Virgil van Dijk

Why didn't we buy him from Celtic? Would have been a bargain. Lack of foresight? It was obvious at Celtic he had something about him, granted we'd have ended up paying more than Southampton did, but now we're likely to get rinsed by Southampton!!

That could be said of every other team, that didn't buy him. That's if it was true.

He could come to our international rescue.

Hes good player at Southampton, but then again so was Lovren. Should prioritise FB positions.

What's the reasoning behind that comment?

Dippers are quite excited about him going there for some reason.

Right now,i reckon he could have his choice of clubs.There isnt exactly a conveyor belt of talent at centre half.

Will cost 30m at least.

Not a fan at all. Plus we need someone composed next to Stones. Playing two inexperienced CB's together would do neither any favours. We definitely need someone who has been through the wars.

He's 25 no?

BT football writers podcast saying he will likely cost £60m

I definitely wouldn't rule out somehing approaching Stone's fee given his talent,his age and the fact Saints hold all the cards in terms of his contract.

So even though we can afford it.......Much like Vertonghen,Alderweild,and even Cahill.....its a shame much of the BM faithful weren't consulted when all were previously sold.
