    No, that was the Saint Gaston! thread, with left-handed Roberto and nipple sweat. (If you know, you know...)

    Famous for the spot where Victor Meldrew got run over

    Sounds like Saints will have a deadline day signing after all

    Victor Meldrew came to a sticky end there! Ooops too slow yet again, I don't believe it.

    Answers on the back of a postcard.

    I can't believe anyone thinks we're going into the final 18~ hours of a transfer window having pursued VVD for the best part of a year without actually agreeing a fee yet. Despite that, he's left Glasgow, hasn't been at training and has undertaken a medical.

    But no, no fee agreed.

    Sky kept reporting that a fee was yet to be agreed, therefore suggesting it wouldnt be completed today. People on here seemed to think that was bullshit but perhaps the fact it hasn't been confirmed tonight suggests it isn't as close to being done as many on here have suggested.

    You wait.! I can just read the blurb right now.

    Adam Blackmore [AB] The transfer appears to have taken some time. Did you have any other offers to consider.?
    Virgil VanDijk [VVD] No, when I heard Southampton were interested in me it was hard not to stay away.
    AB: But leaving Celtic must have been a hard thing for you
    VVD: Yes, and I shall be forever grateful to them for giving me the chance to improve myself, but as soon as I knew Ronald Koeman and Southampton wanted me it was just a matter of making the move at the right time.
    AB: And obviously it took a little while to get the terms sorted out.
    VVD: No, not really. It was all done very quickly.


    :rolleyes:

    You may well be right, it is only a matter of time but just the fact it's dragged out to the last day could suggest it's hasn't been as close as people have said. Although saying that I could be confirmed 11 am tomorrow! None of us know for sure, merely speculation.

    DTLW would know. I was told as well that Dijk was in Southampton late last night. Sky very rarely are up to date with what is going on these days. As has been said in this thread, their Sky Sources is mainly info taking from journo's tweets on Twitter.

    Maybe the people from Eterna watches don't work on bank holidays?

    Did the new GK get one?

    I would have thought Sky had many contacts and leads so it surprises me that they just use journalists twitter feed. Although at times it is strikingly obvious I suppose.
