Transfer Rumour Virgil van Dijk

[bluestevon]

I know yeah, just think this one is proof of that as much as any.

How much you reckon he's worth?

Proof was Ibe, a failed academy player going for 15m mate.

Well, Liverpool did pay £3 million for him.

Who'd have thought that hitting the bar once in a derby would multiply your value by 5 times eh...

If this lad's worth 50 mil then transfers have multiplied tenfold in the last decade

A good premier league centre half, that's all. Those saying "this is a signing to make people sit up and take notice" etc have been sniffing MD off Jim White's arse

I would say he is the BEST in the league. Strong, quick, great in the air, good with the ball at his (both) feet, can comfortably bring the ball out of defense, excellent recovery and can pop up with a goal or two. Personally I don't think he has a weak attribute but that's just my opinion.

Considering we got just short of 50M for Stones, IF we did get him then your basically swapping Stones for VVD, (which in theory doesn't effect our original transfer budget), and I know which player I would rather have.

5 times? you kop... Only joking

Doubt Southampton will sell in January with Fonte putting in transfer request aswell

Depends tbh mate, they keep selling there best players seemingly whenever anyone really goes strongly in for them - if there owner would have actually backed them financially then with here recruitment over the years they could have actually built a team the way Spurs did.

Yeah suppose money talks so if big bid came in they'd probably except it.

We'll have to wait and see anyway

Actually mate the first bit isnt true.
Southampton DONT sell in january!
Last year mane n wanayama practicly said they didnt want to play anymore and put transfer requests in.
Spurs even offered 20 million for wanayama (8 million more than what they got in the summer).
They dug there feet in as they prefered to keep the players for that campaign.
Saints wont sell van dijk this january

 

[boris]

Southampton supposedly getting a direct replacement for him in Sakho may help.

 

[tommye]

Id take Ginenez over VVD all day long.

Is it only @tommye who mentioned it or anywhere else?

We will see mate, if a bid gets to a certain amount for any of their players - i still belive they will sell.

They used to have the policy of turing down itnerest for a complete season after the initial approaches as well and get the player to stay for one more season with the assurance they can go the following season for the right amount - seen with Schneiderlin and a few others, but thats been done away with as well lately - Mane being the best example

They get a bid of 50m or thereabouts for him then he will be out the door
