I don't see how a transfer request makes any difference. "thanks for your request Virgil. The answer is still no. How's the ankle by the way?"
If we now sell him to the bin dippers, it will truly look like a farce and our board would look pretty ridiculous given the stink they've kicked up. |Maybe next summer when things have died down, if it's Liverpool he really wants to go to.
For the life of me, i can't understand why you would choose them over the likes of Chelsea...if indeed they are interested. Lallana et al didn't have any other suitors, so you can understand it. But VVD?! I went to Uni up there, and that was enough for me.
