There was that ITK which said if our primary targets proved fruitless we'd bid Wanyamas release clause - could have legs this one

Tottenham are weighing up a move for Southampton midfielder Victor Wanyama.

The Kenya international worked under Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino at St Mary's and the Argentine is looking to add some steel to his side.

Speaking after Tottenham's 2-2 draw with Stoke, Toby Alderweirled suggested Spurs need a commanding central midfielder.

'Last season I didn't make one mistake. I want to prove myself here so it feels bad for me to make a mistake in my first home game,' he said.


'You have to play better because if you don't play football any more than they can put more pressure on you, get more guys in the box, and it's very difficult to defend every ball.

'At Southampton, Victor Wanyama and Morgan Schneiderlin put good pressure so they didn't have time to put the ball in the box — it makes it easier for defenders.

'We had to play better in the second half to deal with the pressure.'

I remember a couple of years ago thinking he looked good. Don't know if he has been any good since then.

 

[Finney Is Back]

I think the chances of Southampton selling Wanyama for anything other than an absolutely astronomical fee (that we are never going to offer) are somewhere between zero and zero.

Welcome to Rumour-Bingo...

 

[indianspur]

Poch, Koeman, Saints defence, Wanayama....all made to look good by Schneiderlin

...who was made to look good by Poch..

Nigel Adkins thinks otherwise

Surely they are somewhere between zero and his release clause?
Just sayin.

You know he's got one?

Oh really? You honestly don't think Schneiderlin's game improved tenfold under Poch when he came in?

 

[Gutter Boy]

You know he's got one?

The handful that exist in England tend to be ‘good faith’ release clauses, rather than an automatic release clauses anyway. So not binding

 

[indianspur]

Oh really? You honestly don't think Schneiderlin's game improved tenfold under Poch when he came in?

not really, all that happened was that people started to notice Schneiderlin more because he was playing in the PL

thats the type of player he is, every step up in competition he simply adjusts and proves his worth, from the Championship, to the PL, now in the CL, next year in Euro 2016, then the WC 2018

top player

To be fair to them as well as losing (the excellent) Schneiderlin to Man Utd, they have also lost their first choice keeper to injury, their left back to injury, their right back to Liverpool and one of their centre halves to us. I think even with Schneiderlin still there they would probably still look at bit under par defensively.

I beg to differ but time will tell how much of his rise is/was down Poch
Agree that he is a top player now though

Only to the extent that anyone knows anything about private business operations - the reporting of it.

As GB said, they are good faith agreements, but few clubs will go against them as it undermines their integrity.

If the selling club stand their ground though it, would have to go to arbitration and ultimately court (where they have never been tested in UK law). That could take 12-18 months, by which time the buyer's interest will have long passed.

It's only Iberia where they have solid legal status

We could potentially be on route to get 1 point from 3 games. Have one striker in the team and don't look close to getting anyone.

How has it even come to this
