What makes it "our place"?

Nonsense! For example...

Correct on all counts

It is a lot more than three people.

You know you've just described a foul don't you? What are you suggesting he should do when being fouled?

He was good today, were you watching a different game? Mess

Too often football fans write off a players performance on one or two incidents in a game. Of course, the sending off was game-changing and idiotic, but he played pretty well until that point.

Why do you think he might not be?

Well that is the copy and paste answer when people say "why isn't X in the squad". Some players have to miss out each week.

It is listed as 4-2-3-1 McCarthy Cedric Vestergaard Hoedt Bertrand Lemina Hojbjerg Redmond Ings Elyounoussi Long

Same as I want in every single cup draw.. A game vs the worst team left in the competition at St Mary's, in order to give Saints the best possible chance of progression and limit travel impact on the league.

Hojbjerg is not listed as currently suspended on the FA's discipline website.

They'd be ineligible.

The 3rd time he has been named in an England senior squad.

No need for it to be sizable due to having a release clause in his contract. But in any case are you suggesting he would pick Saints over Liverpool?

He does! I wear a tear away skirt, Glasgow keeps pulling it off!

Normally you complain Saints aren't spending money on transfer and wages. Now you admit they have an expensively assembled squad and a high wage budget. Time to start making your mind up boss! [video=youtube;h4-lKMGII_k]

That still is not an adequate definition unless you outline what it is in comparison to. Amazing or rubbish compared to what exactly?

Who are you suggesting we could have realistically signed to replace world record fee defender van Dijk and it count as a replacement?

Not in any official way, only by fans who missed the change.

Is there? Where exactly? I haven't seen any from any source remotely approaching a credible one.

Why do you think it is a joke?

How about that they are still in their early 20s and the club want to see if they can develop further and be ready for the 1st team in the future?

1) Can you define exactly what an "average player" is? 2) They are loaned out at least in part to try and get them capable of a level good enough for our first team. Just because they are loaned out for a few seasons doesn't mean they will never be good enough. 3) It hasn't been called the Premiership since 2007

What do you think Vestergaard is? Ok he isn't as good as van Dijk, but he is still his replacement.
