The fact he was not playing for us and training on his own a few hours after a slew of articles about how he was Liverpool's only target says to me that Liverpool have probably had something to do with the timing. Personally I'd be absolutely disgusted if he ends up at Liverpool.

Jeez, their ****witted excuses for fans are still going on about how unfair it was being called out on their illegal tapping up. They really do earn the victims tag don't they.

That's a pretty short list in football.

Aye, 'swept under the carpet' comes to mind.

In which case he's choosing to stay then.

We can only accept offers from other clubs though, denying him the opportunity of joining Liverpool, and only giving him the choice of staying here or joining a different club other than Liverpool.

It's utterly ridiculous that a player with half a decade left on his contract should expect to leave, or that any club should expect to be able to get him, if the club doesn't want to sell. Has that EVER happened with ANY player?

He'll probably move on at some point in the future, but he's still the best choice for it now I reckon.

Personally I'd give it to Romeu. He GETS it with Southampton.

Pfft, he has a history of winding people up with crap like that and it's not always been right. Wouldn't surprise me if he's guessed on this too from VVD's twitter and happened to be right this time.

If it was me personally, I'd be telling he can move on a free in five years time, but I'm not sure the team would end up better off by doing that...

It's not just about van Dijk and this window or this season though. We've suffered more than most from tapping up, usually to Liverpool. If we can do something about that we'll be far better off for it.

If we get the money we want from someone other than Liverpool, he's gone.

He's certainly made a good impression so far.

Certainly isn't ideal. Makes you wonder why VVD wants to move, though. After all, there's been no bid for him, and any contact with the player would have beeen illegal. Might come down to it that we have to make it so that Liverpool can't sign anyone to keep him.

I hope you lot realise you've managed to convince Twitter that VvD is actually on strike now

Looks like the brakes are being put on Gomez going out on loan from Liverpool.

Personally I find it quite an interesting social experiment to see how far you're willing to keep digging.

AS Roma seem to have copied our parody announcement video (as in, literally used some of our material) to announce their own signing. Frankly it's pretty weird.

I.. Um... OK...

Liverpool fans are funny. It's like the ****wits think the only possible thing we can offer a player is the opportunity to move to a 'bigger' club. That we'll have to sell van Dijk or no one will ever sign for us again.

http://www.empireofthekop.com/2017/07/18/klopp-laments-crazy-england-laughs-that-nobodies-cost-25m/ Aww, seems like it's starting to be that poor old Liverpool can't just outspend other clubs to get better than them any more. Of course, rather than seeing it as leading to healthy competition in the Premier League, they see it as the Premier League shooting itself in the foot. I mean, just imagine how terrible it would be if Liverpool started to slip even further down the league...

There's absolutely no chance at all we'll be paying him extra to honour his current contract.

If VvD was on strike we wouldn't be seeing him in training videos That much at least is utter ********.
