Virgil van Dijk

[Cellarite]

If he comes, does he make the staring 11? Who drops? Defense isn't something that is rotated often. Perhaps this is why he or others may be less enthusiastic on joining us? I don't see either of Stones nor Otamendi being dropped.

You’re doing the “dropped” thing that so many did in the summer when we were in for Sanchez.

31, good grief. I didn’t think he was that old now.

Not that 31 is old...

Is this Jerome Boateng? He's 29

If City are in for him I would be fairly surprised if he went to Liverpool instead. Yes he would be higher up the pecking order given their poor defence. However I would have thought that at this moment in time City are about level with Real and Barca in terms of being most attractive to sign for. If you are a decent player and Pep comes calling you would have to think he rates you and would be foolish to turn down the opportunity to work with this bloke and play for the current team.

You would surely look at what Pep is doing. Turning decent players into great ones. and great ones into world class ones. If you want to find out how good you can be and Pep gives you the opportunity then only a fool would turn it down.

I doubt it would make a huge dent but it would be great if Mangala could be taken in part ex.

Can only assume you’ve not watched either a lot of him or a lot of football.

I have pal don't see £60 million player in him

Paddy Power VVD to City is locked even though Liverpool are 4/7 on.

Does that mean a big bet just went on him to City?

Well prices are hard to judge right now but the fact you don’t even see a £30m player is strange. On form he’s in the top two or three centre backs in the league.

I’ve always hated him at Saints as he’s normally excellent against us.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

I rate and would also love him at City.

I just have a nagging feeling that, either we're not actually interested in him, and or he's hell-bent on going to Liverpool.
