Player Watch: Victor Wanyama

[sunnydelight786]

Is that why he didn't get a red card in 13/14 or 14/15?

Let's just skip over the most recent of seasons and go back instead.....

Being a CL club and a side not too far off from challenging for the league again we are in a position to sign top quality. Is he really of that desired quality to take our team up a level or just another squad filler?

Personally speaking he's a red card waiting to happen. He's really indisciplined and picks up yellow/red cards galore leaving his team in a vulnerable position. Not a fan of his at all....

That Eric Dier is a bit of a saint isn't he?

Remind me how many reds he picked up last year....? Was it close to the 3 this plodder got? We are in a position to sign top quality, players who can make a REAL difference. Arsenal sign a top quality midfielder in Xhaka, and yes I've seen plenty of him as I watch a lot of Bundesliga, and we go for this plodder..... #Ambition

Your claim that he picks up 'red cards galore' is incorrect- yes, he had a poor disciplinary record last season (with two red cards being debatable), but the 2 seasons before that, he didn't receive any red cards. Also, Dier received 10 yellow cards last season and should've been sent off twice (vs Arsenal and vs Chelsea) but I don't see anyone complaining about that.

No point mentioning Xhaka as he cost £35m and we're not going to spend that money on a CM (or anyone). And Wanyama will make a difference if he signs, as we will have a better chance of closing out games, and real competition for Dier.

Not an fan of VW from what I've seen. Slow, lumbering, not a good passer and not good technique. What's to like?

Sounds exactly like Tony was described by quite a few this me last year. He's got a simple job, protect the back four.

Someone please go to the archives and bring back the archaic comments before we signed Toby. Give the management the benefit that they are more informed than us on their preferred targets and signings.

If you look on Twitter, he spent the day with Wanyama today. So this sound pretty much done deal to me

 

[THFCSPURS19]

If he's signing the contract on Monday, I'd expect an announcement on around 24th August 2027.

Expect radio silence for all of next week!

 

[Rocksuperstar]

I like this news. I like his attitude on the pitch, he should fit in well

Quite strange that this appears to have been such a simple process - no drama, no faffing about until days before the window closes "to get the best deal" like we've become used to, we just went and got the deal done. Such an odd sensation considering a few years ago we'd have offered £4m, then maybe one of our youngsters on loan for the season, then £6m, staggered over 18 months, etc.

Refreshing. I like new Spurs.
