Transfer Rumour Virgil van Dijk

[Zatara]

If were actually bidding then he would join us because Koeman will have already spoken with him.

Nailed it

Apart from a discussion of past managers in a historical sense, I honestly would never talk about Martinez if others didnt. The default response by some to any statement I make about any subject is to drag Martinez into it...whatever the thread or subject matter is. Surely that is seen?

I respect your views on Martinez Dave and don't want to drag it back to him.

But, you have previously said that Koeman should be given time. I think you said until next Christmas to judge him.

But since he has arrived you haven't had a positive word to say about him. It's fair enough to say you will give him time but I actually think Evertonians should get behind the bloke until such time as he deserves to be judged (in your view Christmas).

By constantly moaning about everything, not even saying anything positive when we win, being negative about signings like Schneiderlin, you are definitely not "getting behind him". You arn't even trying.

So when you pop up on threads, usually being negative, people struggle to reconcile that with the unwavering support you gave Martinez last year and think you are being a hypocrite.

will do Koeman no harm at all if this comes off

Or he knows Everton's interest will kick start bids from other clubs.

Pretty sure that's not allowed under the fa rules

Not if he respects Koeman.

lol good one

Player agents and media play the biggest part no doubt we will see some stories soon

Not gonna happen. Even if we bid 50m and Southampton accepted, I suspect he he'd have his heart set on a bigger club.

The Koeman factor will count for zilch.

C'mon lads do you honestly think the Saints will sell in the January transfer window

Would we sell someone like Lukaku or Barkley in this window ?

This is VVD thread.

Have been a big fan of his since celtic days. Has everything to be a top center back for next number of years and would make a big difference to team. Unless he wouls be fully aware and have inside info of what otber potential signings we would make i would see him at a champs league club in the summer. 40 million is crazy money but this lad is worth it.

i think there's a degree of blinkmanship here. I think all the top clubs are waiting to see who bids first, for how much and see Saint's reaction.

I don't see this happening. In many ways similar to the Stones scenario where the club wants to keep the player for as long as possible and know that the player will keep his valuation if they need to sell at a later stage.

I think there is also a fair chance that for lots of reasons Southampton would prefer not to sell a player of that stature to Everton.

I think Michael Keane may be a more realistic target.
