Virgil van Dijk

Is that a Clarkie

More like a "Van Clarkie", shirley?

As some have said, once Stones is fit again would he get in front of him or Otamendi? If I was him I'd go for guaranteed first team football - and he'll get that at Liverpool and the Rags.

At Liverpool, he'd certainly get in. FFS; I'd get in ahead of Lovren and Klavan. Not so sure about the vermin though. After all (you're my Alan Ball), they got the Face and Smallthing; the best CB pairing in the wiorld.

Mate he's Dutch, they're not going to the World Cup.

Ooops. Haha. He’ll surely want to come to us then.

I've been pretty skeptical that this'll get done but Sammy Lee made a good point on twitter the other day that it would be really odd for the club to be briefing journalists that we're interested in Van Dijk if we weren't confident the feeling was mutual and that we could get something done with Southampton. Especially after he was so public about his desire to go to 'Pool earlier this summer. Fingers crossed.

 

[I'm no cynic but...]

If he has any sense, he'd join a club where he plays 50% games and gains the trophies that a professional should attain to. His other options are to stay at, or join, a club that pays him something like City might, but also at the risk of being part of a team that gets booed off the field regularly.

Plus at least here, he won't get dragged out every second day to do a scripted interview on how big a Liverpool fan he was as a boy, how special and unique a club it is and how great it is to play at Klanfield.

If it was important to him then we could sign him but allow these interviews to take place. #diversity

Hope this comes through. Would love to have him if he's willing to be the third choice for a little while atleast.

It's certainly completely against how the club has operated in recent years. Usually everything on the player side is negotiated and agreed months in advance and then the window is just for convincing the other club, when the news filters through.
