The Virgil Van Dijk Stays at Southampton Thread

Talk is cheap.

 

#cough# As you were...I refer you to my post earlier in the day. #5173

 

Don't understand if Klopp wants Sakho out because he's got attitude why then want to sign someone that's also got attitude He could save himself £30m plus by keeping Sakho

 

Indeed it is, whatever that's supposed to mean, when talking is all they can do in the situation.

I take it you'd prefer they said nothing then, and kept some of our more excitable Saints fans on the verge of cardiac arrest.?

 

Oh bugger it, did I not get up early enough again.?

 

No, I'm just saying that I don't take their words as a strong proof. They issued similar statements plenty of times before, and the player would then leave shortly after.

But that being said, it really seems that this time they stayed true to their word.

 

Well they have explained themselves enough times this close season why we can accept that they mean what they say this time. In seasons past they have desired to keep the players, but always there was a price, because they were trying to balance the books. Now there isn't one that can be reached that would be acceptable to the buying club. Saints simply don't need the cheap money and will be keeping the players they want to keep. I don't think they can be clearer than that. Somewhere along the line we have to start believing.

 

There's no doubt about that. I saw it clearly.

 

Bloody hell

 

Just a lot of egg on faces of some.

 

poor Van Dijk. He will have to make do with £80k a week playing for the Saints in the Premier League for now.

Its a hard life.

 

He'll be living hand to mouth - may even have to dip into the bins

 

Wait, there are actually people who still think that Van Dijk might go to Liverpool?

 

You come across any Liverpool fans? It's been obvious for weeks he's not been going there!

 

I was in Scouseland at the weekend, unfortunately.

 

Did you track the plane?

 

Seems legit...

 

Let him wait for his rehab game!! He's a fool to himself, an embarrassment to the game and not worthy yet of wearing the shirt he voluntarily signed a few months ago.
