The Virgil Van Dijk Stays at Southampton Thread

I think the mournful music tells us it is meant to be funny....so I took it as that. It is strange though how Liverpool fans have got so obsessed with Virgil...he can't be the only CB available (or as it turn out not available) or the only type of player they need. They have even laughed at themselves before about their clubs obsession with Southampton players....could it be not the player himself, but the principle of us standing up to them?

 

According to my Man City supporting mate they enquired early on in the window but were put off by the asking price so dropped their interest, I'd imagine this is probably the case with some other of our players. The good position we are in is that we hold all the cards atm with our handful of players who would be wanted by the larger clubs due to the time left on their deals.

 

Do we know if he has left early or is this normal finishing time?

 

Would he really be training with us in the morning if we planned to sell him in the afternoon?...I'm not convinced.

 

Pretty normal I think. Usually see the the saints players around winchester in the late afternoons.

 

That's Van Dijk's car, hence the personalised number plate. Should be "man leaves work to return home in his own car..."

 

I don't think we plan to sell him, but if someone comes in with some mental offer late on then it could change things.

 

Yep, I saw Virgil last Thursday at 2pm in Waitrose, Winchester...

If I see him there today, I'll block his car in!

You're right, it is pathetic. But it's also laughable. Apparently, because we've had a couple of games where we haven't conceded, we don't need VVD. Well we've had a couple of games where we haven't scored. Does that mean that ManC should give us Sergio Agüero.?

Actually, that's not such a bad idea.

 

Haven't Liverpool had 4 games without conceding ?

 

Liverpool fans becoming a parody of themselves this window. I've enjoyed every minute of this VVD speculation.

 

SM, you mean we are not selling him. There's no thinking involved. This is what is confusing SKY Sports News. They don't know what NO means.

Of course, this all starts up again in January.

 

Good point.
Also, didn't Klipp Klopp say he didn't need any more CBs.?

 

Good news is it should all start up again on January 1st

 

Oi, you're late with that observation.

Amazingly, I got in first for once.

 

I think if he stays this window then we have him for the full season, unless of course he refuses to play for us again which I think is unlikely. But yeah next summer will be the time he probably will get his wish if teams are still interested.

Unless of course someone comes in in the next 8 hours or whatever it is and bids some ridiculous amount

 

I wonder what ridiculous is in this context with this timing . I expect there are disagreements over what this would mean

 

They won't. Our price is so ridiculous to other clubs that nobody will go that high. Anything less than £75-80M makes him more precious to us.
Besides, Saints don't even talk about offers or prices. They talk about pairing him and growing him with our other CBs. That's hardly the talk of a club that's concerned with losing him.
