More and more reports saying VVD is going in Jan, us or city. I imagine if he goes city it will be great business, and he will look at home in a team that has to defendes for 20 minutes a month. If he goes to us, he will be what the majority are seeing. He not the answer - but no one player is for me. Unless there was some quick centre half, excellent at reading the game and sorting out defensive lines out there we are forgetting about, no single player is. Either way, I wouldn't want him to join, especially after the way it was handled, and the money being touted.

You wouldn’t want him to join because of the price? First of all it’s not even your money, so why on earth would you care? Secondly, he’s far better than anything we have, and while he isn’t the total answer, he’d go a long way towards solving out problems.

Jeme, I disagree. Money is money, end of story. Cos it is not my or your money does not change the fact that 70m on such a flawed CB is a huge risk. LFC is a business, run by business and in any business, every financial outlay is studied to see if the ROI is worth the outlay in the long term. That is a fact and whether it is my money or not, that fact will never change.

Cos you want us to sign VVD whatever the cost will not deter the club from weighing the pros and cons of the issue. VVD is not the answer to us at CB, IMO for his flaws and attitude issues are well documented tho he is talented and is a step in the right direct. I'm sorry, 70m for a step in the right direction is madness. At 70m, he needs to be fixing 80% of our defensive issues and his flaws are too much to overlook for that amount.

I disagree with dropping 70m on such a player regardless of his obvious talent. ACB like Khoulibaly (who plays in the same system we play under Klopp at Napoli) would be my option and would NOT be 70m.

He’ll be going to City.

I think the weighing up of whether 70 mill is a risk on a player is well above us as fans pay scale. I can't imagine FSG Contemplating the fans opinion when it comes to the signings. They've taken the risk on Kieta so it will be interesting to see if they also do with VVD. We have never actually put a bid in for VVD so I can't really see that changing now.

I agree he will go to City.
City can afford a £60m punt. He is horribly out of form at the minute but City don’t need to start him straight away and I’m certain Pep will improve him as a player.
Good business for City, too big a risk for us.

Spot on, Ron. City can indeed to drop 60m on a player and move on from him in a couple of years if he does not pan out like they did with Bravo and Ederson. We are in NO position to do that cos we are not being run by owners with bottomless pits of money so we can't be playing the type of game they are playing cos financially, they are on a different planet.
