Yeah, nothing of interest to us there. Hopefully someone then asked him about FF and VVD.
Any more updates on this happening? CBs have to be top of the list but it seems Forster might be closer to signing.
Les has a mobile phone and a laptop. We also have Paul Mitchell, Head of Recruitment.
Or the Rojo deal needs negotiating, whereas the Forster and Dijk deals are done (whether yes or no).
There hasnt been betting on Dijk next club for the last month or so, not sure if there ever was. No betting on Rojo's next club that i have seen either.
Same with Danny Ings, we were favourites to sign him , but the betting got taken down a month or so ago.
Last time i looked we were hot favourites to sign Leroy Fer, and were third favourites behind Man U and Barcelona for Thomas Vermaelan.

Being reported that van Dijk could join up with Forster here, dependent on other targets.
Can we assume...
CB #1 = Rojo / van Dijk
CB #2 = Gardos
...?

Seems sensible. I'd take either Rojo or Van Dijk, but obviously I'd prefer the former.
I'd be happy with ether Rojo or Van Dijk. You would think the Van Dijk deal would be more of a goer then the Rojo deal.
It does indeed look as if we want 2 CB's. I think whilst we may not end up with a starting 11 full of such class, we will have a squad with so much dependable depth - more so than last season.
I think Gardos is going to be a competition/squad addition, will put pressure on Fonte and the big Lovren replacement we are clearly planning to make. This is just a hunch, but I truly believe Rojo is still pretty active in the background. and Van Vijk will happen if Rojo doesn't, but I'm 90% certain Rojo will happen. That's my take on it.

Without knowing much more about either player, right now I'd call Virgil please over Rojo. He's Dutch (Koeman link), knows Forster well and I believe would settle quicker and smoother. The other is a South American, so may have language, temperament issues and potentially more likely to get unsettled.
