Virgil van Dijk

[GaudinoMotors]

He is good but not worth 60m imo. I'd pay 40m for him max

He is in the long run - would be a sensational signing for us.

Should have bought this guy from Celtic when the price was realistic, I said at the time when Southampton bought him ....why the hell weren't we in for him. Our transfer policy needs to change instead of risking £30+ or £20+ million on players like Mangala and Bony we need to look at more realistic/cheaper options. VVD clearly had all the tools for the PL and for the money Southampton paid was well worth the punt!! We should probably look at some of the Italian and Portugese clubs and how they scout players.

He looks great at Southampton but nope he will not be great for us I am not joking on this.

I'd much rather us sign him than Laporte, he's at least proven in the Premier League.

So had Bony

Not having a pop to name Bony in your argument is wrong. Why was he a risk?

In fairness I will hold my hands up and say I only watched 4 games whilst they were there but in my opinion, whilst they both looked good, denayer looked significantly better. Better judgement, better going forward and somehow less "panicky"

Living in Scotland with a Celtic supporting son, I saw a lot of them both the season they played together. Denayer was the better player in that season albeit both of them were good.

I remember when he first get mentioned here in Bluemoon, many underestimated him because was playing in a weak league as they say !

He was the only person to play very well in that game yesterday. Definitely the best CB in the league outside of the established stars (Otamendi, Kompany, Alderweireld, Koscielny and Luiz).

At Celtic maybe Denayer was better than Van Dijk, I wouldn't know. But now they're both in the toughest league in the world, is there really any argument?

Exactly. Van Dijk should be our number one target for CB this summer. He's brilliant.

I watched the Burnley game yesterday (on kodi)and he was the best defender by a mile read the game vary athletic and quick and big think we should take a punt on him !!but it would help if pep picked the same team or at least the back 4 every week.
