Victor Wanyama

For me, you're going back to probably...

Tom Huddleston or someone like that to score with regularity from midfield you know you just don't get many of them do you maybe Victor Wanyama as well he did alright but I just think that he looks like that goal he scored in pre-season in like the one at the training ground I can't remember who it was against but the one that was on the from the corner it comes out and then on the full volley just smacks it into the top corner it was an unreal finish so he's got that in his locker as well and I know he's kind of being used as a it's not like a proper 10, is he? No.

I think he, Benton Core's been playing like the six and then him and then Tenali and Fernandes have sort of been playing as the more advanced eights in the team at the moment.

Yeah,

was a six I don't know if there was full clarification of that but Celtic still have ignored Disney unless we're planning on turning Sorensen into that sort of that player we didn't get a six do you think that's a do you think that's a mistake?

I think it was only because how many times I've seen it affect us before in Europe where McGregor just gets ran over the top of it and that's not to say anything about his ability but it's teams obviously target it you then think right do you try and play with a double pivot there and just give as much cover at the centre half especially when Dylan had touched on somebody like Dane Murray you need to consider playing in games he needs as much cover as he can get again feel terrible saying that but Celtic player but it's the truth aye it's the harsh truth aye so I would have liked to have seen him coming in no doubt getting a midfielder doesn't have a bad physicality about him no the rest of them are just tidy good footballers but sometimes you just need something a bit of ruggedness about them just to pull you through games A big Victor Wanyama.

There you go, when's the last time somebody sawed us in? Oliver Abelgard mate.

Do you know what, somebody posted about him, about Sawdust and said, oh that's going to be an Abelgard and I'm like, I generally forgot he was a Celtic player.

Sole defensive

midfielder in most of those games, right? So what that's, I mean, and I know we've had a punt at the likes of Abel Gard in that over times, like trying to sort of recruit for that position, but since Victor Wanyama, we have not had a proper defensive midfielder in there, a proper enforcer, a guy that gets you the 2-0 win that you, or 2-0 loss, sorry, that you need in last just by making sure that the base of the midfield is shored up.

We were so open It was a record number of shots on target against us.

It was just embarrassing how easily that area of the team caved in.

being at the stadium and

everyone shouting shoot there's a no head in hands I always think about Victor Wanyama for some reason I couldn't tell you why that's a good one but he's in a long range was an absolute bully this one goal and I think all the games I think goals he's just wasted how many shots yeah he's had proper that sort of stereotype defensive midfielder

nosebleed territory for him Sangare he's just big strong tackles well all over the pitch and yeah I'm sure if you asked a Forest fan like the difference with him in the team is like monumental compared to without him

is he the sort of player who won't win man of the match but will win player of the season sort of thing wouldn't it yeah for being consistent just helping the team out overall I get the shout it's really funny I feel like

That's Scott Brown's area.

That's Victor Wanyama's area.

Uh, and that's where we seem to...

I'm, I'm not gonna say fragile, 'cause it's not that extreme.

So you're selling the, the, the club, you're selling the Champions League prowess, and you're also selling the platform.

We're going to do what we've done with Matt O'Riley and Fraser Forster and Victor Wanyama, and there's lots and lots of examples.

And then when you get a John McGinn, you've actually got a fourth tool, and your fourth tool is he's a Celtic fan.

We're going to make all your dreams come true, and we still didn't get it over the line.

And the odds are they've only qualified three times.

And, and over and above that, if your strategy is we're going to run it as a business and take £1 to 3 million pounds punts on players, and then every now and then we might roll out a Virgil Van Dijk, a Victor Wanyama, and, and Kyogos, and people like that that we can sell on for huge amounts.

If that's your strategy, you're going to m- You...

As a business, well done.

[laughs] I mean, all within the laws of the game, John, but that's what was needed.

We need a Victor Wanyama or some type in there to just say-

Mm

... "Wait a minute.
