Kenya international Wanyama, 21, is poised to open talks with ambitious Saints next week.
The African powerhouse said: “My club has agreed a deal with Southampton, but I will also have to consider terms before I become a Saint.”
Saints have already splashed out £8.5m on Lyon defender Dejan Lovren.
And now they are aiming to beat Premier League rivals Stoke to the signing of Wanyama.

Tbh if he costs over 10 million I'm glad we're not bothering. It doesn't make sense for a club of our stature to be bidding such money for players like him. What we should be doing is beating the likes of Celtic when You can get them for 700k from source.

He's 21 years old, who ripped Barcelona a new arse. It seems he could be worth double the amount mentioned in three years time.
We could beat Southampton to his signature,which appears to be Hughes thinking.
Maybe a gamble worth taking...

Odd that it's us, Southampton and Cardiff linked and not Chelsea, Real Madrid or Bayern then

Not that odd.
Still a bit raw, with the odd rash tackle. Not a twenty million pound player yet, but only 21.
Quick, good passer and proven in the Champions League, but may not be able to hold down a first team place in a top four team. Ripped Barcelona apart. Would improve our central midfiled, and would more than likely be sold for a big profit.
Would fit our new policy.

I'll be shocked if we sign anyone for double(million) figures. I think we will if the right player comes available. Got a feeling of a younger pairing of Crouch and Palacios, with Wanyama and Hooper?

MirrorSouthampton seem to be very strongly linked. At £12m, you can see why teams are hesitating. But Southampton seem to be in spending overdrive. I can't see us being interested in him for that kind of money, unless the deal includes a swap of some sort. No, we prefer to spend that amount on 2 or 3 players instead trying to find a good one that will fit for a bargain £5m, or at least we did. Why not just go for the man that is sure to improve you at a higher price. £12M is nothing these days for a classy player at 21 with his best years still ahead.

Personally I wouldn't sign anyone for the heart of a team who is going to go missing for at least 4 to 6 weeks covering approx 20% of the season (and usually one of the most important parts of the season - FA Cup rounds 3 and 4 and 6 to 8 league games) every 2 years. Guess what- the next ACN is this coming January/February in South Africa Its caused chaos for teams in the past - Newcastle 2 years ago was a fiasco due to ACN and it seemed to wreck their season.

I agree, he is exactly the kind of player we should be buying. I was just under the impression that the days of us spending 10+ million on a player began and ended with Crouch. We'd have to ship out some CM's if we did get him.

If we need 1 or 2 players then I agree, go for him. But in reality we need 6 or 7 so spending 10 million on bloke just isn't feasible imo.
Now if we could sell Adam and Edu and get 6 million for the pair......

Now if we could sell Adam and Edu and get 6 million for the pair...... 6million ... Let me be optimistic for once in my life! 4 million for Adam and 2 million for international and Bursaspor star Edu isn't too far off what I think we should about get actually.

Charlie Adam is worth 3million on a good day (bearing in mind his 45k per week wages), and Edu would no even command a fee as I would imagine we want him off the books seen as we pay him a pretty penny and has played about 25 minutes for us. I thought you were one of the "sensible" fans Bayern

I agree about Adam but not Edu. He went on loan to Bursaspor and did bloody well, he's a proven international, he's worth a million of anyone's money at least. I have no idea how rich Bursaspor are but a few Turkish sides seem to be chucking money around for fun. In a monetry sense I think he'll be one of TP's better deals.

1 full back
a midfielder
a striker (& only if Crouch or Jones go)
we have 4 wingers,yes there are quation marks over all of them but we do have them if we sign a left back Wilson can play midfield or right back
yup 2 to 3 players
in which case huge fee for one player - who wont command insane wages - might not be as unlikely as otherwise it might seem
