Transfer Rumour Virgil van Dijk

I believe Koeman can get another defender in and groom him to be the best. What happened to Kone, half the price but could improve under Koeman.

The Van Dijk you see now is the one who played at Celtic.

Koeman cant get his own defenders here to be adequate, never mind be the best.
 
In fairness mate, VVD improved massively under his year at Southampton under Koeman.

I saw no massive improvement. TBH, I saw his first season there at S'ton with Koeman as a very up and down one where he clearly couldn't get to grips positionally. He has been superb this season however. That isn't down to the change in manager from Koeman to Puel though, it's just that he's acclimatised his game. He now plays and commands the pitch exactly the way he did up in Scotland with Celtic. This is his game - an all action territorially roving CB.
 
WOW!

If it turns out to be true then you get the ITK status on here imo

Based on nothing but an unsubstantiated rumour that isn't going to come true, again.

What are you talking about?

Talking about where these 'rumours' come from and you saying there not happening. I pointed out about people saying the same thing about Usmanov's involvement in Everton which was rubbished by people like yourself.

Now am not saying these deals are likely to come off but you seem certain to think they aren't. The fella these rumours have stemmed from are more likely believable that you mate. No offence.
 
It's not hindsight if we were showing clear interest in him at the time, which we were.
I think you misunderstand me, I wasn't having a go! Just observing that if we'd have got £40 for stones and then bought VVD for a fraction of that (and his value had gone up like it has at Shampton) we'd have looked like absolute geniuses. Que sera eh?

I am absolutely certain that a 40 million pound 'bid' from Everton, will not see VVD move to Everton this January. That's if we even make a 'bid'. Vault me.

None of these rumours have proven to come true yet. All we have done is spend club revenue thus far.

You obviously haven't been following what he's said previous times then mate. So lets leave it at that.

I think we hung on for Van Dijk but had Funes Mori in our sights too. Possibly the early and single minded interest of Southampton made the difference...that and the fact he'd have been guaranteed a starting spot there but not here.

Oh yes, the confirmed stewardship of Usmanov, I think I did miss that one to be honest mate. I think I may have missed the confirmation that we have purchased land at BMD as well, or is everyone still waiting on that one? Let me know when we start spending beyond our revenue and when one of these rumours of signing a superstar player actually comes off.
