Virgil van Dijk

He's worth what we're willing to pay. If Pep wants him for that money, he must see him as being worth what we're willing to part with wouldn't you agree?

No, sorry, that just doesn't make sense.

in a later post where I said if we pay that then we pay it.

What part?

I'm trying to see which bit doesn't make sense there. You might not agree with the valuation (£60m?), but if Guardiola wants him, and we pay it, then from my reading of it, that's what the post is saying.

If Guardiola rates him and VvD I will back him but I am being honest here and just don't rate the player too highly for that price.

Look how Otamendi had developed under Pep. Doesn't dive in as often anymore and is superb now at distribution from the back.

VDV will become one of the best in the world under Pep.

I’m assuming the what’s he’s worth bit. We might pay 60m and land him - so £60m facilitates his transfer from Soton but it doesn’t mean he’s worth £60m - only time will tell on that score.

Whichever part Mr Genie is reading.

Somebody's agreed to pay what Southampton wanted...... we'll found out who next week I guess.
What is more concerning/interesting is if he's been average at best this season due to injury he had or just not being bothered?

That’s a good point re Otamendi - always thought he needed to stay on his feet and be more patient but can’t believe how Pep has transformed his distribution. In contrast whilst Otamendi has learned to be more measured and patient Stones has been encouraged to be significantly more assertive and aggressive. Excellent coaching by Pep. On VVD it’s his call as a few have said _ if he’s ambitious and wants to be a winner he will come to us. If he wants to be a fancy dan he’ll go to the dippers.
