Fernando 6,135 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Southampton could turn down £60m bid for Virgil van Dijk - club chair http://www.espnfc.us/southampton/story/3127870/southampton-could-turn-down-60m-bid-for-virgil-van-dijk-club-chair Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Special Juan 26,196 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Totally unrealistic price, and if that figure is right we won't pay it. We could get Ben Gibson for half of that and he's every bit as good, and I say that with confidence after watching both all season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Think VVD has absolutely everything in his locker to be a dominant, top class CB at any big club. £60m is of course absolutely ridiculous and we'd likely never pay that, but he's going to be very expensive. Stones for £50m has probably changed the market for a CB forever. And I'd have Van Dijk ahead of Stones 10 times out of 10. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

His distribution with both feet has been first class, his reading of the game is absolute quality, his timing of tackles is superb and he will be a main stay of the England back line for years to come, I promise. We all questioned the Alonso signing last season but maybe in this instance I'm seeing something in Gibson we all missed in Alonso. I'm not certain we will go for Gibson but we could do a hell of a lot worse I'm telling you, not only that but his price will probably a realistic figure and not something stupid like for what is being spoken about for VvD.

Eidur the Spider 4,515 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 #Chelsea’s primary target is Virgil van Dijk though Southampton maintain they want more than £50million for the Dutch centre-back. [Mail] As talks continue with Southampton, who are expected to sack manager Claude Puel soon, #Chelsea are weighing up all options. [Mail] #Chelsea want at least one new CB while Conte will also assess Christensen to see if he can go straight into his first team squad. [Mail] Quote Link to post Share on other sites

King11Didier 916 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Stones 2, Koulibaly 3... I don't believe his worth is that much, but if we are willing to pay the sum for him and Conte really wants him in the team, better get him asap, I'm fed up with transfer sagas about new CB.

Everton are a pretty big club with new, rich ownership so they could play hardball over players and hold out for huge money. Not sure Southampton can keep a player if a huge offer comes in and the player wants to leave. I've seen on Twitter today that Klopp really likes him and that he "may be interested" in working with Klopp. Would be pretty bad if we miss out on our supposed #1 choice CB target to fucking Liverpool. Can't imagine he'd choose them over us if we both actually bid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Eidur the Spider 4,515 Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Manchester City beat Liverpool and #Chelsea to £60million signing of Southampton defender Virgil van Dijk. [Mirror] Despite overtures from Liverpool & #Chelsea, City have blown their rivals out of the water by making a mammoth offer to Van Dijk. [Mirror] Van Dijk is set to trouser over £200,000-a-week in a monster five-year deal that will make him the world's most expensive defender. [Mirror] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pizy 15,869 Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Insane. Don't think we'll ever be able (or willing, maybe) to compete finincially with the Manchester clubs going forward. Unlike us, they're willing to just pay whatever it takes. We have to be efficient and calculated if we want to remain on top next season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beigl 1,372 Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 For £60 millions they can have him. I have no problems if we miss out on him, this price tag is just madness. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fernando 6,135 Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Men I'm getting annoyed as we are sitting in our hands as usual. Just like last summer low balling everything and end up panicking buy in the end. This is not looking good to me. Transfer should have been already been identified long ago and worked on.
