The Virgil Van Dijk Stays at Southampton Thread

Not as much as I used to be to be fair. Was on there much more a few years back but got pissed off with all the name changes after Klopp joined and not knowing who any ****er was

I generally just stick to our matches and inevitable transfer sagas now. With the odd visit when I'm bored to poke astro with a stick.

 

Love how sky & luvvy liked this without knowing the reference

 

If Liverpool benefit from their despicable behaviour over this matter then society really has become morally bankrupt.

When football ceases to reflect the moral code by which I live it is time to move on.

 

I can relate to that Godders.

 

Bring back the league 1 days!

 

When we were the 'bad guys', haha.

 

If he goes he goes. I don't get attached to players these days.

 

I don't care if he goes, This just smacks of liverpool trying yo get him on the cheap.

 

I understand if we get silly money for him.....then sell him.....but anywhere but bloody liverpool please.

 

Was just making this exact point on the Pool board.

Fonte was the last player we had who I had any attachment too.

 

So he is sulking as he didn't get his move. It must be so hard for him, such a difficult life. I guess his team mates are beyond respecting at this point. Or maybe he is protecting them from slipping on his tears

 

Think Lallana was mine. Players aren't loyal anymore, move them on and get the cash.

 

Lallana sort of was mine (that was the summer I decided) but couldn't turn it off for Jose due to all the memories.

 

Or maybe this has nothing whatsoever to do with anything other than our new manager laying down a marker - "If you don't give your all in training under me you can get lost until your head is in the right place" We certainly won't have had an approach from Liverpool so this is entirely down to VVD's behaviour and MP's way of dealing with it. He hasn't refused to train, he simply wasn't training how MP wanted. It's potentially a very different situation to your standard "player forces move" scenario.

 

Sorry but what are you basing this on?

 

I agree, however it's disappointing as you seem attach that phrase to a key player most summers now. Takeover or not, if we don't pay the wages our competitors will, key players will always jump ship. VvD signed a 6 yr deal but that was when Koeman was boss. I won't hold a grudge but will be pissed off for a bit.

 

No approach yet. But it will happen now Van Dijk has said he wants to go.

 

On their statement/apology withdrawing all interest. Of course I may well be utterly wrong but we'll never know, hence starting with "Maybe".

 

26 year old acts like 10 year old who hasn't got his own way. The sad thing is they don't even realise how childish they seem to the rest of us. I would love us to get his replacement and leave VVD out of the team altogether. Grow up Virgil.

Before anyone goes on about not getting attached to players, I'm not. I am attached to Saints though and therefore disrespect from players deserves comment.

 

You said certainly
