Player Watch: Victor Wanyama

[Martin91]

Just noticed on Lamela Instagram (1hour ago) that Wanyama is at the training ground....

It’s a shame but would be great if we could offload him as releases another from our wage bill and I’d prefer to see Skipp given opportunities over him now as he’s gone the way of the Sandro. :-(

"Hearing that Spurs & Club Brugge are close to an agreement for Victor Wanyama but it may take some time for the player to agree terms successfully undergo a total knee replacement & that he and Brugge could wait until after their Champions League qualifier second leg next week to see what lies ahead..."

 

[Mate]

If it relies on them going through, then they're in a good position as they're 1-0 up from the 1st leg (they were away to LASK, an Austrian team).

 

[Snuzzy]

Yeah if I'm Wanyama theres no way I sign when before the window closes theres a potential knockout game for my prospective new team. Makes perfect sense for him to wait till 2nd leg. And for the club too as it will affect their finances and how they need to set out their squad.

If Wanyama goes that's the full house on deadwood transfer bingo.
I know a lot's been made of our incomings but Janssen, GKN, and Wanyama out the door with fees combined with Vorm and Llorente really opens up the squad for further incomings.

Feels odd having no deadwood to shift. Gone are the days of David Bentley hanging about like a bad smell every transfer window..

Bentley was a strange one, just fell out of love with the game, and saw out his time with us before calling it a day.
Shows the importance of mindset when looking at potential transfers though.

I love that we have basically replaced our deadwood with Clarke, Parrot, and Skipp.

Just feels the whole club is firing again with the academy, identifying good youth prospects, and getting in decent first teamers, whilst trimming the squad all in one Summer.

Still a bit of work to do but at least we've started to close the gap again.

Think with wanyama gone now the squad is in the ideal range numbers wise. Plenty of good options across the pitch and are neither overloaded nor light anywhere. If we don’t sell anyone else it’ll be a job well done by Daniel Levy

Plus it seems that we're happy to spend some serious wedge as well; Lo Celso, N'Dombele, Sessegnon and we were also after Dybala.

Happy days!

Does it really matter though? Let’s be honest you’re going to a team in the Belgian League. The Champions League has glamour but that’s a step down to a level where you’re basically hoping not to get battered.

It’s a trend I’ve noticed this season that a lot of English clubs have really struggled to shift on the deadwood. Not sure if it’s wages or what it is.

Dont jinx it

It's ok Bentley is retired now.

[nailsy]

That makes sense if the move is dependent on them getting through the CL qualifiers.

 

[dricha1]

Brugge through so this might move quickly now?

Will this be one of your last transfer updates ever?
