Wanyama Speaks
After the issues of the past week or so Victor Wanyama has spoken in his native Kenya about his intentions on his return to England.
Quoted on Kenyan website www.capitalfm.co.ke Wanyama hs said.
"I will fully concentrate on Southampton since I have a contract with them running. It didn’t affect me in any way. I’m still a Southampton player and I will give my best when I go back and hopefully, we will win more games.
"It has been difficult for the team when I was away but things will be alright. These things happen but I’m good to go,”
He continued
"Our intention was to do well in the play-offs in my first appearance in the tournament but we have to focus to return to Europe next season,”
"It was disappointing but we have to move on. We have a young team and we had to get experience and come next season we hope it will be better,”
Promising words from Wanyama who although a little non committal about what the future holds, did not indicate that he intended to move on at the earliest opportunity either.
What it did suggest though is that Wanyama is just as likely to be at St Mary's next season than not, that like any quality player he is open to all options, but like any professional he will do his best for whatever club he is contracted to.
The problem for Saints these days is that as they get a better squad, you get players with ambition and that means they want to keep on improving the clubs they are playing for, no one should blame Wanyama for being flattered by Spurs alleged interest indeed I would rather than he had that ambition inside him than not that is what makes a quality footballer, the drive to keep striving for the top.
What to read next:
Swansea City : Ronald Fighting Back ? The Indy take a look We welcome back Trystan Bending to the Indy for yet another clever insight into the Swans. This time he focuses on Ronald Pereira Martins, the Swansea City utility winger who can play on both sides of the pitch and across the front line.
Swans in another goal glut game but no finishing power If we look at the players who just are not performing for the Swans then three new bodies are needed come January. If these individuals can be replaced it may well give the Swans the lift they need, especially in games like today. Having said that the Swans had more than enough chances to win this game today.
Swans v Pompey : An odd connection & pre match chatIt’s match day again, when you play on a Wednesday they really come round quickly. After today v Portsmouth at the Swansea.com (3pm) the Swans will have a week off … before travelling to Luton for a game next Saturday.
Swansea City ready to increase misery on Pompey ? The last time Portsmouth played was on November 9th. That day they beat Preston 3-1. Bearing in mind that came before the International break and some twenty one days ago tomorrow they certainly do come into this game fresh.
Swansea City turn the tables on their bad luck & beat Derby I am going to make no apologies for this match report. The win was deserved, but how it came about after so many poor performances in the second half I will never know. I haven’t been watching football as long as some and I am delighted of course the Swans got the points. However, we have seen teams do that to us for a few seasons. Just maybe for once it was our turn ?
