You would of liked Vvd though Bobby? Do you rate him?

Yeah he is brilliant. I would like him but i'm not sure i would pay more than 50+, even then i shudder when i see that transfer fee on a defender.

It depends on Contes system and it would mean the end for Cahill who i have a lot of time for but deep down know he's not good enough for a top class team.

For us though we also have a lot of defenders coming through in Ake and Christensen so by buying VVD it would effectively mean they have no place in the team.

I would prefer us to get a really really powerful CM and a new striker as well as a new LWB and RWB.

Moses and Alonso are very good but you saw against Arsenal and Spurs when they are not the best fullbacks and against better ones, they are easily nullified.

Mane was laughable at times when he first joined you, complete chicken with no head. His improvement is remarkable, I agree that you couldn't see it coming.

Oh I certainly could.

There's probably posts on this thread from me from last year telling everyone moaning about the price that he's a class act.
 
Virgil?

I'd struggle to argue with you tbh mate.

I can see him at one of the big boys in Spain in a couple of years.

He really is that good... when you see him every week you'll understand, espescially those who watch him live.

He had Mane and a couple other Liverpool players in his pocket earlier in the season. Only seen highlights of him otherwise, so not sure ho great he his.

Virgil van Dijk has decided he wants a summer move to Liverpool ahead of Chelsea and Manchester City.

The Dutch centre-back has been mulling over numerous lucrative options since the end of the season, and has picked Anfield as his favoured destination should Southampton agree to sell him.

However, a deal is far from close despite Van Dijk's hopes and intentions.

Fantastic WUM article, probably too subtle for most to notice:

"The defender has been Jurgen Klopp’s main transfer priority this summer, but he knows the competition from Liverpool’s rivals is significant. Chelsea were especially interested and in recent days Manchester City were thought to have gained the upper hand because of their financial power. Arsenal are also interested."

<laugh> <cheers>

He seems to have everything in his locker. Struggling to think of a flaw in his game.

Yeah, £50m is a huge sum and we are smashing our transfer record. Plus wages of course.
But Klopp has identified vD as the CB he wants to pair up with Matip and it seems vD wants to come to Liverpool. Exciting times for us.
 
Quite a few 'in the knows' saying VVD is pretty much done now (Not random Twitter nobs, but people who've been correct and ahead of the press in the past) so maybe Jimmy was right all a long! He better not be Lovren MkII though.

Where does this leave Gomez? Assuming it'll be Van Dijk and Matip starting, Lovren on the bench and Klavan fourth pick with Sakho sold - Lucas and Gomez for the cups?

Gomez will soon replace Klavan as 4th centre back. Gomez is young and improving, Klavan is getting older and slower.
