BoyBlue96 990 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Reading so many reports that he only has a release clause of 25(!!!) million pounds. Holy hell, Chelsea sign this guy up! Would improve our defense instantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,889 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Wouldn't be against a move for him. He really has come on a hell of a lot since I seen him play for Neil Lennon's Celtic side. Wouldn't go overboard and say he's best CB in the PL, would still rate Alderweireld and Koscielny ahead of him but he's been the most improved CB in the last 2 years in the PL no doubt. Has a good presence, doesn't dive in, brilliant in the air, calm and composed on the ball... would really suit our team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alderweireld won't leave Spurs and Poch, so I think Van Dijk, as proven PL defender, would be the best to go after in the january transferwindow. Koscielny is a handballing fraud.

Rekin 835 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 The Times are reporting that Chelsea, together with several other English clubs, are after him. If the price is reasonable, it should be a no-brainer. I have previously mentioned that we shouldnt fix what isnt broken but Cahill is not first team material, we should look to substitute him asap. a back 3 of VVD - Luiz - Azpilicueta would be very strong.

kellzfresh 7,229 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Now this is the type of starting 11 quality player that we should be signing. Easily replaces Cahill. Getting him for 25mil in this market is a huge steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the wes 7,212 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Oriol Romeu claims Van Dijk is the best centre-half in the Premier League and urged him to stay. “For me he is the best centre-back we have in this league,” he said. “I have been playing with him and training every day and he is just amazing - strong in the air, good in the one v ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have this eerie feeling, we'll stick with Cahill and watch him go to Manchester. Van Dijk, Luiz, Azpi, Christensen, and Zouma? Jah Bless.

!Hazard! 3,394 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I'm actually fairly confident that we can get Van Dijk if the club shows any interest in him. Chelsea would be the perfect place for this type of player and I'm sure he would be a massive success as a centreback in our 3-4-3 formation. And why wouldn't he want to join a club that is going to win the title in May? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 2,745 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 It'd be really nice to have this guy on the team in the upcoming transfer window. I think a lot of us would sleep easier knowing our defence doesn't really need to be fixed anymore. Having him in the starting 3, and then having Zouma and even Cahill on the bench, would make our defence one of the best. Alonso would be the weak link, but he has his positives, and could easily be replaced by Baba or Kennedy in the near future. Get it done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
