Subscriber Dan+ Posted December 28, 2017 Subscriber Posted December 28, 2017 He's an upgrade on what they have but he's never ever worth that. It's hardly like he's incapable of making silly errors himself. He was appalling a few weeks ago when they played us. Southampton must be pissing themselves laughing here. I bet they didn't think they'd be getting close to that but alas Liverpool cave in. The Premier League really is in a world of its own. I haven't got a clue what he's ever done to justify going for that much. Suppose it gives us a good reason to ask for mad money for Maguire in the summer when the inevitable links come in.
Happy Blue Posted December 28, 2017 Posted December 28, 2017 WTF are Liverpool playing at?? whoever made this deal should be fired!!

On recent form thats still well above his value and what i suspect any other clubs would have been prepared to pay. Then Saints would say fuck off we'll sell him to someone else...he's tied to a long term contract, you have no leverage

No other club would pay more than 40m on recent form. We seem to be trying to make good our summer fuckup by paying over the odds here.

The Artful Dodger Posted December 28, 2017 Posted December 28, 2017 Immense pressure but if he’s good enough he’ll be able to cope with that. It doesn’t solve the problems, a good goalkeeper is essential to a good defence so I wouldn’t expect huge improvements defensively until they sort that.

I can't see Van Dijk making too much of an impact until they upgrade on Mignolet. A defence having confidence in their goalkeeper is vital for the unit to be successful.

You can hardly complain about Saints delaying the transfer when it was Liverpool who tapped him up and then had to drop their pursuit of him as a result. I'm sure though that what Liverpool did was no different to what goes on in a large number of transfer deals just they got called out for it because Saints are tired of being everyone else's bitch when it comes to top players.
Inverted Posted December 28, 2017 Posted December 28, 2017 11 hours ago, Kitchen Sales said: Great news for Celtic. They'll put their prices up citing van dijk's success. Someone will fall for it and end up with a dud. There has been a historical discount on players in Scotland because Southampton were the only side that could be arsed to actually scout players up here, meaning that they didn’t have any competition. All the other clubs were/are run by your typical mongs who refused to believe that good players could actually exist up here - look at Warnock’s quote on Palace turning down Van Dijk for £6 mil because he was too slow. Hopefully now that more people are realising there are good players up here, Celtic will have the balls to ask for actual market rates.
Administrator Stan Posted December 28, 2017 Administrator Posted December 28, 2017 Disgusting amount. Football broken even more.
Honey Honey Posted December 28, 2017 Posted December 28, 2017 Saw his interview earlier where he said Sol Bamba is better at defending than Van Dijk
Bluebird Hewitt Posted December 29, 2017 Posted December 29, 2017 I'll have no bad words about Sol Bamba mentioned on here, thank you very much. I've informed @Cannabis of this and he will hand out warnings to those who take the piss.

If we didn't have all that Pulis drama and the Mackay fiasco just after we would have landed Van Dijk and Cork.
Pep Talk Posted December 29, 2017 Posted December 29, 2017 Won't lie I wish we could of got him but Liverpool need him more. Lets see if he can step it up on the biggest stage.

Happy Blue Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 Why didn't Liverpool just trigger Laporte's 57million release clause instead of paying 75million for VD???
Cicero Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 Pretty sure, other than money, Guardiola is the main influence as to why Laporte decided to move

Dave Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 Quote Virgil van Dijk has the potential to be a future Liverpool captain, according to Phil Thompson and Matt Le Tissier. The 26-year-old, who became the world's most expensive defender after joining Liverpool for £75m in January, joined a list of players including Adam Lallana, Sadio Mane and Dejan Lovren who have swapped St Mary's for Anfield in recent seasons. Le Tissier and Thompson believe the deal suited all parties as Van Dijk prepares to return to Southampton with Liverpool on Sunday, live on Sky Sports. I guess, due to the lack of modern day leaders, all it takes is to publicly accuse a fellow professional of diving to be considered a future captain in modern football.

It wasn’t an accusation, he was stating a fact. Publicly calling him out if you will.
