Virgil van Dijk Player Thread (D)

Tell ye what a back 4 of Gomez, Matip, VVD, Robertson doesn’t look half bad on paper. Get a good keeper in behind that and we could be on our way to the best defence we’ve had in 10 years.

Would be better signing the Celtic scout Rodgers new club receive 7.5 million of this fee our clubs scout not doing their job right,Foster our next signing from Southampton via Celtic?s

Defense problems?

Pffft.

Welcome Virgil, your forehead will be welcome, everyone else is chipping in so you may as well join in fella.

He will weigh in with goals mate, no fear.

Can’t register till the 2nd mate so the Bitters get it first

Yes re Porto.

Cheers Scotia

VVD should be taking penalties and free kicks. He's good at set pieces.

 

Anybody else feel weird with that proverbial monkey of a transfer off our back.....?

The summer f**k up kinda felt like it’s been wearing on everyone and every setback (in a not half bad season so far) has been magnified as a consequence.......

Similar with “nearly” getting Lemar........that made everything feel so easy to covet but just outta reach 

Nah don’t think he can be registered until the 2nd. Don’t think Klopp would chuck him in there anyway - not his style. I’d say he will be given a few weeks of training with the squad before he starts.

I would play him against Everton.

Imagine if in the summer we had signed VvD, Ketia and Lamar, oooooooh

I would play him against Everton.

Hopefully he won't be needed there

I would play him against Everton.

So would I but it’s not our decision.

VVD easy as 123... Anyone?..

No?..

Was sitting at the pub when it flashed across the screen. Very pleased it's happened! Finally a CB who can help take us to the next level.

Seems a lot £75 Million. Many reckon Pogba wasnt worth £90 Million in todays market  and they were wrong.  Time will tell. 

Might just be when I've been watching, but he's never looked a £90m player when I've watched him.

Any way, welcome to the club Virgil, anyone go an idea when we'll get our first dose of VD?

Welcome Virgil.

Good to get our target. Statement of intent and all that.

Not sure where he will fit in though. Strength in depth perhaps..

Against Everton apparently as he can be registered on the 2nd.

Not massively bothered about the fee.  Football's gone crazy. The fact we spent £35M+ on Oxlade-Chamberlain, when we could have signed him on a free in a couple of days time makes you realise that it's like monopoly money.

Only disappointing aspect to all this, if you could call it that, is that we didn't get him sooner.  He's only 2 years younger than Lovren, who we have had for 4 years.

A lot of people on FB and Twitter moaning about the price tag. I don't understand what they're complaining about, Jürgen very clearly wants him, (and bear in mind this is a man who I'd not known for spending big) so it shows just how much he believes in him.

We're finally addressing our major problems.

Nailed a nice free kick in training. Video is online somewhere, was a nice hit but I don’t think Coutinho will be stepping aside from them anytime soon.

Great News...Would have been better had we been able to say we paid £50 mil and Lovren 

Superb signing by FSG, the skinflints!  :-)

Now can we get a new goalie as well please.

Don't want to sh*t in anybody's kettle but i don't think we'll see Virgil until he's klopp ready for his debut,
He's not had the best of seasons thus far, he'll be out of condition, overweight and obviously not familiar with the way we play, it could be a month before we see him,
Hope I'm wrong but we need to be cautious, last thing we want is for him to get crocked, so lets get him fit & healthy and Klopp is happy to release the beast!

I think your spot on...much like Robinson and Ox he's not just going to throw him in the fire...expect training for a few weeks, then some cameo roles before he ever starts a match (barring of course because of injury to one of the other CB's)
