Jonnoquick Posted 31 August, 2017 Posted 31 August, 2017 Apparently thrown a strop this morning and although he is at Staplewood, he isn't actually training. Source has said although in the past couple of days it looked as though he was 100% off, he is now fully expecting him to stay. Still expecting a late bid from Liverpool but unless it's well above what's anticipated, we wont be selling. New player is an attacker. No been told who, but apparently he will be "around the first team, high potential".

Jonnoquick Posted 31 August, 2017 Posted 31 August, 2017 Backtracking now? Slightly...! Just passing on what I'm told though. Will certainly know later on when/(if...!) the new player is a done deal before its announced.
St Chalet Posted 31 August, 2017 Posted 31 August, 2017 VVD is 1.4 to stay with us, put into context I got on Mayweather at 1.25 Bookies suggest he's twice as likely to stay as he is to go.
Wimborne_saint Posted 31 August, 2017 Posted 31 August, 2017 Slightly...! Just passing on what I'm told though. Will certainly know later on when/(if...!) the new player is a done deal before its announced. No worries only messing! You know if the player is high profile or another 'black box' type?

Yea, 1/2 on Betfair to stay with us. I bet about once a year, but if we trust the club then surely I can turn £500 into £1000, right?
Saint_Jonny Posted 31 August, 2017 Posted 31 August, 2017 Wait...I would get £750 back wouldn't I. I did say I don't bet often!
Roo1976 Posted 31 August, 2017 Posted 31 August, 2017 No worries only messing! You know if the player is high profile or another 'black box' type? hes only got one post left as a reg user like myself............hardly likely to waste it on your enquierry is he now.
pimpin4rizeal Posted 31 August, 2017 Posted 31 August, 2017 I'd be happy if it is. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk meh on vietto from me. his goal record isnt that great for a forward and doesnt look anywhere near as good as gabbiadini or as good as boufal before we signed him if we are thinking of playing him elsewhere.. looks more a juanmi type to me

FloridaMarlin Posted 31 August, 2017 Posted 31 August, 2017 Thought he had gone on holiday for 4 days, oh well guess he couldn't afford the flights Apparently there's always a free one to Blackpool available to him.
St Chalet Posted 31 August, 2017 Posted 31 August, 2017 Tom28 deleted VVD posts? he's off Nope https://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?57504-Virgil-Transfer-Rumours-Summer-17&p=2533207#post2533207
Surman4no7shirt Posted 31 August, 2017 Posted 31 August, 2017 Le Tiss is winding up the Liverhampton fans on twitter, seems convinced VVD is staying. If anyone was likely to be ITK, I'd say it's him.
saintadam Posted 31 August, 2017 Posted 31 August, 2017 Slightly...! Just passing on what I'm told though. Will certainly know later on when/(if...!) the new player is a done deal before its announced. Pretty poor ITK record, you have 0 % accuracy so far.
darren2 Posted 31 August, 2017 Posted 31 August, 2017 He's a fat skate getting involved in something that doesn't concern him......
Super_Uwe Posted 31 August, 2017 Posted 31 August, 2017 I think VVD will stay. Krueger's media piece a couple of weeks ago was too outright for the club to let him go now. But stranger things have happened... A January or summer 2018 move is a different thing altogether, but I think he will end up having to swallow his pride and "do a Schneiderlin". Then everyone can walk away happy.
Colinjb Posted 31 August, 2017 Posted 31 August, 2017 The state of this.. Just when I wondered why I no longer listen to that drivel....

angelman Posted 31 August, 2017 Posted 31 August, 2017 Quim really should be given the elbow. Worst presenter on that show by far, even before taking into account his lack of objectivity.
St Chalet Posted 31 August, 2017 Posted 31 August, 2017 The state of this.. Replace that as a plea to Liverpool from Barcelona.
Sinned Posted 31 August, 2017 Posted 31 August, 2017 Radio 5 Sports News at 11.30 this morning, on reporting today's moves started by saying that they now knew that VvD would not be leaving Saints during this window.
Colinjb Posted 31 August, 2017 Posted 31 August, 2017 We've got Van Dijk, Virgil Van Dyke, I just don't think they understand......
Pamplemousse Posted 31 August, 2017 Posted 31 August, 2017 So now we have held firm, the question moves onto: will he play for us again?
sotonjoe Posted 31 August, 2017 Posted 31 August, 2017 He is staying I'm told. No acceptable bids are expected today. Be interesting too see how this plays out over the next few weeks and months. Expect one incoming to get over the line today. Happy Transfer deadline day AMAZING. Another 'ITK' announcement after major media outlets report same thing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
suewhistle Posted 31 August, 2017 Posted 31 August, 2017 In the Guardian final transfer day blog by David Hytner: Southampton’s position over Virgil Van Dijk remains unequivocal. He is going nowhere today – not to Liverpool and not to any other top club. Liverpool have been unable to initiate any talks with Southampton in recent weeks, after the warning they got from the Premier League for tapping up Van Dijk earlier in the summer, and Southampton have certainly not gone to them. There has been zero contact between the clubs and that will remain the case today – it has to, in light of the sensitivity over the tapping-up – and it means that there is zero chance of a deal. Southampton remain confident of reintegrating Van Dijk into the team after the window shuts.

Eggy Posted 31 August, 2017 Posted 31 August, 2017 Offer him to Man City or Chelsea at stupid price just to get rid. He'll be sulking with us for the next 4 months till the jan sales again, so better off getting rid imo.
OldNick Posted 31 August, 2017 Posted 31 August, 2017 I see that Ox has now signed for Liverpool. Is the new trend/trick 'I only want to play for Liverpool' that gets the price down for the buyer
Tom28 Posted 31 August, 2017 Posted 31 August, 2017 Composing an email to send to the mods to say what the outcome of today will be so that his ITK credentials can be corroborated and thus sticking two fingers up at the doubters.... #onlyjoshing I don't seem to be able to send PM's. When I click Send new message it says I don't have permission. Any suggestions?
DT Posted 31 August, 2017 Posted 31 August, 2017 I see that Ox has now signed for Liverpool. Is the new trend/trick 'I only want to play for Liverpool' that gets the price down for the buyer Probably, with the player/agent pocketing half the difference. Pretty mucky

If they were interested they'd be putting in at least reasonably serious bids already wouldn't they? Neither of them would seem to want him overmuch. He's toxic and will need to re-prove himself before any club other than Liverpool seriously considers giving us a lot of money to obtain his services.

PapaWaiToGO Posted 31 August, 2017 Posted 31 August, 2017 The idea that VVD would put in sub-par performances for us after the window shuts doesn't really make sense. He needs to play football to continue to put himself in the shop window. If he consistantly plays badly, I would imagine interest in him would significantly die down. If he does decide to sulk on the bench and push for a move in Jan, that will mean nearly a year out of 1st team football - I'm not sure that's in his best interest if he wants a big move.
lickierambert Posted 31 August, 2017 Posted 31 August, 2017 That statement from a few weeks ago is looking as stupid now as it did then. My guess is that we've agreed to sell him next summer, as long as he gets his head down for the next 12 months and apologises to board/manager. This gives us time to identify targets without looking desperate post-sale I won't boo him but I won't look back at his time here as favourably as it could have been. A professional attitude like Mane wouldn't have gone amiss and would have stood him in good stead.
Super_Uwe Posted 31 August, 2017 Posted 31 August, 2017 I don't buy this idea that he'll be having a massive sulk. Yes, he may well have the hump for a few days/weeks if he has to stay, but he'll get over it! What is the alternative? Acting like a complete tool and ruining his career? At the moment he needs to get himself fit and back in the team. It hasn't gone unnoticed that the club has given new deals to Yoshida and Stephens this summer; can't help but feel that a small part of the club's thinking there at least is to give VVD the message that he won't be walking back in without any challenge.

shurlock Posted 31 August, 2017 Posted 31 August, 2017 Highly likely that VVD is staying - question is now whether he goes in Jan or next summer.

Matthew Le God Posted 31 August, 2017 Posted 31 August, 2017 1) Pay a fiver 2) Respond to the email I have just send you to your registered email. I remain puzzled as to what the need for paying for this forum. How many other clubs have their main forum where you have to pay to post more than 3 times per day? This site isn't that busy. Plus, Steve isn't even using particularly good forum software, other club forums have better features.
