Is he going to hand a transfer request in? I'm led to believe that's the only way it will happen!
I've no idea, but he ruled himself out of the early preseason games, Pellegrino offered him an olive branch to be reintroduced to the squad and play a part in the remaining preseason games, again he ruled himself out, now if he rules himself unavailable for their season opening game, he'll be sold imo, may take a transfer request, it may not.
£60/£70m to reinvest in your squad or a player who's refusing to play for you during your league campaign ?
Southampton maybe stubborn, maybe even hoped VVD would come round and be open to staying, but if VVD continues to dig his heels in, I don't they'll be stupid in detriment to their own season/aspirations.
