Liverpool FC Forum

Virgil Van Dijk has chosen Liverpool over City and Chelsea. 60 million and 200,000 per week in wages. We have been begging for the owners to spend big and they have. I personally see him as a fantastic ball playing complete defender. 60 million sounds crazy but it's not my money so I just want us to add quality and he certainly is. He will help our defense to no end.

Increasingly looking like Klopp has pulled this off.

Apparently VVD was impressed by the fact that Klopp has spoken to him direct to convince him to join. According to Radio 5, the deal is £50m with £8m worth of add ons.

If this does get done then finally, FINALLY, our owners are paying for what they want than settling for second or third choices.

Im not even arsed what the prospects are, just we are showing intent and doing things the right way, acting like a big club for first in a very long time.

Maybe Peter Moore is just more efficient than Ayre, we wont really know but who cares. The £60m wont be up front and if we pay £12m a year over 5 years its nothing when your guaranteed a minimum of £150m a year just for being in the Premiership.

Lets build and keep the momentum going, Salah and Lacazette next? 

Mugged by So'ton again.... They must lick their lips when the transfer window opens...

finny thing is they probably have got a good replacement for Van Dijk who will cost them 10 mill.
Who should buy their scouts.

Holy Sh[it], the fee is absolutely ridiculous but fair dues to the lad for choosing us, not many would opt for us over City or Chelsea.

Delighted with this..absolute beast of a defender 

I hope this willingness to spend big dough is not a sign that Coutinho is off 

Oh cheer up Yakka, this is a night for celebration...like singing in the rain  we got Van dyke

This will be great news for the club if he signs but ... who is the source and where is the quote? I will be happier when we have something more concrete

Read somewhere that Sakho might be used to take some of the sting out of that price tag in a player plus cash deal.

One added bonus of signing VVD will be getting Carroll to nudge down that most expensive signing ever list.... second or third if we sign Salah. Third would be a much more respectable position for someone of his.....umm... talent.

Well this thread cursed it.

I see we're still a dream to deal with

amatures mate - starting with FSG and working down to Klopp.

Well Southamoton can feck right off if the reports are true that they want 75 million.

Whilst if we pull this transfer off for between 50-60 million , I applaud the club and klopp for acting like a big club and beating off City and Chelsea, the player himself is never worth 50 million pounds.

£44mil upfront and up to £8mil in add-on such as us winning the league.
