Is there any news on the Wanyama front?

We need to sort out and protect our defence, otherwise we can forget about any chance of top four. Man U and Pool have only scored two goals each but both of them have 7 points because they have both conceded 0. We have scored 3 and have 2 points. I think it is critical that we sign a top class defensive midfielder. Toby has said that it was a lot easier to defend at Southampton last year with Sneiderlin and Wanama protecting the back four. All great teams have been founded on a rock solid defence ( Barca are the exception). Hopefully, we will sign a defensive midfielder before the end of the transfer window, but I have grave doubts.

Agree 100%, we are lacking that steel and belief we had last season and the heads of the players are dropping instead of fighting and grinding out results. Wanyama would be a great start IMO. I think we need two more players for sure. Wanyama for me and one of three, Austin, Berahino or my wildcard Michu!

The league is already looking more competitive this season so it's vital we start getting results sorted starting against Everton (2-1) is my bet. Before we are left with a mountain to climb. I believe we will do it but who else could we get this late in the window realistically?

Any thoughts?

Yep a true defensive midfielder is essential!! Benteleb, mason and Dier are not the answer! In fairness Dier hasn't done a terrible job in there but it's not his position and we need a specialist in there, most of all a leader!!

On another note well pleased we got Son in today!COYS
