The Virgil Van Dijk Stays at Southampton Thread

That would be great to see tbh. Not happening though unfortunately.

 

News flash?

 

Gordon's alive!

 

You're assuming we'll even try to get a replacement TLL. Wouldn't be surprised with the current board if they just announced how great it is that Florin is back fit and well. If I'd bought a ST, I'd be pretty pissed right now.

 

He's right as well. VVD could do a lot better - at the end of next season.

 

This. It actually annoys me a bit that Van Dijk thinks that Liverpool and only Liverpool are the club to sign for. This is a club that despite all its glory has only won one trophy in the last ten years. He can do so much better.

 

They weren't even good enough to put a single goal past him last season.

 

And the fact that he should understand why we hate them. I mean, talk about a bad choice. ****ing knobhead.

 

When I buy my ST it isn't because I expect my Club to be Champions or Cup Winners, that would be a nice bonus but being realistic it ain't going to happen. I buy it to support my local team and enjoy what they dish up. 60 years plus has taught me that it is never going to be an easy ride, the roller coaster has its ups and downs which I accept and move on whatever happens.
No ambition? No just a different attitude, never been a glory hunter despite having the best day of my life on May 1st 1976!
As for the present, yes disappointed about the lack of any transfer action and I don't expect anything special this Season unless we strengthen. Time will tell, I won't lose any sleep over it, well not much anyhow.

 

Mane is a poor choice

 

Yeah, cos it was pretty **** when the board didn't replace Lallana, Lovren, Shaw, Lambert etc etc.

 

Fair enough Don. We all see it differently.

 

So this latest snippet has come from 'Sky sources'. Nothing to do with them trying to get more scousers to waste their cash on Sky Bet I'm sure. Nothing has changed according to the article.

 

SSN still repeating the same old dross, Saints should say, that every time it happens the selling price goes up another Million quid.

 

Originally it was a source 'close to the player'

His agent issuing a come and get me.

 

Maybe, but it would also be so easy to make this stuff up. The actual content is nothing new in respect of either of the clubs stance.

 

I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that it's true though. Could be right about clubs stance but Virgil/his agent are definitely beginning to turn the screw.

 

So the current scenario it seems is:

Saints saying they don't want to sell and VVD training alone
Liverpool saying they will only bid if Saints encourage it due to a broken relationship between the 2

The only way it seems to me that VVD goes to Liverpool is if another team comes in and bids and Saints accept it and Liverpool match their bid, which Saints then might not accept anyway. Or VVD makes it clear he is going full on strike mode and won't play again Saints regardless of the window being closed.

 

Why? The point is, we got another season out of him, after he had acted the arse.

 

VvD is a greedy twat. Just put in a transfer request and save us a few million. How the hell do you think you deserve a loyalty bonus? Just the lowest of the low.
