EXCLUSIVE: Saints ask Premier League to investigate illegal approach from Liverpool for Virgil van Dijk #saintsfc
Southampton asking for an investigation is rubbish. Been linked everywhere for months but now all of a sudden they want to make a complaint? Until he's holding the shirt and it's official then the rumours are rubbish.
Exactly - the player has already spoken to Liverpool city and Chelsea. Can't see anything in this. Soton just want to look like their fighting for their player.
has he? do you have video evidence of this discussion like the mourinho and cole case? if not it never happened whats really happening is saints are saying we told you we did not want to sell so we are going to make this as hard as possible for all.saints have been quite vocal. he is not for sale. its just everyone at saints are for sale... at some price
It's good timing that city drop their interest, and Soton now threaten to have us investigated. They've done this before, not surprised at this really.
If we're found guilty of tapping up VVD, then I suspect 90% of the PL are also guilty of the same crime.
true but difference is we don't know what goes on behind the scenes and Soton have reported you directly whilst everyone else who haven't.
Just because we flew a player to Liverpool, showed him around and told him what players earn at the club, bought him a new car and shipped him in a Russian WAG doesn't mean we're tapping him up, we're just being nice.
I'd be ****ing delighted I would also like to see a restraining order preventing anyone employed by LFC ever talking to any Saints player, or going within 100 miles of Southampton except on match days. Furthermore, I don't consider it unreasonable to hope that Adam Lallana and Dejan Lovren get thrown in jail on trumped up charges of match fixing, or something.
To be fair, it's a bit embarrassing constantly buying Soton players. Will make the exception for VVD And hopefully no more. This deal will go ahead, will take a few days.
