Virgil Van Dijk

The fee is excessive but look at this faux outrage on the BBC article announcing his signing: 

 

Your response on #bbcfootball

 

Tom McCarron: £75m for Van Dijk? Football has officially gone mad; that's 1 Gareth Bale or 2 Mohamed Salah's or 315 Luke Chadwicks

 

David Jennings: Just got to say... £75m... really?!

 

Ajay Yadaz: Liverpool signing Virgil van Dijk for £75m tells us something is wrong with modern football. Amazed, gutted, pathetic.

 

This is the straw that broke the camel's back, lads. We've ruined football.

 

What a bunch of spastics.

What pisses me off, especially from the likes of Shearer (couldn't give a fuck about the fans of other clubs) is that over the past years, Chelsea. City and the Mancs have give out a fucking fortune and will just continue to do so. We are going to get a fortune for Coutinho who we bought for next to fuck all. We have Salah, mane and Bobby who are worth more than we paid, especially Salah in his current form. Yet we pay over the odds for one fucking player and they all jump out of the box and claim we are mad, they really do hate us, mainly because they can conveniently forget the shear amount of money spunked by other clubs. Fuck them.

Spurs/united/arsenal fans etc are all shitting it because they know we’d be leaving them in the dust if only we had a solid back line. Our style of football and attacking play is already up there with the best teams, if Van Dijk can bring leadership and nous, as well as being physically imposing then we become a very scary proposition for anybody.

Out of +ve so cannot add. Thing about Shearer and all geordies really is they think they are as big a club as us. They think when Staverley and the take over goes through that they will be the next Man City. They are utterly deluded.

True, jealousy is all it is at the end of the day, and the fact we may make it harder for the likes of Spurs/Arsenal/and God forbid the red mancs to be a top 4 certainty. Do they bang on about Pogba, Luiz, Linderlof, Lukaku etc, do they fuck. 

 

We desperately need to strengthen in  defensive areas, both at the back and in MF, we have. Hope we get Keita early, Shearer and his bum chums will have a heart attack.

Posted this evening in the Van Dijk thread on the Blue Moon transfer forum. Without any irony whatsoever.

Whenever you have a team on Sky for the big matches you have them getting the big ex legends in as pundits.

Whenever Citeh play all they seem to be able to scrape together are either Richard Dunne or Noel Gallagher.

The prevailing narrative from geniuses like Shearer is we are rubbish at the back and won’t achieve anything because of it. So, we go out and address our weakest area with the best we could possibly sign and make a statement. And all we hear about is how we overpaid?

 

I’m norravin it!

 

If he adds some authority to our back line, and we have every right to expect he will, our team will be that much better. The reds are coming up the hill. The title is beyond us but with a fair wind who knows how far we can go in Europe? We’ve as good a chance as anyone in a knockout competition now that we’re down to it. And next season we will be better placed to have a go for the title as Keita will be here and hopefully we will do something with the goalkeeper too.

It will be nice to have more of an aerial threat on our own corners too. It seems to me that just lately we’ve started whipping a few lovely corners into the danger zone, and a few different players have provided the crosses. Can’t wait until big Virgil nods one in the back of the net. In addition to all he will bring at the back, he will add a few goals for us too, and we’ve not had that sort of threat since Sami.
