Still makes more sense than Evans at LB. Pep is the guy who put Yaya at CB at Barcelona, hell will freeze over before someone like Evans ever plays at LB in his team.

Southampton won't sell him, not to Liverpool, us or anyone else (except maybe abroad). They have him on a contract until 2022 and are going to milk it for all it's worth.

Southampton were one of the few to vote against the corrupt ffp. I remember Swansea and Villa also voted against it along with us. I'm missing one, think it was WBA. Reading were paid off by the corrupt cartel to abstain when they were along with Southampton and Leicester the only ones in the...

Yep, but live in the new forest and know people close to the club so know quite well what happens there well beyond the media narrative that they will sell anything that moves. The fascination? This forum is a bit obsessed with the signing of a player I know we can't sign.

No, he said that because of the contract length, whatever they are offered now will still be offered in three years time, so what motivation would they have to sell their most important player now rather than then?

39 pages of speculation on a player neither we or anyone else have any chance of signing, how about we move on to realistic targets? Their manager has just said what I have been saying all along...

£60 million apparently. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2016/12/23/southampton-move-ward-offvirgil-van-dijk-suitors-placing-60m/

Nonsense. Every key player Dortmund have sold in the last six year had no more than 1 year left on their contracts or, in Götze's case, a release clause. And because of the Götze transfer they no longer do release clauses. The whole "contracts mean very little in terms of a players longevity at...

He doesn't. The Mirror's Darren Lewis has all but admitted on Jim White's radio show that all the Van Dijk stories were made up. Not exactly the most shocking news of the day.

He doesn't. Even £50m won't be enough.

Fonte is the one who will be leaving. Interesting that the Mirror mention the "40m rated Van Dijk" considering they were the ones who made up the whole 25m release clause nonsense.

It's Southampton that won't extend the contract beyond 2018 despite offering to increase his wages. Fonte will be 34 by then and wants a longer contract. Van Dijk won't be sold any time soon.

They only sold players because they were down to the final 2 years of their contracts and wouldn't renew, they wouldn't have sold them otherwise.

No point to this entire conversation then, the whole release clause story is nothing but tabloid clickbait.

Van Dijk doesn't have a release clause except in the imagination of the Mirror's hacks. Alderweireld probably does but it will have strings attached to trigger it otherwise he would have been gone in the summer, failure by Spurs to reach the champions league I would expect.

He's not available though. Southampton will not sell him.
