The Virgil Van Dijk Stays at Southampton Thread

.

@luvgonzo good deal that mate.

 

Is it legit or one of those internet cons where they wipe your bank account?

 

Tom''s been talking again on SW:


The updates I have on most stuff is already out in the press. Hoedt is signing. Being signed as a starter.
Clasie and Gazzaniga both off (posted about that a couple of weeks ago though). One more to go too apparently. Unlikely to be Long I'm told. MP likes him.

On VVD, there is an offer. It's close to valuation but will be rejected, even if its increased. Three other clubs have enquired; all EPL. Doesn't look like any will get close to valuation. May change as window closes. Stalemate still...club refusing to sell, player refusing to play. Something went on today relating to a fine. Not sure what. Club seemingly prepared to keep him in the knowledge he may continue to refuse to play.

One more player to come in. Attacking player.

 

We only do honest deals, unlike some............

 

Did I hear it right, Barca are suing Neymar for breach of Contract?

 

Barca are right tight ****S tbf wouldn't surprise me.

 

I'm sure he said we had dropped the interest in Hoedt and were after Wimmer and that a foreign club were in for VVD. Keep your story straight, mate.

 

Was he the one that said we were buying a centre back from a club beginning with A?

Another ITK crumbles

 

The latest round of straw-clutching now has Liverpoolvan fans expecting VD to be sold, because we've got a replacement. Err..no, we've got a player to strengthen our defence, and why would we then weaken it by selling Van Dijk?

 

Probably claim it was....A Rome team.

 

I didn't mean to put "Liverpoolvan fans", but that's quite a good description of them (but I would say that, wouldn't I?)

 

He;s been bang on with his VVD ITKs all summer ... first to break the training on his own, for example.

 

Shouldn't we be suing Liverpool for the loss of services of a contracted player as a consequence of their illegal approach and co-ordinated media campaign to unsettle the player. That we should do as it would stop this rot once and for all.

 

Ah, but a good lawyer would argue that VVD decided for himself to stop playing - Liverpool's interest was completely coincidental, and has not affected Van Dijk in any measurable way.

They would then argue that black was white and get run over on a zebra crossing (courtesy of The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy)

 

You've been watching to much of Law and Order.............

 

I was reading that line and thinking 'Hello THHGTTG brilliant line nicking'. But you saved yourself.

 

On lurk on TSW a little (bit like a window into madness) and he seems to be hit and miss on there

 

Yeah he has way too much "info" at one time to be ITK. Most of the stuff he seems to be taking from what we already know and the press.

 

Aaargh! SSN are at it again today, still trying to flog VD to Scouse, rubbishing their current CB's! They don't rate Lovren and not impressed by Matic, no mention of Sakho.

 

Are you sure it isn't just "skylark" having a bit of a laugh...................or even a moan heaven to bid.........
