A footballers past always skews his current value. Even if he has a mediocre season next season, he'll still be worth upwards of £30million.

Yeah, I find it hard to believe that he was ringing and messaging her non-stop the day after a p*ss up, 1. He would have been hanging out his arse and 2. He would have realised what a munter she was and what a lucky escape he'd had.

Fair play to Bianca Austin, that facebook review of "rissy" (wtf kind of name is that) was brilliant.

That is mental. Him and Tadic moved to this country in the same summer - as pointed out above, in that time Tadic has the fourth highest amount of assists. What has Markovic done since then?

Get tae f*ck, there is absolutely no way.

Schneiderlin didn't leave under a cloud and nothing about Lovren came from Saints. Lallana acted like a c*nt, Fonte got greedy and Koeman was just a case of us not wanting to go into the last year of his contract without him committing for longer.

Blimey this has exploded, anyone able to give a summary for someone who has missed all the developments today?

You have to be all kinds of stupid to switch from UKIP to Labour, so much for wanting UK Independence [emoji23]

Cheers. I hope for once everything goes our way. Imagine a summer where we keep Van Dijk and Liverpool get a transfer ban thanks to us. I don't think i'd ever stop laughing.

Where is that from mate?

Maybe we just won't sell him then?

I'd take £25million or more and reinvest it elsewhere, I think McQueen is good enough and Targett is able backup. (Not as good as Bertrand, but not such a downgrade that we'd miss him - and if that money helps us keep Van Dijk then crack on).

The article is full of it. Click on the sources for those stories.

The only player we've complained about before was someone who wasn't even ours. That was due to a breach of contract and nothing came of it because we dropped it ourselves and just tried to match Spurs bid at the eleventh hour. I don't see how anyone can say we're trying to save face when what's coming from our end is that we're more determined than ever to keep him...if we go back on that now we look right mugs.

If this mirror article is correct then there should be nowhere to hide for Liverpool. The authorities need to show some backbone here, although as it's "only" at our expense it wouldn't surprise me if it goes largely ignored. Imagine if this was a United player being tapped up by Liverpool...

There are three clubs in the world who are not "selling clubs". Bayern, Barca, Real. Everyone else can be poached - watch Hazard go to Real this summer.

Worlds greatest monkey chicken petting zoo.

To be honest I would find it quite funny if after all this we sold him to Everton [emoji23]

Give over, she was trolling us and there was no reason to suspect anything other than what it meant at face value.

I may actually demand a refund on my season ticket and then reevaluate later in the window if this goes ahead.

Lets hope we sell him for £60million and he has a recurring injury for the entirety of his contract. I can understand a player wanting to go to Liverpool - Van Dijk is good enough to improve them in such a way they will challenge for the title, and it would mean more doing it with Liverpool after so long than with City or Chelsea. Annoying, but understandable. However he deserves a shot at a Barca/Real/Bayern starting place and if he costs himself that well...no sympathy.

I wouldn't be over the moon with the appointment but i'd recognise he'll probably do well. However I wouldn't go regularly if he was manager...results with boring style isn't worth the money, I can still enjoy the result at home.

That clearly ain't gonna happen is it you f*cking drama queen.

Arsenal are saying he's still under contract and like everyone else has said, youth team shirts don't have the sponsors on. "Once you eliminate the impossible whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth".

Maybe he's just a Saints fan?
