    If it’s vocal you want, then you will looooove Redmond.
    He’s constantly yacking away. Never stops talking.
    Mind you I wouldn’t trust him to organise a raffle let alone anything to do with football.

    I see he has managed to force one side of his face into a smile, probably had to think hard about the £180k/week to do that.
    The other half is him wondering why City ****ed him off.

    Never having been on here since the summer (when he thought they would get him), Astro seems to think you have all had a change of opinion since the transfer was announced <laugh>

    Foolish boy.

    We need that relationship as much as you. We’ve got to get at least another 4 sold to you to make it a team.

    It was his Southampton photo, letting them know he's here for half the season

    The media must be very confident in Southampton's success, because I have seen no mention of how losing one of our best players will affect us. I'm pretty sure this would be discussed ad nauseum if one of the top 6 lost such an important player. They must think we can cope well. #sarcasmmode

    VVD is unlikely to effect our results negatively as he has hardly played in 2017. Hopefully not having his big sulky ass about the training ground might help raise morale

    Can’t wait for him to have a strop at Anfield because they will block his dream move to Barcelona.

    Not so much any more. VVD has lost everything that made him special since he came back. Which means the passing, joining the attack, being able to beat a defender or two with the ball, and beyond those skills just the extra energy level on the pitch.

    I know why Klopp was willing to pay the price. Liverpool need help and VVD is potentially the best CB in the world. But beyond that, he is perfect for Klopp’s system. Prior to the injury, I would have said it’s worth throwing in a little extra.

    It’s not like VVD is **** now. He still has skills, and he is still intelligent despite a tendency to lose concentration now and again. He will improve their line. But any decent 25m CB could have done that. And if VVD just wants to come in and perform his basic role as a CB then that’s all he is. They are paying for a CB who is much more than a CB.

    Maybe it is just VVD doesn’t know the new system. Maybe MP is just a bad manager. Maybe it is just VVD’s attitude. But maybe it’s the injury. Or maybe VVD hasn’t just soured on Saints, but football in general. I don’t know. I would not have paid 75m for him at this point, so I’m more than pleased Liverpool bailed us out of a tough situation.
