This cannot be right? We have been assured by a certain poster that not only will Vic be leaving today but that there is no chance of Virgil signing! Check your sources!

Indeed it is, He can go no where without the club agreeing to sell him until his contact runs down.

LOL so he will play for us for another two seasons? Nice one Vic.

You have to chuckle at Durham's article. What has keeping Stones got to do with taking a young player from another club? His argument is that by not allowing Stones to move they shouldn't be taking a younger player and moving him on themselves. Just ridiculous. If Stones does want to better himself again he will move when his contract runs down. Just as the young lad they have just signed can.

Never good to get your winkle mixed up with your sphincter!

No doubt he is thinking up a comical name right now for Clasie just as he did with "Gashton." My money is on No Classie.

Apparently Morgan rates him. He had to tell Rooney all about him as Wayne had never heard of him.

Some fans still think that too apparently. There are still posts mentioning *skimming off the top."

Finished early on transfer deadline day Guan? Lightweight!

Fonte was a bargain! As was Rickie Lambert.

I agree. The lack of young exciting English talent is really disappointing. The number of imports in the Premiership doesn't help. Nor does the ridiculous fees requested for English players.

Poor old Alpine. All we need is for Virgil to sign tomorrow and a if to stay and he will throw himself off the nearest alp

How did he play today?

And yet professional managers who see him in training day in day out have a different opinion. Go figure.

I am still looking back to find out who else is queueing up to leave. I have found something that says Sadio wants to stay but that isn't helpful. Who else have I missed?

Can you find my quotes where I have said that everything is rosy and the club can never do anything slightly below par? Show me the evidence and I will believe it. The trouble is the accusations about the club being mismanaged are very rarely, if ever, substantiated with anything to back them up. I'll give you an example, there are still some posters on here who peddle as a fact the reason that Toby didn't sign is because of the club's incompetence - this completely ignores the fact that the club tried to keep him and he decided to move elsewhere. But that doesn't sit nicely with the club being run like a second rate B & B does it, so the facts get airbrushed out of history and you can bet your mortgage this nonsense will be rolled out for years to come.

Okay then, who else has come out and said that they want to leave in recent weeks?

Perhaps he pooed himself a la Lineker? Oh well, some time reflecting in the stands might bring back his confidence, that or some incontinence pants! Seriously though, whatever is going on behind the scenes the club seem to be dealing with it as best they can. You really cant hold a gun to a players head and force him to play. Frankly, if the rumours are true and his is throwing his toys out of the pram I would keep him here until he has a year left of his contract and let him rot.

Ah damn, that is what happened when you have a lie in on a Sunday then. Who has gone today? (his quote included "at the moment")

I have absolutely no idea what is or isn't happening behind the scenes. I have had a serious dose of the sh*ts that only lasted one day. I also had a spasm in my colon that made me feel like I had been shot. I was perfectly fine the day before and perfectly fine the day after. He may or may not be angling for a move. It is more than possible that Koeman hasn't spoken to him. I would imagine that any communication is going on between his agent and whoever handles the players contracts etc. He may or may not go in this window. I am inclined to believe that the club are being straight when they say that no more players will be sold at this point. No matter how inept you think the club's management are, do you really think that they would let him go at this stage and without an adequate replacement? At some point Vic will be "better" enough to play unless he wants to sit out the season in the reserves.

How many others are lining up to leave?

Couldn't agree more. Next time someone shoves a microphone up his nose he should push it away and show off his skills with a half hour demonstration of keepy uppy!
