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]

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. 

[Beigl 1,387]

For £60 millions they can have him. I have no problems if we miss out on him, this price tag is just madness.

[Fernando 6,585]

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.

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

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.

£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...

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.
