Player Watch: Victor Wanyama

[L-man]

Lesniak or Wanyama debate from BC.

This up there with when he said he'd be more upset with losing Edwards or Winks than Lloris

Bentaleb.


Come at me fam.

Nah.

Can't afford to wait for him to get his shit together (that's if poch keeps him here).

The position is too crucial.

I do still think that Bentaleb is a fantastic left back waiting to happen though.

He can join Yedlin as LWF.

 

[thinktank]

Which is near enough impossible, he's a unique player. It's either we scourer around looking for a Dembele light and get nowhere or we utilise the tools we already have i..e Bentaleb.

We could, but it'd be a mistake imo.

Stobart said in one of his recent transfer videos that Bentaleb has apparently been very impressive in training since he came back from his injury. Other players have said he's the hardest worker in training so I think he'll be fine.

 

[Jamturk]

If you think they are cover or competition for Dembele, next season, especially, you're not taking the situation seriously and you don't appreciate just how important Dembele is to us.

Buying a similar standard player to Moussa will cost some serious wonga, and just for back up too.

Unrealistic.

Poch doesn't rotate, squad harmony, giving youngsters a chance to progress, need a Striker for back up.

 

[Shadydan]

It makes more sense then looking for a needle in a haystack.

 

[THFCSPURS19]

Hazard captained Belgium and hes hardly a leader.

Well Kompany's the actual Captain. To be fair, Chiriches is the captain of Romania so I see where you are coming from.

Well, if it happens we'll see. Would be perfect as he knows what's what here and would love to see him properly come through and maintain some consistency.

I have severe doubts though.

I just think his head has been on the wrong setting for this squad and it won't work for him under poch.

At this stage what we buy in should also be competition. That's the quality level we need through the squad.

I really think people are underestimating what kind of season lies ahead and how incredibly competitive it's going to be.

A long term injury to dembele needs to be well planned for in our contingency.

I hope poch and his team are thinking more seriously than a lot of fans seem to be.

No one is saying we need a clone. We just need a very finely targeted player.

I think you need to temper your expectations.

 

[thinktank]

I think you need to temper your expectations.

I think you need to raise yours.

 

[double0]

This is a very sensible appointment of Wanyama if it goes through just like Alderweireld, solid player that will add strength.

 

[Jamturk]

I think you need to raise yours.

What are your expectations for the coming season?

What would you deem Success/failure?

 

[thinktank]

What are your expectations for the coming season?

For us to be adequately prepared.

What would you deem Success/failure?[

I don't think like that. I just want us to properly compete throughout the season at the height of our ability with maximum effort and I'm a happy bunny (and if you do that it usually brings good things).

 

[Shadydan]

No one is saying we need a clone. We just need a very finely targeted player.

So...yeah like I said we can try and find such a player or try and nurture what we already have have.

Wanyama is the captain of Kenya.

I'm sure it was you yourself who said that Wanyama is basically the captain of Kenya because he's the only decent player.

I think I said Kenya don't qualify for major tournaments because Wanyama is their only decent player.

 

[millsey]

Wanyama is the captain of Kenya.

Prob cause he is there best player.
Difference between captain and vocal experienced leader on the pitch
