I see Wanyama as this years Alderweireld. It such a freakin' logical transfer, I would be surprised if it doesn't happen. May not be extremely exciting, but if it pans out as with Alderweireld, it will work out.

Finally some ITK! Pure DM was a vital acquisition for us. Dier should still start as he has a higher ceiling but finally some cover, and the option to play two in some tough games or to close some out. Makes sense with contract running down too. Saves funds for 1-2 attacking players, where the extra £££ could make more of a difference.
Anyone who has a problem with this just remember Poch would be signing him again, he knows his qualities in his system better than anyone...

The new stadium's going to need hoddies I guess.
But Poch's Southampton also were the worst in the league for dropping points from winning positions with Wanyama.

Have you seen Scneiderlin performing without Wanyamma by his side these past 12 months? That says it all for me

Basically that is what a good DM worth for.

Sell Mason for £8m, Carroll for £5m and sign Wanyama for what? £15m? He's a huge upgrade on both of those two and it'd only set us back £2m. Reliable, PL quality squad depth is exactly what we need. Wanyama ticks that box.

I think £20m is probably going to be cheap in a year that looks as though prices are going to be sillier than ever.

That was the right move wasn't it. Not that I'm smirking or anything...

People weren't that excited over Alderweireld either and he was a revelation for us. At this point I trust poch 100% to identify our weaknesses and address with the perfect player.

Would be a great signing for when we look on the ropes and need to hold onto a point or 3. Someone who can come off the bench, breakup the momentum of the opposition and helps drive us forward. Although rather one dimensional; every team needs one of his kind.

Cant think of a better DM with Prem experience. Especially at that price. Witsel is interesting but would cost much more and would take a while to settle.

I think Poch had waited a year to sign him thinking he had Dier as a back up DM for Bentelab. Now with Bentelab out of favor, uncertainty for Mason, it would be an important addition with UCL to play for. We probably need one more Toby back up as well so that Dier can focus his development into another Dembele type of player. Just hope Bentelab will step up next season else we should ship him out.
