He's in the squad for tonight... Oh well - at least we can watch him on TV

Try again:

Watch this move at 8:53 If he does that for us I'd be chuffed...

Another good vid here. Looks quality - strong, physical, seems to read the game well.

This is a good video. Shows him advancing forwards a bit more. Something about the way that he runs and the way that he passes (plus his bald head) reminds me of Zidane... Yes, I know I know.

Fee of £4 mil? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3195167/Chelsea-midfielder-Oriol-Romeu-set-Southampton-medical-Wednesday-clubs-agree-4m-fee-Spanish-star.html?ITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

I prefer these 'all touches' type videos. It gives you a better sense of what the player is about then a few cherry-picked highlights:

Keep in mind what our ITKers have said about the agreement in place about no news leaking. Can you imagine Simon Peach phoning Jordan Sibley to ask if there is any truth in the VVD medical rumours and being told 'yes'? Pretty sure that they will keep quiet until it's signed and sealed.

That's them outside their hotel. They are staying in the bridal suite.

What's your source, Steve?

Steve Grant @SteveGrant1983 Led to believe van Dijk passed a medical at #saintsfc this morning, just the transfer terms to iron out with Celtic This advanced...?

Per Tom Coull on Twitter: @_Firebirding Thanks Ben! The plan is to show every home Under-21s game live on YouTube this season. #saintsfc Fixture list: http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/youth/u21-fixtures/

"Technically I'm not talking about transfers there, but the conditions of an agreement regarding transfers." Is it reading too much into this to conclude that an agreement is in place to sign VVD and possibly one other Celtic player?

Agree. Never mind commanding his area, Gazza needs to learn how to command his 6 yard box!!!

Turned his ankle for U21s early in the second half. Didn't look serious.

I seriously hope that this guy doesn't keep Rickie out of the team: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/33852895

The Wet Spam fans were crawling all over TalkSport after their pre-season and Europa woes, then look what happened today. Football.... it's a funny old game...

Hopefully Liverhampton will lose 4-0 - then it will be a good football day...

Totally different kind of player playing a different role. I fear a 'Gaston' level of sharpness frustration with Clasie. Seriously hope he adjusts quickly.

Shout out to the ref by the way. I thought he had a good game.

If you think Clasie (regardless of his injury) is ready to play in a game of that intensity then you are deluded. I wouldn't be surprised if it took him a whole season to get on the pace of the prem.

His attacking play was superb and the cross for the goal was a peach. he does need to learn to defend though... fast.

Davis MOTM for me. In the first half in particular he remained solid and sensible when all about him were panicking... He kept us in the game.
