Virgil Van Dijk

[Fernando 6,484]

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. 

 

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Lol, what a crazy sum of money. If he is English, I would understand it, but this is just out of logic.

[zekinjo 449]

This isn't 2000s that you can buy for 20-30m. Some players you just have to pay big. That's how it works these days. Go big or stay home.

[Belgiannutt 3,201]

£60 million ?  

He's a good center back but that's it. Nothing special about him to be worth such a ridiculous fee.

Who says we're interested? These sources are pure nonsense too, so I'm not believing anything any more until it's 100% guaranteed and a legit source reports these things. The Mirror, Sun, Metro, FootballItalia, Mail, Guardian, Telegraph, they're all unreliable as far as i'm concerned.

Reports that City have won the race for him.

Am the same until they sign on that dotted line I don't believe any off the Crap these newspapers post. One min morata has agreed personal terms then 2 hours later same paper says he's happy and is staying

And I thought two weeks ago that this deal is wrapped up. There's no single one deal in the world that Chelsea could close early instead of dragging it close to deadline.

City are making quick business because they face a transfer-ban from the FIFA...

[Clockwork 1,794]

Why arent we pursuing Toby Alderweireld, if the rumors of him having a 25 release clause is true.

Because the rumour is not true? If it was, you would have expected many sides to jumps on him from the start.

Where did you hear that from?

A journalist reported it on Twitter. Because they perpetrated the rules about signing youth players or something. 

 

Also,

Fucking hell. 

[Pizy 18,413]

Arguably the best CB in the league when fit. Has all the tools to become a world class player. Their captain and talisman Kompany was finally fit and in great form at the end of this season so I don't know where the possible signing of VVD leaves him. Or Otamendi who is pretty good. They won't be very happy being bit part players.

It's mind boggling to think of the amount of money City have spent just on CB's in recent years. If they sign Van Dijk, Walker, and Mendy they'll have a fucking scary team.

They are banned from signing U18 players. Not first team players.

Okay. I swear I read that they could get the same penalty Atletico Madrid got. (Hopefully that happens)

I like him as a player, but the costs being reported are out of control. Hopefully this leads to us looking at Christensen and giving him a real chance.
