Wes Tender Posted 27 July, 2017 Share Posted 27 July, 2017 But, like Virgil, they can swap agents after they arrive. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Yes, they can. But we would assess the player's agents at the time of signing. If they are represented by sh*t-stirrers like the Wasserman Group to begin with, at least we will be forewarned to the potential troubles that would ensue if the player really shone. Inevitably we would accept that if a player identified by the black box proved to be a real gem we would then risk losing him, but at least we would be aware of the dubious tactics that the likes of agents like Wasserman would employ right from the start. As you rightly say, he has been very badly advised and that bad advice has to laid at their door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Duckhunter Posted 27 July, 2017 Share Posted 27 July, 2017 (edited) http://anfieldindex.com/28817/coutinho-van-dijk-keita-hypocrisy.html Here's a novelty; an even-handed and sensible Liverpool fan with a degree of humility usually lacking in the species. What a load of pony it's not a novelty at all. Most local Liverpool fans are even handed & sensible. There's certainly more ****ing one eyed idiots in Southampton than there are in Liverpool.

To me as soon as Coutinho comes on Liverpool come alive and his bright brain creates chances, as well as his wonderful goals. I don't know why I'm justifying him, as Barcelona offering 80m should tell you enough. Liverpool will lose their stand out player and also it shows the fans our hurt as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window Cleaner Posted 27 July, 2017 Share Posted 27 July, 2017 I'd actually argue that Mane is more important to them than Coutinho. Mané on form, they've bought Salah, Henderson might stay fit for the entire season you never know. Still think they'll be getting a lot of money for a player who can be replaced in the case of Coutinho. Firminho isn't really playing his true role there either.

Chez Posted 27 July, 2017 Share Posted 27 July, 2017 Albeit it won't help, I quite enjoyed Adkins' comments, telling VVD to show some respect. Spot on. But as I say, won't make a blind bit of difference... I'm not one that calls for ex players to come back and coach etc, but with his experience at all levels and in different departments, Adkins doesn't half strike as someone suitable for a role on our football board, should there ever be a space available. Maybe Les wouldn't fancy it, but he comes across as very pragmatic and is certainly a very good ambassador for Saints. I couldn't stand his press conferences, but remove him from that pre and post match spotlight and he speaks a fair bit of sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rooney Posted 27 July, 2017 Share Posted 27 July, 2017 Absolutely. The club wouldn't have offered him a lucrative contract extension just a year ago if they really believed he would then demand a move a few months later (January I understand this all started). If they thought this was still a possibility after the new terms were agreed they wouldn't have bothered and saved themselves a small fortune in 12 months of vastly increased wages for the ungrateful fella (6 months of which he hasn't even played). Van Dijk happily took the money, the commitment and the responsibility of captain (a fine example that's turned out) - the player and his agent are the only villains here, imo. https://southamptonfc.com/news/2016-05-07/van-dijk-signs-new-six-year-contract-with-saints He also used the services of our medical and physio teams to get himself back in shape.
