    Talking of bikes, here's a song based on Pink Floyd's "Bike", which I have always thought should be used as the basis for a football chant:

    We've got Van Dijk
    You can watch him if you like
    He's quite tall, got lots of hair
    And does things that make him look good.
    We'll sell him to you when we want but we just signed him.
    He's the kind of player that fits in with our world,
    We'll give him anything, everything if he'll stay here.

    Before making songs up about him shouldn't we actually wait until he has signed a contract with us?

    Beddy, there are times when the voice of reason is also the killjoy. :)

    Have a little innocent fun with it before Everton sign him. <whistle>

    Not much inspiration from our friends north of the border.

    To the tune of the "feeling hot hot hot" song

    His odds two days ago were 1/4. They are now 4/11. And I've put a bet on. Should I have done so?

    That's absolutely brilliant Chilco. I sang it in my head using Syd Barrett's voice and it worked pretty much flawlessly first time. :)

    Thanks TSS! On reflection, I'd like to change the fifth line to:

    "You'd buy him off us if you could but we just signed him."

    Then the internal rhyme comes back into play. Dear old Syd.

    Question for those ITK.
    Was VVD signing dependent on European football?

    I'm not ITK, but no. PL way more valuable a prospect than Europa, especially as he came from a once-CL team.

    I would say not.

    VVD will use this as a display club. He knows he'll get lots of minutes on the pitch. If he plays well, he can treble his wages at the next level, if he plays phenomenally he'll be off to a top five club and buying solid gold cars and TVs.

    That is his aim. He doesn't give two monkeys about the facilities, the direction of the club, the players or fans, this is a stepping stone to a world of mega-money and better, classier, porno-stars.
