Those players all shout 'mid-lower table, but safe and dull' to me.

Exactly, 100% this. The whole Van Dijk situation reminds me of dealing with my 3 year son. I wonder if Van Dijk also wants Paw Patrol on the TV in the dressing room "but they have Paw Patrol on at Liverpool", "I don't care what they do at Liverpool, you are here and this is what we do"

The transfer list! I'd forgotten about that ... wonder if it still a thing or not? I guess agents have stepped in more now - as a player you're probably told if you're in the plans for the season or not and if not, your agent touts you around?

I think Comolli works for French TV, not sure if that is why he was there or if he's also an agent?

It made me chuckle!

It's a shame as I like him as a player, but perhaps he was never going to be a "Premier League style player".

That seems like a relative bargain when you think what else is going on - well done Les! Looks like a good player.

What don't these helmets get? He is free to go at the right price, it's as simple as that. Oh and not to Liverpool

I'm enjoying abusing footballers tonight for being greedy. Let's go back to loving them tomorrow when they sign for Saints. I love football fan double standard

I'll give you that one, at least you're pronouncing his surname properly

We've got Van Dijk What a stupid pr*ck I just don't think you understand He's Wasserman's man And had his head turned like Koeman We've got a simpleton pr*ck

It was never 'loud' in the first place. Loads of gossip, medical today, Virgil Van Bellend letter today to annoy the club, it'll be tomorrow or later in the week when we hear about this guy signing.

Who!?

What an absolute c**t. 6 year contract, presumably with a hefty pay rise and then a "oh I need to play at the highest level" etc etc. C**t. I hate footballers. Hope no one wants him.

I like the fact he's taking his chance to secure a longer contract and given decent game time, hopefully show he won't keep getting injured! Certain other players could learn a lot from him so far ...

He had two ACL injuries and an op and is now on a 6 month contract I believe ... he's playing for his future!

Agree ... this is bizarre.

Looks fine to me? No dead, just not in favour?? It is weird though, I'll give you that.

This. I did actually try to watch some, my god it's poor quality - why the BBC feel the need to ram it down our throats I don't know, it's very poor.

They'll be too busy having a minutes silence for Katarina Johnson-Thompson finishing 5th ...

Jesus.

Go away.

I can't even imagine him being a good coach tbh. I love the guy, but our time with him has gone ... move on.

I like the guy - will be happy for him to have another season here, especially if he has one like he did under Koeman in his second season.
