    That's football fans in general. Most players that were lauded here, that then went on to bigger clubs suddenly became average in the eyes of a lot of Saints fans.

    I don't think anyone he been touchy on here for your visit this time Skylarker. You honestly expect to visit another teams board, post about one of their players leaving to join your club and not have some people put you right?

    I'd say the touchy fans are those that have been living in the shadow of their fiercest rivals for 25 years, not winning a league they expect to dominate and possibly getting itchy as their local rivals seem to be wanting to eclipse them too :)

    We get used to it with you visitors though. Once you're told what's what, you fall back on the "touchy"/"precious" line..... you don't double up as that Hoddle is a Hoddle is a God bloke do you? <laugh>

    Mate I haven't said once he's coming to Liverpool. I've said he'll go this summer.

    and if he doesn't he's an idiot to be quite honest!

    Why would one of the best defenders stay at Southampton with no connection to the club at all?

    Signed a contract. We pay him. He will always have a big club in for him. End of the day it's his employers decision not his. We've said he won't go, if we stay true to our word then he stays. He goes on strike? Put him in the reserves, although in a World Cup year, a year without a competitive match might not look great when trying to get into the squad.

    As my friend said this week
    "Van Dijk holds a card. Southampton holds the deck".

    Sadly saintsfcfan, I don't think it really works like that. if Virgil plays up properly, he'll be most likely gone. Our hope is that he knuckles down for the season and an agreement he can go next year.

    As a Liverpool fan I'm sure you're well aware of what it's like.

    What about...

    Kaulibaly
    Varane
    Hummels
    Alderwaild (sp?)
    Boetang
    Silva
    Chiellini
    Bonucci
    Godin


    ^^^^ All better than VVD and probably all cheaper. BTW that list is purely 30 seconds thought.

    Fine by me....VVD suits us, so best if all other clubs look elsewhere.

    All better? Nah.

    All available? Nah.

    All playing for big teams who can win their league.

    Come on skylarker, you've been fishing, had a couple of nibbles. Isn't it time you trotted back home for lunch now? The cricket is on and the Grand Prix starts shortly :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Unfortunately for Southampton that isn't happening though is it? Lets pretend contracts mean something and carry on in some weird 90's football bubble.

    I applaud your optimism.
