Virgil van Dijk

[aguero93:20]

Hopefully losing weight over Old Trafford, en route. Yes i do know it's not a crow ;-)

Every Portuguese head is a target lad, every Portuguese head is a target, now fly.

Is he reliable?

..as real as Shane MacGowan's teeth, and a dirty rag as well.

Players need a platform to perform on, to become better, the way we are these days, we expect ready made stars, not stars in progress, a couple of bad games and they're thrown to the dogs, we can't sign anyone n everyone at the end of the day, likes of Van Dijk need to get 18+months under their belt at a club like Southampton to grow and get experience in the Premier League, to prove their worth, if we sign him n he does shit everyone boots off about us buying players from Scotlamd.

Hear, hear. There were people on this very forum last season saying Sterling was useless. He's been just about our best player (with KDB) this season. They're not fucking robots!

At this stage I trust everything Dan Timperlye says (he's been reliable in the past) and he reckons we're in for him. I doubt we'll get him in Jan though.

He's a good player that would improve us, annoyingly have said this years yet now he has a new fat contract we suddenly seem genuinely interested - will cost silly money, again.

Seen Laporte saying moving to City would've been a good move & he'll consider any offers - haven't watched any of Bilbao this season but they concede a lot of goals, I'd be happier with VvD.

Saying all that I still feel FB is our weakest area, if we'll get anyone in January my money goes on fullback rather than CB, can't see us spending £50m on a player this window which is what it'd cost for a van Dijk/Laporte.

FB will be weaker in June when we lose our current FBs but right now we have exactly 2 CBs and that is simply not enough. CB and CM are where we currently are weakest.

50 is what it will take to get Laporte in January or July. If we are going to trigger release clauses, the sooner the better.

 

[lee_wsm]

50 million wont get laporte im sure i read his release clause im higher than that

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Never been convinced with Laporte.

Buy the guy we need a big ugly fecker at the back it's what we're missing.
