or or or....................The exact same thing, but 4-3-3?
Not many fans on here have ever heard of any other formations other than 4-5-1 and 4-4-2.

To be fair 4-5-1 and 4-3-3 are virtually the same as in a four -3-3 the two wingers still come back to defend so it is pretty much still a 4-5-1

Its obvious this thread is incorrect. as the odds suggested all along, they barely moved.

Southampton bid 12 mil 2 days ago, Wanyama didn't want to go there and now we've come in and bid 10 mil.

Cardiff City are in the driving seat to land £10m target Victor Wanyama, but the race is hotting up for the Celtic powerhouse.
The Bluebirds are still waiting to hear whether their record-busting offer for the 21-year-old will be accepted by the Parkhead side.
Cardiff have almost matched the offer Southampton made for the Kenyan international which was accepted by the Hoops, although Wanyama could then not agree personal terms with the Saints.
It is believed Malky Mackay’s Bluebirds are ready to push the boat out on their first summer signing and are closer to meeting Wanyama’s wage demands.
But the on-going transfer saga has alerted others to the midfielder’s availability with Liverpool and Newcastle reportedly monitoring the player’s situation.

If Cardiff had any real chance of signing him at the stage negotiations are at now, there is no way on earth you would be 6/1 as the weight of money going on Cardiff would drive the price down... yet its going up and up.

You seem to be forgetting this happened quite late yesterday evening. Markets close......with all these newspaper stories I expect the odds to shorten considerably today when the markets re-open.
Just remember, bellamy was odds on to go to Tottenham, malky to Everton, given to us......people react to stories.

So if the markets open in 50 mins and you are still 6/1, I expect considering you are in the driving seat, you will be staking a very large amount of money on it. after all you should be odds on right?
know how to do a screenshot?

I dont bet on transfers as they change so quickly.
Im not saying we are going to sign him or not, im just saying your whole basis for us not signing him is the fact we aren't favourites with the bookies. Which is stupid.

you may get him in the future if talks continue to stall and you up your bid... but at THIS moment in time its clear you are not really in the frame.

Amazing I have no interest whatsoever in Swansea's transfer targets and certainly wouldn't go on one of their sites to discuss them.
So it amazes me you know so much (& seem to care) about our possible transfers?
Bit creepy TBH.
