Matthew Le God Posted 14 July, 2014 Share Posted 14 July, 2014 (edited) Can anyone explain where Big Vic is? Wasn't at WC so I don't understand why he's not been back so far? He has been at Saints training since 1st July, but for the Holland/Belguim trip... Victor Wanyama misses the trip as he prepares to represent Kenya in a 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Lesotho. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/13072014-saints-arrive-in-belgium-1751827.aspx#s3bCpCoGTwARFBqz.99 Edited 14 July, 2014 by Matthew Le God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polaroid Saint Posted 14 July, 2014 Share Posted 14 July, 2014 Diet is very important, dill is claimed by some to be the world's healthiest food. Absolutely! I did hear players had been issued with new training gherkins. All the rage these days, like sports bras for men, players couldn't wait to pop 'em on at the WC and Tadic clearly loves his. Hang on...

Barry the Badger Posted 14 July, 2014 Share Posted 14 July, 2014 It's not really a job though, is it? They get paid millions a year to kick a ball about with their mates, whilst gaining global stardom and global sponsorship. I certainly wouldn't be miffed at having to go back to ''work'', that's not work to me... I'm sure that somebody who does a much ****ter job than you for a lot less money would say the same thing about you. It's all about perspectives.

I don't think he's worth that much money, which makes me think that we didn't really get such an offer. Maybe his agent was playing games, or the club trying to raise his price? Remember Shaw and Lallana were rumored to be leaving for a little bit more than what they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your hosts turn up with a well publicised problem, then you don't ask about it. It's just bad manners, but then manners seem to have largely disappeared these days.

Coldridge Posted 16 July, 2014 Share Posted 16 July, 2014 Any time you see him in any of the footage/photography from pre-season, he looks like a petulant child who has been forced to accompany his mother on a shopping trip. A far cry from his cheery demeanour throughout the course of last season. Will never know the true extent of how he's behaving behind the scenes, but would expect that Koeman would remove him if he was creating a negative atmosphere. At any rate, it's clear he doesn't want to be here any more. Don't expect to see any instagram/twitter happy looking photos of him in his training kit etc until it's got a Liverpool crest on it. Would give left testicle to do the double over Liverpool this season. Would give both to finish above Liverpool and Spurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrant Posted 16 July, 2014 Share Posted 16 July, 2014 But we've already reportedly turned down £20m.

So if that's correct it's not really about not selling any more players it's about getting the maximum amount of money for them then. If we set price tags, even at 25 million, then we say pay up or shut up rather than not for sale. Koeman said no more sales and yet we've put a price tag on one if anyone cares to pay it.

There's always a price tag on every player in the world, and it's never the club that will announce one, but the media. Once it gets to a certain point, the squad ends up better off by taking the money and reinvesting it. When a player publicly wants out, unfortunately, that point is lowered.
