Virgin Van Dijk has handed in a transfer request. Are we actually going to go in again now eds? Sorry for the repeated question but hopefully this changes something.

{Ed001's Note - that is up to Saints. They have to accept the request first.}

If the request gets accepted then will that mean he is open to talk to all teams. Including us?

{Ed002's Note - No, it doesn't mean anything of the sort.}

Changes nothing really does it. doesn't mean Saints will deal with us and they have to accept it first, and it brings Ars n Che into play.

{Ed002's Note - And Manchester City potentially.}

In his statement he mentions he wasn't happy that Saints turned down offers from numerous clubs. Is this him Boxing clever and keeping LFC's name out of it or is it an open invite from him for other clubs.

If I banged my head against the wall everytime Van Dijk was mentioned (which I've considered doing each time it's brought up) than I wouldn't have any brain cells left. I hope this saga gets cleared up soon. I can't wait to stop talking about VVD.

Lets not get to excited chaps. As explained, all the top prem teams will be in for him, And we still have that club statement in place withdrawing interest in the player! I fail to see why everyone is happy all of a sudden.

Yes it doesn't mean that they will accept offers with us. Southampton may refuse to deal with LFC however, it will now be interesting to see how serious LFC are and whether they will actually bid the type of money that has been talked about 70mill etc.

If we don't get him after all the fuss that we've created to unsettle the player, we're going to get trolled hard by the team who will eventually sign him. We'll end up doing the dirty business for our rivals and making it easy for them. That being said, hopefully Southampton will consider doing business with us and hopefully VVD is still interested to sign for us as I feel we need him more than our rivals. Sure hope he'll make the right decision.

We need to offer the full 75 million or whatever they are asking and get the deal done! Fingers crossed.

I wonder how these things work, because I ain't got an igloo. So vvd hands in transfer request let's say for arguments sake saints accept it, do they contact the club's who have made an enquiry and say "right we have accepted a transfer request in behalf if vvd and our price is £xxx amount" would vvd agent advisors contact the club's who have enquired and say "saints have accepted a transfer request and informed us the price is this much" or is there such a thing as a transfer list that clubs look at and see who is available?

{Ed002's Note - No it is nothing like that.}

Didn't Klopp say this morning we don't need another centre half. Will we even bid for him.

Im sorry I just don't see what all the fuss is about VVD he is the Dutch version of lovren he is just as rash the only two things he has on lovren is he plays better with the ball on ground and he is quicker if we do get him I can see him doing the exact same mistakes lunging in etc.

Of course it is good news. They will surely except tr. As not doing so cannot be good for their reputation. It is finally a bit of give in one of our top target sagas this summer. The pundits seem to think it's lfc he is going to join, never doubted it for a minute. this is the first crack in the dam, can't wait for it crumble. Still think we will sign the midfielder who gives you wings as well. Keep coutinio, win league. Even more unusual.

Sorry ed002, I didn't wanna cause any inconvenience as I said I ain't got a clue how it works. Was just a little curios how the underbelly of footy transfers work.

All very underhand. If what's has been said is true then even if other clubs come on for him and Southampton refuse to deal with us then VVD may refuse to move to them. Very underhand and not great if it happens, but I would like him to come to us. Shame it's come to this needlessly.
