    Yep this is our first cb target. Hopefully Celtic know of their CL fate soon so we can hopefully get it done.

    A signing from Celtic is an annual occurrence.

    Surely if Liverpool become Liverhampton, the we become Southeltic, or Southamptic.
    Though if Liverhampton start buying our ex-Celtic players, they will be Tic Pool,

    Southenoord is surely a paradox?

    They have just bagged Cifci for £1.5 million. A steal IMHO would have made a great option in a Saints Squad.

    Keeping in mind out transfer budget (whatever that might be - but have read somewhere [unconfirmed] the fees we got for Clyne and Morgan were the seasons budget) and our salary cap - I presume we are restricted to whom we can attract. Clearly Virgil is one player and I have read another raid on Feyenoord is possible, who else do you guys realistically think could be in the mix?

    Personally I think van Dijk is who we will go in for and get. He ticks all the boxes

    I reckon it will be around £45-50m spent in all this window.

    We have spent about £20m so far. VvD would probably cost around £8m according to the papers, so you reckon another £17m-£22m on a marquee player?

    Juanmi £5m
    Martina £1m
    Clasie £8m
    Cedric £4.8m (make it £5m to round it off)
    Dijk I think will cost more then £8m. I think he will go for around £10m

    Then hopefully Praet for around £10m.
    So around £40m +

    Obviously if we get them cheaper I am not going to argue.

    Love the way the Saint Jordy thread has been tossed aside like an old rag and we've moved onto Saint Virgil in less than 24 hours :)

    Having seen the videos and the way VVD can bring the ball out from defence, it wouldn't surprise me if RK also sees him as back up for defensive midfield, should injuries and/or suspensions hamper team selection.

    Don't think it will be done by then.

    Here's a vid. There's a more recent one but it's boring. By the looks of this he's the only person in Scotland capable of defending:
