Totally this.

can we go with deluded ****s then, that way they can't link it with any tragedy and get upset.

Well that hardly makes you unique but thanks for that anyway

I think if he goes to Liverpool we look like idiots regardless of price !

If you are referring to this http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/15435813.Should_Saints_sell_van_Dijk_or_try_to_repeat_previous_transfer_delays_/ then I'm not sure how you reach that conclusion. I read it as quite the opposite.

absolutely right, he didn't have to sign. I know a lot of footballers aren't the sharpest pencils in the box but he must have known signing a six year deal would mean the club would expect him to stay longer than 12 months ! No regard for the 6 months bringing him back to fitness either. He really has shown himself to be a bit of an asshole.

Not just every other player at Southampton. This would be the catalyst for players everywhere.

im sure he does......might end up disappointed tho. Putting stuff like this out would, if I was on the board of SFC make me even more determined that he isn't leaving or if he does it's not to them ! its disgraceful the way this is being carried out.

According to Sky Chelsea are interested......but they are also interested in VVD and Cedric. We might as well just pack up now.......

Sorry i missed this - hes not injured again is he ? WTF ?

yes according to Adam Blackmore back at the time too. Old Nivea boy had a right hissy fit cos he was captain and the board should have had the Bat Phone manned at all times for when he called demanding a move

So on one hand you are saying it's only a pre season friendly and the result etc is irrelevant which is correct of course. Then on the other hand you are basing on that performance the confidence that Stephens is good enough and will be first choice this season ? Dont get me wrong, I don't dislike Stephens but he showed a fair degree of inexperience at key moments last season and still has plenty to learn. He isn't particularly dominant in the air either. I'm sorry but I still see him as back up and not the replacement for Fonte and nowhere near replacement for VVD. If we are happy with Stephens as a first choice player then we are going to be happy with surviving in the league and little else,

Bednarek hasnt been bought as a first team regular this season though has he ? He will likely play some U23 games then go out on loan. Considering he only played less than 50 games for his Polish club side he hasnt come here for Prem League football just yet.

Thats a shame.

he had a slight hamstring injury last week. Given his misfortunes in pre-season the past two years perhaps they aren't taking any chances. He could have played the behind closed doors game Wednesday of course.

Still need a replacement for Fonte never mind the VVD situation....

Totally agree. Like i said yesterday Southampton FC have to stand firm on this and not cave in - its about more than just this club and VVD now. IF we do decide to sell it cannot be to Liverpool its as simple as that BUT ultimately they have to keep the player regardless of his mental state blah blah blah. We are led to believe this is out of character for VVD. If thats the case he will get his head down and play once these Scouse ****ers sod off.

Oh ffs we all know why - MONEY / GREED mate, thats all

This is now about more than just VVD and Southampton. If the club caves in from their stance and let him go it will send out a message to every single player who wants to leave any club. If they hold firm and maintain he sorts his head out as he is not for sale that sends out a positive message for all clubs in this very situation. Its about time these bloody petulant child like footballers are introduced to the word no !

That and the usual case of wanting the new manager to assess what he has already....

my feeling exactly

Well it makes a change from the novice Sherlock Holmes's on here building a whole web of intrigue and suspicion over everything VVD related

no just Jay Rod and before him Fonte outgoing

first off the bus in the club video, didn't appear to be moving too well, maybe rested as precaution ?
