WITH Liverpool’s move for Virgil van Dijk continuing to gather pace, Neil Atkinson and Josh Sexton were joined by Brian Gilmour from the Celtic Underground to discuss the Dutchman.
How did van Dijk cope at a big club with big expectations? How did he fare in the Champions League? Those questions and more are answered here.
Well apparently we have apologized to the Saints and now have no interest in VVD, so either this is a ploy that Saints wanted to make the xfer happen or we all got excited for nothing.
Liverpool have ended their interest in signing VVD due to the tapping up accusations, truth is we were probably never going to pay up to or over £60m for a player.
We’ve talked the talk and shown all the signs of interest and the worst thing possible is that the player fancied the move. Cue coughing up to a possible tapping up of a player, pull out of deal and move on to low balling for our back up centre back (£17m when Lazio want £30m for De Vries).
Couldn’t make it up, straight out of the Ayre hand book. Load of old shite, expect to see Salah deal go west when Roma stick to £35m.
We certainly don’t appear to know how to conduct our transfer business. So now Roma want too much for Salah and so we look at our next choice whose club appear to want more than Roma want for Salah. You couldn’t make this shit up. Laughable
Might it have something to do with the fact that we recently received a ban from signing youngsters after transfer irregularities ? Could that be escalated if we are found guilty of tapping up ?
Or that we think he is not worth the £75m Southampton are allegedly asking for?
Harrummpphh, had saved this to listen to on my way to work tomorrow. Hopefully there will be some fume-laden content to tune in to instead. Need something to help reduce the Gutmann-esque levels of disappointment that I am currently experiencing.
Looks like the Salah deal is off now too. After Sessegnon and VVD only Keita left of our first choices. Laughable.
One whole show on a player we haven’t signed is a bit rich, two is the wrap becoming part of the problem.
What problem? Fans get excited about a potential new signing. We speak to people about the potential new signing. And people like it. Also, two ‘whole shows’. The one you’re commenting on was 15 minutes long.
