The Virgil Van Dijk Stays at Southampton Thread

Phew ... thank goodness for that. I was worried for a moment

 

Hopefully with the increased decriminalisation and legality of use in the US we can follow suit.
I don't think it's likely but would love to see it legalised here, and that's coming from someone who doesn't smoke it (or eat it).

 

£75m with our scouting department. Yes please. That could get us a good quality VD replacement, a goal scoring attacking midfielder and have money to spare for whatever we may need in January. Used wisely that could improve us a lot.

 

Best keep that to Manolo's as it's OT and a little bit naughty. I personally don't give a **** about what people think of my habit...but I've been a productive member of society, paid my taxes, never claimed benefits and brought up 4 kids to be decent adults. It'll be legal soon, and we can all continue to enjoy our once illegal drug of choice, and **** the haters.
I have a greenhouse in the garden, and its not called that for nothing, so it's a cheap habit, eco friendly and hurts nobody else. I'm a nicer person because I'm a smoker, it allows me to put up with other people so can only be a good thing.
Back on topic, I think VVD is going nowhere, Vin, myself and a few others will make a few quid on our bets and Liverpool will slink back to having a mediocre season, especially if Barca turn up and take Coutinho from them, the big bullies.

 

I wouldn't be happy if I was a Saint's fan and Pool got the player they have clearly tapped up, I'd go as far as saying they have ruined your pre season preparations.

Let's hope he flops wherever he goes. I don't think he's all that anyway. I remember when we beat you 1-4 at your place, maybe I've made this up, I'm not sure if there was such a game. Anyway he scored your opener then got schooled for the rest of the game...25 mill tops

 

Smoked it a lot (virtually every day) in my teens and it started sending me a bit west by 18. Genuinely thought I had gone mental when I quit as I couldn't sleep and was actually thinking again rather than doing everything in a glorious haze. Took me a couple of months but felt fine, still smoke very occasionally and I just hate the feeling now. Shame really as when I went to uni loads of people were just getting into it and really enjoying it but I did too much too young I think and ruined it.

 

I'm not bothered one way or the other, it's win-win with that amount, but it will be very interesting to see if the club do go for it.

My guess is we will but we are in new ground here and anybody who claims to know for sure is talking out of their arse.

 

Be interesting if it did happen as it will be hard for us to get the players we want this close to the start of the season across Europe. Will probably have to overpay for any players we do sign post VVD, but will definitely be interesting. Also would make the next edition of FM fun with Saints and loadsa money

 

Make it £80 million cash up front and you have a deal.

 

So you judge him based him on one game? He's arguably the best CB in the league and his price tag reflects that.

 

void

 

I just saw flaws in his game that can't be eradicated quickly and be put down to a 'one off'

He had some long term deficiencies

The best CB in the league is Toby Alderworld...he must be worth at least the magic 90

 

No worries fats, you know I include you in that group



I genuinely hope you take this post in the right way (semi-jokingly) as intended mate...

Despite everything, I've always said me and you get on so much better in person than we do on here

 

He'll be at home in Liverpool then.

 

I can moan but have to accept being called out on it. Which I have been and I accept being called out on it. So I will no longer comment on this area .

 

I think we can all agree that if he has to go there, that the best outcome is pool getting knocked out of CL while he picks up another injury...

 

Pool lads been roughing you up Godders?

You seem vex up blud

 

Not a lot of time for that. And there is a risk of prices being increased if clubs know we have extra funds

 

I think VVD is class, but if our holding midfield pair can do a decent job I don't think we'll miss him if he's unavailable due to his head being up his own arse. **** him, **** him in his stupid, greedy, lying arse and let him rot on the sidelines for as long as it takes. Not bitter mind, just can't stand dishonesty

 

The thing is,what a lot of people don't understand, is that different substances - be it drink, weed, caffeine and even smack - affect different people in different ways.

There's no correct universal answer when it comes to substance abuse
