Virgil van Dijk

£60m, good grief.

At least Stones will have some weight off his shoulders.

He can change his name to Pebbles

Southampton bottled it 70m they wanted got him for a snip.

 

[Armaan]

A strong lpool itk says it's a done deal to us.

 

[Kompany is King]

Forget the cost.
Does he improve us. I think yes.

 

[Matt Diablo]

Ffs how good are we going to be?! Will be us in final this time next year . . .

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Hmm. Whilst Stones and Otamendi haven't strictly been bad signings, we do seem to have developed an ugly proclivity to grossly overpay for centre backs.

Stones - £47m+
Mangala - £32m
Otamendi - £31m

If we must break the transfer record paid for a defender, I would hope for someone of the ilk of Bonucci or Alderweireld.

Mangala was 42m

 

[Jalfraag]

Mangala was 42m

It was reported in the notes to the accounts that it was 32M. Some rag journalist came up with 42.
It is a criminal offence to knowingly report incorrect information.

 

[TRUE BLUE NO1]

If we sign Dijk, could this mean Ota on his way? Rumours were Ota had some important offers for the summer....Kompany, Stones, Dijk and Kolarov would seem enough cover for the CB position.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Mangala was 42m

Really?!

Isn't he reportedly on the brink of signing for Newcastle for £18m? Boy, did we make a stinker of an investment there.
