Reports this morning Eds that we have made a bid for De Vrij after deciding that VVD is too expensive. Any insight or confirmation?

{Ed002's Note - De Vrij is out of contract in the summer and Liverpool can speak to him about signing a pre-contract from next week. I am not aware of any "bid" at this time. Everyone told me that van Dijk has already agreed the move to Liverpool a week or so ago after Liverpool and Southampton agreed terms - didn't it say so on Twitter? And isn't he arriving on the same boat as the many, many other players who are joining next week? Goretzka, Kovacic etc.? I really don't know what to say about van Dijk. I have explained that there would be the need for the Liverpool owners to withdraw their grovelling apology issued to avoid charges from the Premier League in the summer and a loss of face for them. It would however prove to Klopp that his cheating works. You can try the search engine. I have explained Liverpool's interest in DEe Vrij for a long time - but have seemingly been wasting my time - there are other sides also interested in him.}

Van Dijk is nailed on for City, so a big for De Vrij would make sense.

How’s he nailed onto go city? There’s nothing to back this up there in the same boat as us.

We didn't all tell you ed that VVD agreed to sign a week or so go Ed. A few people on here put it on for what ever reason. We are not all on Twitter were I presume the crap was started, I certainly am not so asked if you had heard anything and you said you would need to ask. I hope everyones posts asking about him don't make it on here as I can't be doing with it all again like last summer and im sure you don't want it.

De Vrij looks decent enough to me and I hope he arrives in Jan.

He’s hardly covered himself in glory the first half of this season though has he . I was a huge fan of VVD but can’t say I’d be fussed if he went elsewhere now.

{Ed002's Note - Twitter perhaps?}

The reason that VVD is nailed on for City?
(1) It’s very well known that City want a centre half.
(2) They are very very interested in VVD.
(3) Southampton have apparently decided to cash in on VVD, but are extremely reluctant to deal with us.
(4) City can pay the transfer in full up front which aside from any other issues makes them a far more attractive proposition to Southampton.

It’s obvious to most observers that VVD is highly unlikely to join us.

So he’s nailed on bec you’ve made a load of reasons up😂.

Think it will depend on where the player wants to go. Who he will find a more attractive offer for himself. He might of choose us in the summer but who knows how he feels after our summer debacle.

So even after Eds explanation people still think its a case of the player choosing us!? Get over it people its not happening full stop and no way the club are withdrawing there apology.

Ed’s haven’t said it can’t happen but that we would have to withdraw are apology and mend bridges with Southampton I’m not saying it’s going to happen but to say it’s a done deal either way is ludicrous.

De Vrij would struggle in a team that plays a high line. While he has good anticipation, he is very very slow. I am surprised that Klopp would consider him as an alternative to VVD. They are very different players.
