Liverpool have apparently agreed 75m (SEVENTY-FIVE!) deal for Van Dijk.

This is absolute lunacy. A CB for 15m more than we payed for our star striker! Utter, utter madness.

The days of Liverpool fans being able to have their victim complex about the other big clubs spending silly money are now long gone between this deal and Keita.

January prices are going to be fun eh? It's probably best not to pay attention to the fees clubs (us included) will be paying. It makes no sense anymore, just accept it.

Wow insanity

Insane price...Crazy Market....

[Laylabelle 9,351]

And in Jan prices do go stupid so not surprised.. Maybe not to this extent.. 

[Jase 43,479]

Confirmed already.

Dude get use to it.. its economics. 

I remember when a pack of cigarettes use to cost £1.20

Rudiger is looking like a steal. Christensen was free. Ampadu coming through who is another freebie. At least we are getting the defensive options right.

Only thing that's a bit annoying is that even a club like Liverpool who have been notoriously tight with fees are now willing to spend more than we are on their top targets. I cannot picture us spending £75m on a single player, even a world class attacking one. ☹️

Be carefull.... we will probably sell Christensen and Ampadu to a German team, only for City and United to buy them back in a few years.

Also worth remembering that Azpi only cost 7 million. To think that we almost got Van der Wiel over him.

To be fair, we've spent 50m+ on two players in 6 years. This is the first time Liverpool went over 50m for a player?

Nahhhhh we'd be linked with them right till near the end where the club goes LOL and signs some randomer instead and they go elsewhere. Even though that randomer turns out to be poor and shouldve saved money

Honestly not sure what to make of him and now it’s confirmed that he’s going to Liverpool for 75m... he was vastly overrated before but now, with that fee... jesus, it’s a lot of pressure because if Liverpool’s backline doesn’t instantly improve then he will be given as much criticism as the rest of their CBs. Saying that I liked the look of Lovren in France and for Southampton but look how hes turned out for Liverpool. I think this could be a similar if he has a bad start. For 75m I wouldn’t have gone near him though, far too much but they are desperate so Southampton were always going to get a record fee.

Keita will cost them mega money as well, right? Don't know the exact fee.

Someone has to question Klopp TBH. Is Van Dijk really that good? Is there no one else who's got similar abilities and perhaps even better than Van Dijk that will cost far less than 75 million?
