What a beast wanny was against boro. Totally bossing it. So impressed with this guy. Professional through and through. Keeps delivering top top performances. I'm tempted to say he's been our best player this season.
Player of the season so far no question, others would be in with a shout but have missed games - Wanyama has been there week in week out
Danny Rose for me a she is the outstanding defensive player in the league
Victor is right u there an d has been a brilliant signing
Some might say Dele Alli has upped his level and has won us several points with his goals. For me it is still Wanyama's to lose. I recall when he signed many supporters felt under whelmed and there was a generally held feeling he would be a squad player behind Dier. Funny how that has worked out.Would depend on how long Rose is out for, for me - Rose/Vertonghen/Alderweireld all in the conversation though

I listened with interest when Wenger talked about trying to sign Ngolo Kante in the summer only to be out priced by Chelsea. If he had been a little more imaginative he would have signed Wanyama instead. How their midfield and defence could do with him.
Plus while Kante tore Arsenal apart at the weekend Wanyama had Kante in his pocket at the Lane, which played a big part in beating the Scum bags.
No posts on Wanyama in well over a month?!
Against Southampton (and many other teams) he made it look like men against boys. He appears to dispossess the opposition without any difficulty time after time. His fitness levels are extraordinary and I for one am delighted we have him. In games like the last one we could easily have lost it if our midfield hadn't controlled the game and he's the controller. For all Dembele's sexy football, Wanyama is the one who we need to dominate Kante if we stand a chance of beating Cheatski in the semi final.
He is my player of the season for us so far, however i thought he was ( like all our players) a little off his/their games yesterday i can not remember seeing him mis-control the ball as many times in a game before. Not saying he was poor or anyway near that but it was not his usual standard ( imo).
Thing is, Wanyama has quickly dropped into that Hugo/Toby/Rose group, where excellence is just the norm, they produce every game, it's no longer a surprise to see these players have very good games, the surprise is when they have just a good/ok game.
In this market, he's an absolute fudging bargain at 16m, especially when Kante went for 30m+ .. Keep it up Victor, I love ya!
11m I thought it wasWanyama has been one of the most 'pleasant surprise' signings we've ever made, at least in my opinion.
I fully expected him to come in and be a solid squad player, largely coming off the bench and filling in when required.
But man, he really has cemented himself as one of, if not the first choice in our starting lineup. Not only does he read the play brilliantly (breaking things up, covering, snapping in) but he can pass. (Many doubted this early on)
He has also chipped in with crucial goals and I just love his general attitude and work ethic. He has an engine like few players I've ever witnessed.
