Virgil Transfer Rumours - Summer 17

Hope they know what they are doing

 

 

If we're asking 70 million, yes it's far too much. We want to keep him apparently so we seem to be asking a price that no-one will consider paying. We'll see whether we have the resolve to turn down any realistic offer over 40 million.

I think its safe to say that we would do nothing but laugh if someone offered 40 millions considering we had no internest to sit at the table with Liverpool who allegedly were prepared to pay up to 60 millions.

Hope they know what they are doing

 

 

Hopefully they are showing some back bone and putting down a marker that we will actually hold onto our good players this summer..

 

..next step is to clear out the average dross in the team that's probably easier said than done though....

depends if we'll have the wherewithal to pay for above average, definitely not dross replacements really doesn't it.

If we're going down the 12-13 million pot luck road again as we did last season with Hojberg and Boufal there's no guarantee that we'll be any better than now.

thing is, no one forced VvD to sign a very long term deal recently. No gun was put to his head.

He could have not signed it and no doubt, got his move this summer (he still might)

Might depend on whether we get a new and much wealthier owner.

Doubt it, if he hadn't signed the new contract he still would have had a contract till 2020 and then there would be no reason to sell him if the club desperately want to keep hold on to him.

 

I see only one problem tho, a mediocre season with us (or another injury) and he will be worth jack **** next summer especially with a world cup where he wont be in the first place.

And with reports of 50m+ bids this summer, thats a high stakes poker game.

 

Thats one hell of a tricky spot and im not fond of tricky spots in football cause there's simply no reason to get yourself in one.

A footballers past always skews his current value. Even if he has a mediocre season next season, he'll still be worth upwards of £30million.

Liverpool now in hot water over 'tapping up' Solanke

 

That's so unlike them, so out of character.

Some scousers still think they have a shot at signing VVD, if they pay the full, ridiculous £70 million, and Stuart Pearce is not helping things:

It reminds me of that scene in Dumb and Dumber..."so you're telling me there's a chance..."

"Although, the player himself is in limbo after making it public that he wants a move this summer."

 

He has? Was that article another Crook special or something?

It's almost like the press/media don't want anyone to break the stronghold if the top 6 teams especially not little Southampton. Can't believe that's what drives this speculation though.

Would love to see the public statement from VVD that he wants to move.......surley they having made that up?

Really? Talk about clutching at straws....

 

VVD has been talking to Liverpool, City, Chelsea, etc. and you really think that he wants to stay?

 

He has shown himself up to be as a big a scumbag as Klopp and the rest of the bin dippers.

Any evidence? Or do take everything you read in tabloids as 100% true?

If Liverpool stopped d*cking around and actually bid £65m+ they would get him.

They have all summer yet I guess so plenty more legs in this story...

The scousers seem convinced that VVD is desperate to join them. This is the bit I don't get with no quotes anywhere to back it up.

 

Has he just told them he'd accept their terms and was interested if a price could be agreed or would he sell his mother at this stage to move there?

 

Guess the main question at this point is would he turn down all others just for a Klopp cuddle or are the bigger boys still in the game?

Not now they won't. How can saints sell him to Liverpool now with out looking complete c unts sure if Chelsea or City comes in with a big offer he goes but I can't see us selling him or anyone else to Liverpool this summer.

Meet the man who was behind all that VVD stuff last Monday

Michael Edwards was born in Southampton? You couldn't make this up.

.... but started his off the field football career with the Skates, working with 'arry !!! Even better.

Can't think where he might have learnt about dodgy dealing ...

His relationship with Klopp is 'Terrific'.

Cannot believe these guys fell for it. Did they not even think to look at the followers/following stats?

If Stones is worth £50m then I want at least £1.6bn for Virgil.

I suppose it's very opportune for Kruger to publically state "we are not going to sell VVD" when there is almost certainly an agreement with slander that he won't be sold until the potential take over is complete. Kruger didn't say Southampton FC will not sell BBC this summer, he said "we won't sell him".

did that take you ages to come up with that one? jeez......

Hope they know what they are doing

 

"The world's most expensive defender in the world." Sub-editors are a dying breed.

Take the money and run, He obviously doesn't want to be here so cash in and strengthen the whole team.

Not really...just a passing thought, thats what forums are for d'ya Know :-)

 

BJB: You look older than I thought you would be in that picture with Virgil..

Apparently Conte went on holiday thinking VVD was in the bag, and is now displeased that VVD is out of the bag thanks to Liverpool's attempt at hijacking the transfer:

Liverpool based media trying to turn saints fans against Vvd to force the club's hand !?

Not a rumour, but I'd love to see Marco Benassi at Saints, captain of both Torino and Italy under 21's, looks to have a real blend of attributes, can tackle, but likes to roam forward Aswell, 6ft+ looks like he can handle himself.

wouldnt be a total surprise

I see the press briefings from Anfield have started again....

 

Articles in both the Times and the Telegraph today.

 

It really is time for them to be banned from the transfer market.

Still feel its likely VVD will go this summer but hooefully Saints will simply refuse to sell to Liverpool at any price, no matter what.

 

He will get a move soon anyway with the amount of top sides tracking him, so not like he would be short of options.

I imagine he will end up at Liverpool.

A bit spineless from us if he does IMO.

At least Les Reed can 'claim' he did all he could whilst taking all of Pools money .

Yes, we do spineless quite well under the guidance of Reed

Not so sure, think that they'll baulk at the asking price and get someone else in. I will be staggered if they really give us anything north of 50 million.

Not if they pay the big bucks.

the orchested campaign begins. I thought Liverpool footaball club had put out a statement that they had withdrawn their interest and had apologised to our fans. Thus admitting they are causing us offence and upset, in these times of claims perhaps we should have the help of an ambulance chasing lawyer on this as ' the stress of Liverpools now renewed interest is causing us much strain and we cant sleep, and are having to get medication to help stop it.'

From reading the Telegraph article by Bascombe, Liverpool are waiting for VVD to throw his toys out of the pram before they swoop back into the picture.
