Victor Wanyama

[Totti]

Definitely great to see him back in training.

 

[Bill Madrid]

People tried to get one going for him last season based off of the Lion sleeps tonight. Never came to fruition however

Wanyama my lord, Wanyama
Wanyama my lord, Wanyama
Wanyama my lord, Wanyama
Oh Victor Wanyama

 

[Wallander]

We need this guy back fit and firing. He transforms the team by being a defensive beast and authoritative with the ball. He got our team on the front-foot so often in 2016/17.

I'm not prepared to write the big man off just yet. He was so important his first season with us and the game these days is a squad game. I've seen people write players like Lamela off after numerous long term injuries only for him to come back and stamp his mark again, as long as Victor wears our colours I'll back him and trust the managers judgement. Really hoping he shakes this off and gets a spell where he can find his stride again because when he does he is a great asset that'll only make us stronger

 

[Thin Lilywhite Duke]

Back in training today and immediately picked up another knee injury. Going to be really hard to sell him.

Could have a good guess as to how any potential medical might go:

 

[Totti]

What an odd sub.

The guy we wanted gone in the summer suddenly has more value to a game than Dier and Skipp.

 

[Wallander]

 

[VoiceOfThePoshSeats]

Miss him and Dembele so much

 

[Blanchflower]

Great thread :lameladisgust:

 

[SoCalSpurs]

Fuck victor wanyama...we have mason, bentaleb and caroll you fucking retards

Quality post from a 12 year old :dembelewtf:

 

[superstaryid]

I think as an out and out dm Wanyama is probably better than Dier, but with Dier obviously having the higher ceiling

I have an ITK in the building game who has assured me Dier has a standard 8ft ceiling.

 

[Tomo]

Looks like it's done. Very good signing, can dominate a midfield as well as anyone, means we don't have to shit ourselves when Dier or Dembele are absent.

Could be out next Toby level signing.

 

[MKYid]

Those I recall have mostly been rash challenges, leading with the studs and the like....But I maintain, he has a tendency towards nasty tackles,

Good. We play enough London derbies against teams who hate us, I'll enjoy watching him fucking up some Goons, Chavs and Spammers.

[Spursinho]

I can't understand people that say we had a bad window because of Sissoko and Jansen etc.

If we sign a player as good as big Vic every season we'll be world beaters

 

[Guido 🇺🇦]

Again, stats in isolation and without context don't mean a lot..........but
This did surprise me, I didn't expect Wanyama to be this prolific at dribbling. It is the reason why I think he is better than Dier at DM, defensively and positionally both him and Dier there is little to choose from, but rarely do you see Dier attempt to take on a player. It's important as it's another tool in the amour to beat an opposition press, Dier's main weakness is when he is pressed he is often forced to playing a bad pass. (I am not having a pop at Dier, I love him and he is vital to our tactical flexibility, without Dier Poch can't switch between 4 or 3 at the back without having to make subs).

[Clynelish]

Couldn't have chosen a better moment to score the goal of the season.

 

[Totti]

Love this view.
