Virgil van Dijk

[Kenneth]

I visit the site a few times every day but rarely post but this news has brought me out again . I am blown away with the way it has been handled, especially with todays newspapers saying he was going to City and then logging on 10 minutes ago to this news.

Very well done LFC

Fantastic news that we managed to get our target, even if it took 6 months more. Hopefully he lives up to everything we hope for and Klopp and co sees in him. Personally I havn't watched him enough to know if he warrents that big a fee, but I'm just thrilled that we're actually getting our targets and building for the second half of the season and a CL place run in.

Welcome and may you pair exceptionally well with Matip & co.

Moneyball isn't signing players for world record fees but signing players that are good at their job seem a solid strategy to me.

So, who is it that will be eating their hat now then? Hope the ketchup is ready?

Klopp has a good track record since he's arrived so I'm hoping he's got the best fit for what he needs.

Personally, I'm sceptical about Van Djik, he's definitely overpriced at £75m but we're paying a service charge for being dick heads I suppose.

Before his injury last year he was very ropey, I happened to watch about 4/5 saints games beforehand and he was struggling. His injury came before the media started to react to his poor form and during his time out his reputation actually grew.

Hopefully it was just a dip in form and he can recover his form after his injury to what I suspect was a high level before the games I caught, the hype can't exist for no reason.

Between Virgil lacking match fitness and Klopp wanting new signings to learn the ropes, are we likely to see the big Man before May?

I'm over for the City game in a fortnight, so he better be playing and have a great song.

My son's girlfriend was here for the day.

She heard me screaming and shouting like a mad ****er when I heard the news. Thought I was a wee bit mad.

Future daughter in law I wonder!!

Make no mistake (imo ) this is Jurgen more than it is LFC. Sure it's partly the club's allure, but if we had some chump in charge these sorts wouldn't be coming. Players want to play for Klopp, big time.

Chump lol

Definitely down to Klopp, **** this is some signing to be fair.

So happy!

That's About 30m more than we should be paying

It's just monopoly money mate, it's otherwise just sloshing about doing nothing.

Based on?

I'm very excited about this signing, when was the last time we had a genuinely fast and strong central defender?
