Virgil van Dijk

[OhSoGroovy]

Would’ve loved to have seen him get on the end of those sublime corners from KDB & Sané. Plus, a little more physical presence & height in the team never hurt anyone.

Ah, well.

Liverpool are the second best team in the league with no defence so a 75m outlay on a world-class center back makes sense for them in the long-term. Guessing this means we'll go in for Inigo Martinez at 32m which seems to be good business

So why would a team with the best defensive record in the league shell out £75M with two first team starters coming back into the team? Some fans just like collecting sweeties whatever the inflated cost is.

Done

For that price, they're welcome to him. Way, way overpriced. PEG will be sobbing uncontrollably in a darkened room in the Lowry! And as for the lovely Duncan!

Coutiniho will be sold to pay for this transfer.

Exactly

Says a lot about VVD if he chooses Liverpool over us. He's just turned down a PL winners medal plus whatever else we're going to win over the next few years. He must be a fool. He's just chosen to drink Rola Cola when he could have had a Coke. Baffling.

I think a lot of factors come into this transfer saga mate. One being we don't want to pay the asking price Southampton are asking for (75mil is it?), whereas Liverpool are willing to pay the price (which is understandable) because they're desperate. Another factor being he's weighed his options up and thinks he's more likely going to play more games at Liverpool than at us which is understandable considering Stones and Otamendi have been the best centre back partnerships in the league so far this season, and from our point of view there's no reason to fix something that's not been broken.

Fuck him. If he wants to go there then let him go - fuck knows what Klopp has promised him when he tapped him up at the start of the year but he’s obviously gullible enough to believe him.

In all seriousness he would be coming in as third/fourth choice. The way Stones and Ota have played this year means he gets nowhere near starting XI.

 

[Don Karleone]

Said this before, I just don't see him being worth that much. It's insane money.

 

[pudge]

Second best team in the league?

Do people type these things with a straight face?

75 mill, holy shit, he's bang average if you ask me.
