    £7.50 an hour, but he got a clean sheet bonus which could be worth up to £20 a week.

    At least, judging by the miserable sneer on the ungrateful little twat's face, you'd have to imagine that was the case.

    Because you ran to the FA. Liverpool made it clear what they were willing to pay. Just like how we now magically signed him without the window being open.

    Honestly? On his best form, very good. Nearly as good as Toby Alderweireld.

    If he has a fault, it's that he gets caught out of position a lot. Which imo is probably only going to get worse under Klopp. On the other hand, if you are going to try and play 90 minutes in your opponents half every week, that will suit him.

    Oh, and he has a **** attitude.

    Virgil played very well with Fonte....they suited each other. Not saying it will happen with Virgil (who is a better player), but Lovren is a shadow of the player he was here when he played alongside Fonte. Was always amazed that no one came in for Fonte before he went into decline.

    Fonte apologises for post suggesting Bertrand should go to Liverpool. Says it was just a running joke with Bertie about the number of players going to the same team. You could read it that way and I am prepared to accept that as who needs more animosity in their lives. Twitter is a minefield.

    That’s him trying to dig himself out of a hole. Never heard such bollocks. He got found out being daft and is trying to bluff out of it. Not having it, sorry.

    Does Astro actually think people care that Van Dijk has gone?

    Astro is just seeking the validation he never got from his adopted parents.

    At least the strained relationship between Saints and Liverpool has been repaired before the transfer which makes it a melody:emoticon-0137-clapp.
