All of our CBs stats are distributed a lot more because we play with a back 3, not a back 4 (2 CBs). Plus the less shots the opponent has, the less blocks there are to make, etc...

Mufassir08 2,400 Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I really hope its just a loan for Christensen or else we'll end up buying him back for 45m in a couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Kaplan- 410 Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I'm not sure what to make of it. A bit shocked. I thought Christensen might actually have a chance. van Dijk is just the flavor of the month, in my opinion. Much like Mahrez was last season.

Can't rule out the possibility that you, me, and everybody else who sees it your way, are simply wrong but people seem to have lost their heads over VVD. A £55m - £60m Champions League defender? I just don't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akgw13 867 Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 has there been any confirmation on if Christensen will be loaned or sold? I hope its a loan, i would be shocked to see him sold. For god sakes if we sell can we PLEASE insert a proper buy back clause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever there have been comments about Andreas which qualify as more than mere speculation, they have always claimed that he likes BMG, would be happy to stay there, is not prepared to return to Chelsea for anything other than a starting role and is expecting to take part in our pre season. I'd be surprised if he has any interest at all in Southampton, never mind a loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's too big 625 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Never got the big fuss with VVD. It's almost as if he's the new Maldini or something. He is a good Premier League defender, but one of the best in Europe I am dubious about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a good Premier League defender, but one of the best in Europe I am dubious about. Well when fit he is one of three top CBs in PL, other two being Azpi and Alderweireld. You can throw Kos and Verthongen in there when they have good day. Verthongen is better than Aldo this year, but generaly speaking he is not. Kos makes some stupid mistakes too often to get in top 3. That said, he plays for Soton and will definately need to join bigger club to prove himself at next level and get recognition as one of best in europe. But he certainly has that ability to be one. I agree 50m is too much, that Christensen deal is even worse. But 40m alone, I think he is worth the risk. Powerful CB who is also good on the ball, consistent past two seasons and leader. Perfect age too. I do fear his recent injury might halt his progress, but before that I would take him in a heart beat. Luiz, Azpi, Cahill, Dijk, Christensen and either Ake/Zouma would be great to go next season. I hate how players like Belotti or Dijk are so expensive these days when they are not proven in europe, but neither was Eden and I see similar potential in those players, just different positions.
