Minsk Posted 30 May, 2017 Share Posted 30 May, 2017 The Independent currently linking Man City with Marquinhos. He's going to end up at bloody Liverpool isn't he? Noooooo!! He can't!! I had a bet with a Liverpool fan on Saturday. Said guy was adamant VvD is going there; I said no chance, he would have far better offers. Basically, if VvD joins Liverpool this summer I have to pay for a night out for him; if VvD stays with us, or signs for anybody else, he has to pay for me. I was sure that I was on to a winner with that bet........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrunkenSaint Posted 30 May, 2017 Share Posted 30 May, 2017 Why sell him this season? he's on a long contract and his value will not drop after next season, infact it may even go up. I know from someone who works at the club that shops at my work, when asked about the VVD situation, he said he truly believed he would end up at either Barca or Real as they were both sniffing around, so why the hell would we sell them to Liverpool? wouldn't it be best to offload players to clubs that we do not face every year?

Both Arse and Liverpool willing to pay VVD 200k per week, according to Cross but VVD is "attracted" to Klopp. Cross also notes that four teams have contacted VVD's advisor. So tapping up x4, then.

Crab Lungs Posted 30 May, 2017 Share Posted 30 May, 2017 If this was true then NO WAY would Virgil Van Dijk have done a photoshoot modeling the new kit if any deal was agreed. I know for a FACT he did it. That's not to say he won't leave the club, I just don't believe for one second any deal to join Liverpool has been agreed and definitely not months ago. Because someone's took a picture of someone in a shirt wil not stop a multi milllion pound from happening. Oh and stop making stuff up and paigarising other people's info.

Think Fabian Delph did this at Villa, he was featured at the centre of all the pre-season build up advertising photos, sat on a fat contract, pledging his allegiance to the club (which VVD hasn't done any of) 10 days later he is on his toes up the M6 to Man City having signed a bench warming contract with them, meanwhile back in Brum fresh billboard posters complete with his beaming mug on, were shouting about Villas imminent season. If nowt has been set firmly in concrete as to where he will be playing, all the new kit PR hullabaloo has to be put in place ready to roll on launch day. So just about everyone would have had a snap taken wearing the new kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toon Saint Posted 31 May, 2017 Share Posted 31 May, 2017 If we get less than £60m for VvD it will be poor business IMO given the amount of competition for his signature and when factoring in that Celtic will be due their 10%.

doddisalegend Posted 31 May, 2017 Share Posted 31 May, 2017 It is about time we just tell Liverpool (and spurs TBF) to do one its getting beyond a joke. VVD is good enough to play for a much better team than Liverpool fair enough I except he will he leave at some point but at least he should leave for a truly good team. If he does go to Liverpool their first team will contain 5 ex saints players. Les should stipulate, in the VVD deal that, any trophy they win has "Courtesy of Southampton" engraved on it.

Why not wait for a bidding war, with arsenal, city, Chelsea all interested it seem like a golden opportunity to hold on a bit.. Doesn't work like that. I have a mate with contacts at Boscombe, he told me last summer (when we were talking about Mane) that nowadays agents will be given the price we're willing to sell at & they'll then tout him round. Any bidding war will only benefit the agent as he'll "influence " where they go. Our price is our price.
