One thing I would say, regardless of whether we fans think this is a good deal, is it's increasingly looking like whoever we want, we get. Pep factor.

Outstanding player, but £50m-£60m on a defender that is probably not going to be first or second choice seems a bit extreme.
Back 3 maybe so it gives us that option I don’t know.
Not that I prefer him over other CBs linked to us but that's crazy talk. He's definitely gonna be at least the 2nd option.

Got me!
I still don't know about this. Even with rotation you usually stick to two CB's for the majority of the season unless they get injured. Neither Stones or Otamendi deserve to be dropped and I can't see him being happy sitting on the bench waiting for them to get injured. We've already got Gundy and Bernardo struggling to get game time do we really wanna spend £60 million on another one?

If we are really in for him than it means Pep has had it with Kompany and Van Dijk will be the third option. Come on. You didn't really think we were going to go into the stretch run of the CL and take a chance on Vinny's quad?
Kompany might be shifted to more of a management role after the world cup and our treble. Mangala is certain to leave. That would leave us with Nico, who'll be good for another two three years, Stones for another decade still and Van Dijk if he comes, for some 4-5 years. Also, playing 3 atb at times would mean more rotation and more game time for Tosin!
We're going to be scary aren't we. If Conte is publically pleading for Van Dijk to not be sold to us, there might be a lot into it

Haven’t seen enough of him to say I think our Mgmt team is wrong for craving him...like I have any say...but £60M for him just seems like being bent over because he has a few Prem seasons under his belt. Not convinced, unfortunately.
