scotty Posted 16 August, 2015 Share Posted 16 August, 2015 Not sure I agree. Humanity denied vs value judgement of flawed humanity. The language of genocide often seeks to dehumanise the victim (e.g. "vermin") just like you're doing with "it". I'm not saying this makes you as bad as Hitler. I'd need to know a little more about you to make that assessment. ...and Godwin finally makes his debut on the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkish Posted 16 August, 2015 Share Posted 16 August, 2015 Obviously the issue is not the fee. I think we should just offer them £25m and be done with it, we can have him NOW NOW NOW then instead of having to wait two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 16 August, 2015 Share Posted 16 August, 2015 My opinion is that this is done. Terms are agreed with Celtic, the player and he's passed his medical. We're are just waiting for another week or so before it can happen. It seems there are seemingly no other active links with other clubs because they know it's done with us.

We're are just waiting for another week or so before it can happen. It seems there are seemingly no other active links with other clubs because they know it's done with us. This would be a very risky approach as VVD could get injured at any minute leaving us to need to properly "panic buy". Either Celtic have agreed to sell when other terms have agreed with the player and he signs when we want him to or they have not been agreed and we are already considering other choices such as the Napoli CB in case of injury to VVD and or agreement not reached.

The Cat Posted 16 August, 2015 Share Posted 16 August, 2015 Maybe the club will run some kind of competition after he's signed and she's settled in the area. Porn star or not, I'd quite happily settle in her area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets hope we've still got that to offer him by the time Celtic's fate in the CL is known. My opinion is that this is done. Terms are agreed with Celtic, the player and he's passed his medical.

Brave Sir Robin Posted 16 August, 2015 Share Posted 16 August, 2015 The only actual fact I've seen so far is that we've had a bid turned down. I wouldn't be suprised if it goes to deadline day, and we probably won't be the only club bidding by then. Until I see anything more concrete, I'm still regarding this as a long shot.

Right at the end they started speculating about players and john O shea's name came up . The guy said I've heard Everton are interested in him if Stones goes , he then said VVD would be a great buy for them but " everybody knows he's off to Southampton" . I know it's just one bloke , but he said in a real convincing matter of fact way.

Saint Charlie Posted 19 August, 2015 Share Posted 19 August, 2015 If we replace Toby with a player from Brentford this place will implode!! True. I remember Everton fans being bad with Moyes on Twitter when he spunked £3m on John Stones from bloody Barnsley. More important how good the player is than where they come from, but clearly Van Dijk is our main target anyway. Hopefully Celtic lose tonight.

saintadam Posted 19 August, 2015 Share Posted 19 August, 2015 Celtic Scout David Moss says VVD is set to be sold. "In recent seasons we have done well working to this strategy with Fraser Forster, Victor Wanyama and Gary Hooper selling for £10m, £12m and £6m respectively.

captainchris Posted 19 August, 2015 Share Posted 19 August, 2015 I would venture to suggest that as we seem to think we are still well short of quality we are playing a very strange open form of football with too many attacking players and no midfield. If we are in such dire need why are we not thinking very hard about team selection and tactics which enable us to be tighter as a team! My concern at the moment is management/coaching decisions which are wide of the mark.... We are not employing a possession strategy with wide open spaces and no cover for the full backs? This is a much higher priority than new players; though yes some are not good enough... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
