Very hard pass from me. Nico’s quality is finally being revealed to all and he’s only 3 years younger than VVD and still under 30. If VVD was 23-25 I’d be all in.

I’d much prefer we go the younger route and keep building what looks to be a potentially special pairing with Stones + Nico.

Let’s also not forget how much value having a year under Pep has...and Nico would have a second as well.
 
Pep, Tixcki, Ferriano have always stated that a manager should be 3 years and that's it. We may get a 4th out of him, but I think that will be it. Those three have strong views on this subject and it has been stated many times. We will either be gutted or delighted. At the moment, gutted, but who knows?
 
Van Dijk on the left and Stones on the right is sexy. For the reported £60m, I doubt this pushes through in January though. Despite what people are saying, even we have a limit in our budget.
 
I don't rate him that highly, I think the setup at Southampton is a big help. Lovren amd Fonte have left Southampton as highly rated centre backs and look what's happened outside that comfort zone.
 
I would think that his complete lack of application alongside Forster on Saturday would put Pep off him. That being said, he'll probably be really up for next Wednesday.
 
Very good proven player who would fit in perfectly.

A drop in form when you are desperate to leave means nothing (see Sanchez)

I hope we get both.
 
Thought he was commanding at times tonight, just not sure where he fits in as you don’t spend that much to have on the bench!

You would rotate him with Stones and Otamendi or even play them with in a 3. They would get more than enough game time over a season with injuries and amount of games to be played.
