Virgiling on the vandijkulous

Forums Unread posts
Nah bro, shit will happen over the next week. I think we will land at least Salah and maybe Virg too. If we don't get vvd, at least we're not risking £60 mill on a recently seriously injured player.
 
As if Southampton give the slightest fuck about us 'tapping up' big Virge. They're still doing fucking cartwheels at the prospect of securing 50M notes for a centre back.

This 'report to the premier league' shite is just to appease the fans. Pure Everton move.

Express reporting that Puel has been sacked.

And the club’s officials have also reported Liverpool to the Premier League over their pursuit of £60million-rated Dutch International defender Virgil van Dijk.
Frenchman Puel is in the process of negotiating a pay-off over the remaining two years of his contract.
The Saints hierarchy have spent the past fortnight deliberating over Puel’s future following unrest from supporters and fallings-out with several senior players.

Vice-chairman of football Les Reed, who has led the inquest, was hoping Puel would save the club from forking out an expensive severance package by returning to his homeland with St Etienne.
But after holding talks with the Ligue 1 side, Puel decided he was not interested in the job.

The former Lille and Nice coach only took charge at St Mary’s last summer when Ronald Koeman quit for Everton.
Saints finished eighth in the Premier League and were unlucky to lose to Manchester United in the EFL Cup final at Wembley.
But Puel’s negative tactics made him unpopular with the majority of fans and his constant tinkering also alienated players including Republic of Ireland striker Shane Long and Serbian Dusan Tadic.
Reed began searching for Puel’s successor even before the season had finished.
Marco Silva was sounded out but opted to join Watford rather than wait for Saints to make their final decision on Puel.

Former Borussia Dortmund chief Thomas Tuchel is Saints’ dream target but would need convincing to make what would be seen as a step down from leading the German giants.
Tuchel’s fellow countryman and ex-Bayer Leverkusen manager Roger Schmidt is another contender to replace Puel, with Saints keen on making a swift appointment.
Saints, meanwhile, have responded to widespread reports that emerged this week that Van Dijk has indicated that he wants to join Jurgen Klopp’s club this summer.

If they want a manager to not piss players off I don't think Tuchel would be my choice. He seems pretty cranky.
 
Southampton are set to demand £75m for defender Virgil Van Dijk this summer, having been angered by Liverpool.
The South Coast club have lodged a complaint to the Premier League after a raft of stories claiming that Van Dijk met with Jurgen Klopp to discuss a move to Liverpool.
They feel as though he has been ‘tapped up’ without their permission, which is against Premier League regulations.

The Liverpool Echo are now reporting that this has caused Southampton to up their price tag on Van Dijk to £75m, with £60m having been previously touted.

The report claims that Southampton are prepared to wait until Van Dijk forces their hand, as they feel he should stay at the club for another season for the loyalty shown by the club.

Van Dijk was handed a six-year contract last summer and made captain of the side in January after Jose Fonte was sold to West Ham.

Which reminds me....

In the first major transfer deal of the Summer, Liverpool have completed the signing of Southampton for a fee believed to be in the region of £450m.

Speaking at a press conference earlier today, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp confirmed that the deal will be formalised on July 1st when the transfer window opens.
He added: ‘We sent scouts to a number of Southampton games last season, and we were impressed with a number of different elements of the club – therefore we decided that the time was right to make a move.’

‘Virgil Van Dijk aside, their tea lady Doris is one of the best in the game. She knocks the shite out of a cup of Typhoo and nobody arranges custard creams on an eight-inch dish like her.’

We are also interested in a number of players and coaching staff, and so we knew that it made perfect sense to just take the whole lot wholesale.’

‘Also, with no Premier League title to speak of, we figured that it would be easier to win it with two teams instead of one.’

‘Bolting St Mary’s onto the top of Anfield will give us the biggest stadium in the league – imagine how You’ll Never Walk Alone will sound while having to duck to miss EasyJet flights on approach to John Lennon Airport.’

LFC fan Giles Smith said: ‘This is fantastic news for the club. Surely this year will be our year, or maybe next year.’


In a late development, it emerged that Arsenal narrowly missed out after Liverpool topped their bid of £449,999,999.01.

Much like the other strikers we've had from there, I wonder where we're at if he hands in a transfer request and has a strop and refuses to play? He'll lose out on the loyalty bonus which we'll probably have to pony up in his signing on fee, but I wonder where the fee would actually get to? It's shit that players have all the power, but we all know that when clubs say 'blah blah blah they're under contract' it doesn't mean shit - if enough money comes in and the player refuses to play, they always give in and the players always get their way. I don't think any club has ever put a 50-100k a week player in the reserves for 5yrs.

Skully's intent on getting his money's worth out of his thread title. Got to give him credit there.

Liverpool FC statement

Liverpool Football Club would like to put on record our regret over recent media speculation regarding Southampton Football Club and player transfers between the two clubs.
We apologise to the owner, board of directors and fans of Southampton for any misunderstanding regarding Virgil van Dijk.
We respect Southampton's position and can confirm we have ended any interest in the player.
 
I am happy we are walking away from spending 55-60 m on him but we have ended up looking like amateurs here.

Whomever took the decision to brief the media that VVD prefers us due to Klopp should be fired on the spot.
 
Absolutely embarrassing. Moreover, everyone now knows we've got a shit load of money to spend on a much needed centre back.

Burnley must be waving a Michael Keane flag at us.
