Watching some Van Dijk compilations. Never noticed what a quality long-pass he has. And when you add his athleticism, pace and aerial ability. And also plays LCB. Despite being right-footed.
No wonder pep wants him.
I hope it's true that Pep does genuinely want him & it's not all bollocks.
But having said that, if 70 mil was the true figure they are asking, that is obscene. I'm not sure anyone will pay that on a cb, until after Utd do.
I agree, 70m is a bit..yeah.
Not to mention when we start paying these kinds of sums, we set in motion the inflation of the market that we'll eventually suffer from, not only our rivals.
So, best to stay away if S'ampton don't play ball for ~50m tops.

Overall? No, I agree with you. On the pitch, I think the argument could be made.So.... Not a better option then :-)
Yeah yeah of course 500m assuming the Sheikh can cover enough of that so the club doesn't turn a loss.
Continually losing your best players must really piss you off,i know it would me.Hope he doesn't leave us this season. He is a cracking player and think he's improved from last season.
Saints don't need to sell and have heard he's not asked to (yet anyway).
IF he does though I just hope he doesn't join Liverpoop!
Yes, the Sun. Say no more.A year ago nobody would have valued him at any more than 25M, so I cannot see how 2/3 of a marvellous season trebles his value, (albeit 70M is probably made up bollocks by the Sun)
He's already dealt strong with Bernardo Silva, Madrid paid £20m more for an inferior player from Monaco in James Rodriguez. That was a few years back and look at transfer prices since.Ffs 50 mills is standard starting bid when it comes to city . Hope txiki deals strong this summer.
