    I appreciate the information you post but isn't this a bit of a betrayal of trust?

    Well Beefy normally knows what's up from his 'insider' news, and I haven't heard a peep from him. Sadly, I'm not in contact with my friend from Hythe sailing club anymore. He lived just across the road from Staplewood and used to talk to the players all the time. They'd tell him everything a journo might love to know. I wondered how he got them to divulge stuff, but he did look the innocent type, so perhaps they felt safe.

    Not really, no one knows who I am or who they are. I merely asked them about VVD and they told me what I posted above, and then they mentioned about Bertrand. They didn't request I kept this information hush hush, it's not my fault if they're telling tales when they shouldn't be.

    At any business, stories and rumors about employees abound (some true, some not). Staff and players, their wives, girlfriends, parents and friends etc are all constantly asked about the goings on at the club and, as is human nature, people love to talk.
    One thing I can assure you is true, is just because information comes from someone who is genuinely in a position to be ITK, it does not always mean it is accurate.

    Les Reed told me Virgil is staying for the next 20 years and wants to buy the club.

    I heard over the weekend that a Dutch football player was buying a house costing £5.6m in Winchester. There's only two candidates for who that could be...

    VVD

    Van Dijk loves it here so hopefully him, but can see him leaving sadly.



    Van Dijk, 25, is said to be interesting Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea and a report in The Sun states the latter has jumped to the front of the queue ahead of Arsenal.

    Per the report from Neil Ashton, Chelsea is said to be offering $65 million for the elegant central defender and also a loan deal for Danish defender Andreas Christensen.

    Give us Christensen permanently and this deal is looking good.

    If he loves it here there's no reason he would be sold this summer other than the board cashing in on their prize asset. If they sell him then they go right down in my estimations as they have said more than once they don't intend to sell.

    Got to get him fit first, no one is going to risk buying damaged goods, only we do that.
