4 games i've seen him there where he's neither that good at defending, attacking or using the ball for the level they're at. I've thought of Schneiderlin as a bit of a Gareth Barry decent solid player but he's not really looked too good for them so far playing with a higher calibre of player.

 

If you look at his stats last season, he averaged 6.1 tackles or interceptions per 90 minutes. Schneiderlin averaged 6.7.

Schneiderlin's pass success 89.3%, Wanyama's 84.1% not that much in it when you consider Schneiderlin mostly sat in the centre of midfield or deeper while Wanyama covered a lot of the park so would have been higher up the pitch a lot more than Schneiderlin, so not as many passes between Wanyama and the defence as Schneiderlin.

Both of them only made 1 assist, Schneiderlin scored 4 goals in 31 shots, Wanyama scored 3 goals in 25 shots. Very similar again.

Even their blocks, clearances, fouls are all very similar, almost exactly the same.

The only real differance between their stats is Schneiderlins pass accuracy is 5% higher and Wanyama does about 2.5 more dribbling.

Their ratings formulated on their stats in games by opta by their position etc rated Schneiderlin at 7.51 and Wanyama as 7.12 both good ratings Schneiderlin as Southamptons best and Wanyama as 3rd best behind Fonte.

 

I personally think he has a bit more to his game than you are making out, but I do think he needs to improve technically to become a top player. However, even if he was just a brick wall, that is pretty much exactly what Arsenal need. They have enough ball players in their team, but have no steel whatsoever. They have got Cazorla almost operating as a defensive midfielder.

 

I loved big Vic when he was here but Jesus Christ someone needs to sit him down and define the word loyalty to him.

 

I couldn't give two * about his attitude now, infact I hope he is being an *, if it gets us our percentage quicker, good..

 

Correct,that's all that matters to us now.

If he doesn't go this window it will be January so still bank 2mil.

 

do we have a sell on fee
