Virgil van Dijk

[greasedupdeafguy]

League debut probably against city lol

 

[SWP's back]

ManUre were 'Guaranteed' the PL in 2011/12 & Liverpool in 2012/13. When it's mathematically impossible for anyone to catch us, then you can offer guarantees, but until then I'd rather we take this season one game at a time.

In the meantime, every team in the PL can still offer the PL title, no matter how unlikely. The more these threads progress, the more dismayed I am that many of us are forgetting who & what we were not so long ago.

I truly despair, because you're making us sound more & more like the Rags with every passing match. Have you not heard the messages from Pep?

Christ. Are you pissed?

Ah well, he only would have been back up and for domestic cups here anyway.

Fair play to the scousers if they get the VVD of last season he will prove an excellent signing.

Must be hard for their fans as they are so morally against spending large amounts of money on players.

 

[MCFC1993]

Even in a world where money is no object for us, £75m for Van Dijk is fucking madness. He's a good player but I reckon you could get better for cheaper. That must be from the Coutinho money.

I think we could buy better for cheaper, Laporte comes to mind.

 

[Andrew___K]

Blessing in disguise? Better wait till summer and go after Skriniar or Koulibaly? Or does it mean Inigo Martinez' signing is inevitable?

 

[bobmcfc]

If we paid it nobody would be saying it’s crazy. Fair play to them they have wanted him a while

 

[cookster]

Still hope we land VVD but I'll sleep easy in the knowledge that we pushed the price up if he ends up at the dippers.

Either player would likely cost north of £60m at this rate. If this report is true I would imagine Txiki's dialing up Sociedad as we speak.

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

Would've been a great squad addition but I'm not convinced he's better than Stones or Otamendi. I also think Adarabioyo has shown enough to warrant more game time as a backup when either Kompany or Manga are unavailable.

 

[rowarta]

likely confirm L'pool as top 3 team and push Rags to 4th.

City fans yeah, but if we paid that everyone else would be saying how we are ruining the market and that Pep can only buy success.

 

[Tevez City]

One of the best CBs in the world, but we can survive with Otamendi, Stones, Mangala, Kompany & Tosin.

 

[Cityfan]

60m will get you 2 Jonny Evans’s

There's only one Jonny Evans. No matter how hard we try or how much money we have, there will still only be One Jonny Evans.

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

They could have got Lukaku for that. Jose's going to be pissed that someone's paying that for a defender.

And the joke is that, in 12 months time he's going to be just as shit as Lovren, Klavan & Matic.

 

[jay laruja]

If VVD signs with the dippers
+ We save 75 million and invest it in signing Fernandinho's successor which for me is more urgent than a CB
+ We could end up someone like Skrinar or Hernandez whom I think are more the kind of CB Pep likes and younger too
+/- Dippers strengthen their shitty defense which could knock points off of us but probably off the rags and others too.
- We might sign John Fucking Evans or Martinez
- We could be stuck with oft-injured Kompany, unpredictable Mangala and unready Adarabioyo as back-up CB

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

Liverpool have turned a bang average CB into the messiah. If he doesn't bed in immediately, it'll be Klopp's job.

No pressure though.

75 m !! they are getting bent over there

You implying the dippers will overhype the signing, surely not ;)
