Virgil Van Dijk

But the German (Klopp) is well equipped with defenders, with Dejan Lovren, Joel Matip, Ragnar Klavan and Joe Gomez all fit for the season.

He said: “We have four ­centre-backs. I don’t think we need more.

“Just at the moment I’m fine. The transfer market is open until the 31st of August.

“We cannot force things and we would never get a ­centre-back just because someone is available."

 

hopefully we can get him, he is bordering on WC imo

Impossible to see Virgil van Dijk playing for Southampton again. But nor do they want to sell him to #LFC

"I would like Southampton to consider the interest in me from top clubs should it still exist."

"I want to play European football again and challenge for major honours. I am incredibly ambitious."

" I want to achieve as much as I can to fulfil my potential in what is a very short career as a professional footballer."

-Virgil van Dijk

The moment he handed his transfer request the fee went from £60m to £40m. We're in good positie for the negotiations and it seems like other top teams are not thinking about signing him.

Sky sources understand Southampton’sposition remains unchanged despite Virgil van Dijk’s transfer request.

The Saints do not want to sell the Netherlands international.

I don't think we need a CB.

Southampton ambivalent about Van Dijk statement & position unchanged: he's not for sale. VVD been in training ground every day & no issues

Our CB's were very good yesterday, tbf. Both Luiz and Cahill performed well. It's what's ahead of them and their flanks that were subpar.

Do we need VVD? No. But he'd certainly improve our team.

Our defending was alright. Geigen the lack of protection from Alonso and Fabregas we limited them to a handful of chances.also i one defender more does not mean our defending will improve. Defending is all about team movement and mechanisms.

I think a player like van Dick would be a good acquisition, but more players are needed in other areas.

Spend the cash elsewhere, and if this is the amount (50M) then go and break the bank and fetch Dembele here from Dortmund, kids absolute different gravy.

I both agree and disagree. The main priority should be two wings back (both for Competition and Depth) but if we can Sign Van Dijk its basically like signing a RWB since Azpi will be moved there.
So it would be RWB: Azpi, Moses. CB: Luiz, Cahill, Van Dijk, Rudiger, Christensen, (Azpi). LWB: Alonso, new signing.
I would be pretty happy with that setup tbh.

Think it's been reported that Dortmund wouldn't even accept the 100m Barca are offering. No chance we'd get him.

We'll end up sending him on loan to Vitesse!
