I'm not buying into the 'no deal' thing until later tonight.

 

There will be plenty of bullshit today, loads of it, people can't wait to announce it's been scuppered and will jump the gun all day.

 

At the end of the day, he's not even training with the first team.  It;'s totally different to Coutinho, he wasn't made to train on his own.

It's ok folks, our defence is fine.  Ignore everything you've seen the last four years, it didn't actually happen.  

 

You see this is the fallacy of you and others argument; that signing van Dijk is the panacea to all our defensive troubles. It's not. It's like carragher said, even with franco baresi there we'd leak goals the way we play.

 

van Dijk isnt going to change the goals conceeded.

Jonny Evans is far better than he gets credit for on here, which is why he played for Man United and has been bid for by other top 6 sides. He's better than Lovren for a start. I wouldn't sign him, mind you

 

I have low self respect and would sign Evans in a heartbeat if there's no-one else coming in. Different class to Lovren

Jonny Evans is not better than Lovren. When will people learn that defenders playing for these ale house teams with their backs to wall all game just repeatedly heading the ball away will not translate to dealing with one on ones when the full back goes up the pitch. He's turgid. He might head a few more corners away but he would get caught out a lot more and doesn't have anywhere near the level of distribution of Lovren or Matip.
