I was on Twitter last night (I know I know, but hear me out)
Apparently Liverpool made a £60million bid for VVD according to this source. (I'd appreciate it if any one else has saw it and can remember his name)

I know Liverpool can't bid officially because of the circus in the summer.
So they have to wait for other parties to get involved to then make an official bid without looking like the bad guy (again)?
So this guy his "leaked" we've made a bid, cause a social media storm to instise City to bid?
But VVD has to wait for us to then bid as he said he only wants us?

I may be clutching at straws and I apologise if this sort if stuff annoys you.
I'm happy either way if we strengthen the keeper. Even if that's the only signing and then wait till the summer with couts in toe, then let me go in the summer and Lamar come in with Kieta.

{Ed002's Note - Plenty of transfers have already been agreed. Liverpool fans tell me about tales of the club already making a dozen or so signings this winter. It is going to be a blast as the side thrusts toward the top of the table in the coming months. It doesn’t annoy me but a quick check of the search engine should give you the answer you want.}

My apologies Ed.
I browsed the Liverpool pages and city pages last night but couldn't find anything suggesting which team he'll most liekly end up. I'll double check. Thanks again. Merry Christmas.

I honestly cannot see him moving in January, City do not need a centre half and can wait to pick whoever impresses at the world cup like Chelsea and Man U. I can see him moving on next summer at a much lower fee with the likes of us, Arsenal or Spurs being interested. Nothing to see here this transfer window.

City will off £60m up front in one go, which Southampton will accept.

Mr Dennis - City will win the EPL this season with or without VVD - the question is what do they need to win the CL? VVD is not the answer IMHO and 60m on him would mean Pep is an idiot which he is not.

They are in the market for a centre half, they are well known to have watched van Dijk and they have the money. We ballsed it up in the summer and when he turns out for them in January we have ourselves to blame. We still need a centre back and it’s important that we don’t waste money on below average players like Gibson, Mee Etc.

We did balls up in the summer an we only have ourselves to blame for that. Unfortunately with the current stupid prices being asking for we will have to pay over the odds for a decent proven centre half an other clubs know we will pay because we are desperate.

I think it is naive of us to think of the current market as containing stupid prices. They haven't just being created out of nothing. The money in the game now means that it is unlikely that we will ever see the prices of yesteryear. Transfer fees for the likes of Figo, Zidane, Buffon and Crespo were all considered ridiculous but now that money gets you Raheem Sterling. Football is changing in England and we have to adapt to kick on from where we have got ourselves. 5 english teams in the Champions league knockout phase is ridiculous but its only the beginning. Don't be surprised if we see a period of english dominance in Europe for years to come. (Excluding the national side, they will be forever hopeless)

If Van dijk upgrades our defence i don't care how much he will costs the problem is signing someone who doesn't improve our defence no matter his cost.
