Wanyama close to joining Southampton

Wanyama isn't Manchester United class

You have to be careful about taking players from Scotland. The league is vastly inferior to the Premiership. A typical example was Anthony Stokes. Came to Sunderland after scoring goals for fun in Scotland. He was worse than useless when he went to the prem. And that's not even someone going to one of the top teams. Another example is Samaras, absolute dung in the prem league but scored goals up there. Not saying Waynama isn't decent but how do we know? Big gamble. I'd prefer to see proven quality.

I don't believe Samaras ever played in the premier league but from a Rangers fan Wanyama is a beast & will be a big part of someone's 1st team in The EPL believe me the lad has huge potential he is one of the strongest young men I've ever seen play he has a good shot handy in the air strong tackler with much to learn but great chance of being a huge player probably not at Utd though. Don't see many people complain about Van Bronkhorst, Arteta, Petrov Larsson or more recently Jelavic, Steven Fletcher Mcarthur & McCarthy came from Hamilton Accies Christ sake our leagues have some very good players.

He played for man city and was awful the Scottish league is too he's below average. Gnz989

Every game he played in the champions league against good teams he played great so whys everyone saying its a big gamble he is only 21 awell and will only cost around 10 million and we paid 12 for zaha

Yeah sure he did well for Celtic in Europe, but expectations are different when you play for United. Mistakes get highlighted a lot more, as does a poor performance. i'm not trying to disrespect the player or the Scottish league. Take Berbatov as another example if you want. Appeared brilliant at Spurs, but all of a sudden at United looks lethargic and inconsistent. I think it's a bigger risk taking a player from Scotland as some of the opposition they face each week is not the best so it's harder to be sure of the quality thats

Wanyama performed well against Barca and Juve. The SPL may be ordinary but this guy is good. Not saying we should buy him but he's a lot better than some on here think.

Pip

Agreed with the poster above. No disrespect intended but the quality in the SPL is low compared to the pl, so it's hard to judge players ability with any consistency as they are playing high level opposition rarely if at all, a few good games in Europe is not enough to judge effectively by.

He does look like he has real potential though.

Who would you prefer Anderson and Cleverly or Wanyama I know who i'd pick

If you looked at Cleverley when he was at Wigan, he made a big impact. People were comparing Anderson to Ronaldinho before he joined United. I think you've proven my point for me. Different levels of expectation at different clubs.

Just seen rio tweeting about Zaha and Williams to entertain him tonight in the playoffs! Obviously zaha is a done deal, but has there been any interest shown in Williams? Looks like a quality young player.

Shoppers

Zaha was utter crap last night. Another crap signing by saf and his brother.

Williams is steady, i'd say very average, a modern day Tom Sloan would be the best description.
Raffa

What do you expect when their are 3 players marking him?! Give the lad a break!

There**!

Ste.

Zaha has been bought for his future potential. Do you honestly expect him to be as good as Ronaldo every single game. He will only play a few games next year, maybe even be loaned out. The press over hype english players and then persons like you believe whatever you read and are so quick to shoot youngsters down. If a 17-19 year old isn't banging in 20 goals a season you say they are useless. Give them a chance!

today papares: Rooney Want to Stay. He will play under his last manager.

BBC confirmed this news too.

Is anybody else gutted that Moyes is manager? Done nothing in Europe, never managed top class players, never been at top end of table, who will he attract to the club?

Rooney should be sold. for a player to put in not once but two transfer requests shows he isn't committed to the team. Time to sell and get/keep players that want to play for us.
Let's see if anyone else will overpay his £250k a week wage.

melwing28

I suppose we should be grateful to rooney for wanting to stay after all he's only getting £250,000 a wk!no one should need to be begged to stay at our great club. he needs to go I for one will not forget how ungrateful and disrespectful he has been to the club sir alex and the fans!ps best of luck to david moyes the man will need time and this club will give him time unlike other clubs were after sustained success not a quick fix!REDWILL

Rooney out. Lewandowski in

Hold on a mo. If Rooney goes who else is going to roll the turf flat. If he wants out then out him. He's like a big baby. Get fit Wazza, score 20 plus goals a season and earn some respect. I'm sure there is someone out there who would give their right arm to be in your position Wazza. Grow Up. Rock the red.

Rooneys gone. Doesn't matter if he wants to stay the club will get rid of him.

No one is bigger than the club. Look what happened to Stam, Beckham, Heinze, Van Nistelroy and Keane. Great players all but SAF got rid of them. He persuaded Rooney to stay two years ago but it's hard to believe that Rooney has repaid that loyalty. Overweight, unfit and a large number of very poor performances this season. Of course he's only on £250,000 per week! Bye bye Wayne.

Rooney Who???

Guys have you actually been down to a match live and actually watch rooney play because he's been giving his all every match covers every blade of grass but has been out shown by rvp scoring goals but his work rate is still top notch!
HEN

I genuinely find the whole thing with Rooney hilarious, I mean do any think that this recent crap about him wanting to leave is true? it's all paper talk aimed at you gullible bunch of people. As for his performances this season he's had his bad games maybe more than in other seasons but he's played more like a CAM he set up RvPs beautiful goal vs west ham, his beautiful goal vs villa, kagawa wouldn't have got his hatrick against norwich if Rooney hadn't played.

Don't slag him off for a lack of goals because really that's all you're doing, personally I'd hate to see him leave.

Ozwald

Well it's safe to say I feel like a complete kn*b now! Take back what I said.

One more thing Ed, are you aware of how much (roughly) the club has available for transfers this summer? Also, will the targets change now that Moyes is confirmed?

Dan {Ed002's Note - I really have no interest in discussing money Dan as it causes confusion. I expect the targets will be largelyunchanged but as I said, I think Fellaini might be looked at as an option.}

Fair enough Ed, could you say that we will have as much firepower as last summer in the market though?

Dan {Ed002's Note - I have no idea what "as much firepower as last summer in the market" means Dan. Talking in cliches is best avoided. After all, fine words butter no parsnips.}

Ok Ed haha, how about if I put it like this. Would we be able to afford Lewandowski, Strootman and Garay ar market prices?

Dan {Ed002's Note - I am pretty sure the word "afford" is money based Dan.}

I'm just looking for some butter on my parsnips. :)
