So what happens if VVD hands in a transfer request? Can we still sign him

Quite possibly, who knows?

I'd like to think that if we're that put out then we'd refuse to do business with you but doubt it.

Expect the price has gone up a lot.
 
Have a feeling Mourinho might just bid. He has a knack of signing players he doesn't need just to prevent them from joining rivals

That would really rub the salt in <whistle>

Would be a class partnership alongside Bailly.

Head hunting goes on in big business all the time, but if Klopp broke the rules he won't do it again.

Of course it does, like I say we felt you overstepped the mark.

Good to see us show a bit of backbone tbh.
 
And he probably will.

Just not sure it will be to you now.

Only your manager to blame <ok>
I was only taking the piss before, but seriously - isn't there a possibility you've shot yourselves in the foot here? You might now lose him for a lot less than we were (stupidly, imo) prepared to cough up.
Time will tell, but sometimes you have to grab it when it's going.

Personally, like I said above, I'm glad to see us show a bit of backbone in a position where we've tended to look a bit soft in recent years. I think we should make him stay anither year too but can't see that.

Not sure you would pay all that much more than City. Remember we hadn't had any contact from you up until today...

He may still end up at you, we'll just have to wait and see.
 
Imo klopp will be on the blower to his mate warning him off you lot now.

I think that was a pipe dream anyway tbh. Will have much bigger/better offers I imagine.

Reckon Schmidt might be achievable though.

Like I said earlier it will be interesting to see how thus effects relations between the clubs.
 
BOOM

John Henry power play

Called Southampton's bluff

They acted the child running to teacher to snitch that a bigger boy said a naughty word

Now their attempted bidding war is stone cold dead and they're more isolated in the market than Qatar

Van Dijk has deleted Southampton from his social media accounts

I think it means we will actually beat you next season - clearly giving you points has been a big part of all the deals up to now <laugh>
