This. It is absolutely scandalous the way the club is behaving on this issue. How on earth we have managed to climb from -10pts in L1 to 7th in the Prem and Europe in six seasons I don't know.

Saint Charlie Posted 10 August, 2015 Share Posted 10 August, 2015 I think he will be in the squad for the game on Sat Why? Surely they won't sell their best player until they have guarenteed the riches of the Champions League, or have been knocked out. No reason for them to bother selling before those two massive games. Presumably that is why he is still there now. By that time (Aug 26th) Everton will possibly have lost Stones, other teams may have had injuries or lost other good CBs so its a risky game unless we are very sure the deal can be done.

FloridaMarlin Posted 10 August, 2015 Share Posted 10 August, 2015 Lets move on to other targets and get our defence settled. This pussy-footing and p*ssing about could still very well lead to nothing. I think this is a fair point. You could find another way of expressing it, but I think Alps' view is justified, and I'm pretty sure - not that it will allay his fears - that this will be the club's attitude. There might be a couple of weeks left until the window closes, but I don't think they will hang around too long for van Dyke or Celtic. I'd like to think they have other targets they can move on to quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be the forum champion of making up bull****, because I said no such thing. Under Cortese it did look like the club was considering ground improvements, with him commissioning designs from an architect firm to expand and develop St Mary's. As Cortese has now left things have changed and we are now more aware that the situation between Liebherr and Cortese possibly wouldn't have resulted in the funding for such a project.

ADutchSaint Posted 10 August, 2015 Share Posted 10 August, 2015 If the club can reach a agreement with Celtic then Virgil is going to Southampton a 100%. Money isnt really a big factor for him, he had better offers before he went to Celtic but he wanted to make sure he would be playing every week. And im sure he still wants the guarantee, as far as that is possible in football, that he will be playing weekly. Virgil wants to break into the Dutch national team, thats his dream, and for that he needs to play every week on a high level. Plus Ronald and Erwin Koeman know pretty much everything about Virgil cause their father Martin was one of the scouts that brought him to Groningen and with Tadic and Forster he has 2 old teammates in the current squad. As long as the club really wants him, its pretty much written in the stars that he will come to Southampton and i have no doubt in my mind that he's going to be a world class defender in a few years. I've been following Virgil for years now and that kid has everything you want. He only has one flaw, he gets sloppy/lazy and starts to slack when he senses he doesn't has to give a 100% on the pitch. Its what cost him a transfer to the top clubs in Holland (shame cause otherwise he probably would have 10+ caps for Holland already at this point). He's just one of those guys that needs a challenge and who needs to be pushed from time to time. And haven't seen this come up yet here but since people love compilations, here's some Champions League highlights from him: https://vimeo.com/87620747 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulrich van Gobbel Posted 10 August, 2015 Share Posted 10 August, 2015 The odds have drifted from 6/4 to 2/1 for VVD to sign if anyone wants to get on.

The other stand out feature is his physicality. He looks a fine athlete and powerful often brushing attackers off much like one would swat a fly with totally abandonment.
