Who Will Be The Victor ? Wanyama !

If media reports are to be believed Saints are still in the hunt for Victor Wanyama from Scottish champions Celtic.

Earlier today it was reported that Saints were losing out in their bid to sign Victor Wanyama from Celtic and that although a bid had been accepted by Celtic, reportably anywhere between £10 - 12 million, the deal had broken down due to personal terms being unable to be agreed between Saints and the player.

That seemed to pave the way for Cardiff City who were alledgedly tempting the 21 year old kenyan with a more money than Saints, however news stories thi afternoon are saying that the deal is not yet dead and that Wanyama's representatives are still in talks with Saints.

From a Saints point of view of course its good to be linked with a player rated as highly as Wanyama, however I would say its not a deal that we would be desperate to do in the fact that we have adequate cover in the central midfield defensive role that the Kenyan plays, hopefully that should ensure that we arent held to ransom over terms, from a playing point of view it would be nice to strengthen, especially with a player who is versatile as Wanyama can also play in the centre of defence, but its not essential.
