The Virgil Van Dijk Stays at Southampton Thread

Can't we offer him to PSG for a discount price of 100m?

 

And the closer we get to deadline day, the less likely it is that we'll part with him anyway.

 

PSG can have him and pay his last years salary back to us

 

They shafted him by changing their attitude after he won the Euros? Nah.

 

Good bit of business moving his ego on in Jan for money. Especially with the whispers coming out of WH at present.

 

shafted him because he wanted to move to United maybe (slight hissy fit?). Manager/club felt slighted so then decided not to play him properly, especially since he was on a downward trajectory anyway. Obviously Fonte got miffed off, he didn't get to play in Europe. The rest is history.

 

Oh right. I was wrong. Clearly all the clubs fault

 

If the club don't bend over for these big time players, they slaughtered for being unfair.

 

Not even sure he even said anything about moving, just my speculation. No one offered to buy him. Makes sense the club would want to get rid of one of their higher earners though as he wasn't producing the goods

 

This is pretty much my view, the truth is probably somewhere in the middle. He probably spat his dummy out yes, I'm in no doubt the club could have handled it better though.

 

'good bit of business' bit of a cold way to talk about a legend.

Hope you don't whinge about lack of loyalty.

 

Loyalty is earned, and lost in equal measure.

 

Great discussion technique there.

 

Mr grumpy looking for a fight perhaps.......

 

So you won't moan about a player showing a lack of loyalty then?

Cool

 

Not at all mate, just love pointing out hypocrisy, particularly from those who live on a high horse.

Pretty sure I'm on ignore anyway

 

We must not take up valuable space on here going over this, we will bore everyone. He came back from the euro's mr big time, we offered a contract, he refused it, he turned up and did little more till we let him go to his dream club in london. I'll be thankful of the previous seasons, but for me he tarnished his time here. Its just my opinion.
And I do forgive mistakes, Morgan is one of my favorite all time players, the way he handled that last season with us showed us his character. Fonte also showed us his.

 

He wanted to go

 

No you're not for the record. Just choosing not to engage, if that's ok, because I think that's best.

 

Okey doke
