I'd take him in a heartbeat. In a midfield 3 with 1 holding and 2 just in front, he'd be perfect imo. He struggles to get starts at Chelsea as they play with 2 out and out DM's and he's not a No.10 imo, he's more a traditional No.8.

You'd take anyone under the age of 36
 
Agree but you need to build a midfield around him and get 2 players to Donte hard work defensively around him. Don't see Klopp doing that. In our team everyone has to be able to be responsible and you'd have to carry fabregas slightly.

Slightly disagree, you don't necessarily need 2 people doing the hard work for him as he 'runs' around a lot (see his distance per game). Its that if theres any space in between, or if you had a prime yaya toure/coutinho in midfield he will get skinned in his position so you need strong players around him who can cover for him.

In the big matches he is a big plus in ball retention but a massive negative ala ozil because he cannot defend or play at a high pace which i think Jurgen requires.
 
How likely do you think it is that we could sign VVD?

I don't think it's all that likely really.

I personally think that he's destined for bigger things (no offence) than your lot. I also don't see FSG breaking your transfer record on a cb, they don't seem to spend a lot without sales do they? And don't see you selling anyone big this year.

For me City would be the best move*. Would be a great calming influence alongside Stones and that could be a partnership that develops for years imo. If I was Pep I'd be telling the board to do whatever it takes to get him there.

All of that said, I can simply never say never when it comes to you buying our players <laugh>

I never thought Mane would go to a non CL team tbh...

We are the MIGHTY REDS <ok>
 
Southampton defender Virgil van Dijk has agreed to join Liverpool this summer if the club can secure Champions League football.

We have been informed by two sources with knowledge of the situation that the Dutch international has verbally agreed to make the move to Merseyside if the Reds can secure a place in the top four and has already spoken with manager Jurgen Klopp about the role he’d have and the vision of the club going forwards.

yeah thats true he's got as much legs as lucas but he's not a DM... never will be. he was used their by mourinho beside matic in a 4231 to good effect so if thats klopp's plan if real fine ok... whos the guy beside him then?

TBH at 25mil... yeah.. you have to don't you.

he's worth that for 3 years

Agreed, he'd work well next to a ball winner

I take no offense at that. He is that good he could fit in at any cl qf side.

Imo 35mil is not all that much these days so... well get 30 for sakho and shovel 50 at you.

As you say however I would give us no more than 20% chance if other really big clubs are in.

Wouldn't that be tapping the player up?
