    I know, your right. So who's he trying to fool by saying the dynamic had changed. He wanted a move since he got here.

    You see the same thing from the occasional EPL fab that comes on here. Genuinely refuse to believe that when we talk about operating in a budget we're talking about wages that are dwarfed even by the smallest epl team.

    Easy match-up for him there. He'll be delighted seeing some of the diddies like him squaring up to him! :56:

    In fact, their fans are raving about him even more than I thought.

    Apparently he bullied Rondon off the park at one point as well:56:

    Some Southampton fans comment about his debut


    "Final note, Virgil looks like a bit of a Rolls Royce defender. Very, very, very composed on the ball and allowed us to build from the back a * of a lot more successfully than we have been doing this season."

    "Van Dijk looks very good, looks like the Scottish equivalents of Matt Paterson have given him a great grounding"


    "He wasn't really tested too much in a defensive sense, but looked very dominant in the jewels and picked up good positions to cover for players. But the positive about him is his ability on the ball, it was pretty immese. The commentators made the remark that he was the best passer on the pitch - and they're probably not far wrong!"

    "VVD looked at home in his first Prem game which was good to see though there are tougher tests to come. Do like the way he pushes higher up the pitch and is willing to look for a pass. Thought Wanyama also played well so hopefully can put that whole saga behind us as well."

    "VvD looks like he could well be an upgrade on Alderweireld, so a massive positive to offset the drab overall performance."

    "VVD - 7 - solid and flashes of his passing ability. One cross field ball to Tadic was out of this world. Had sweet fa defending to do though."



    Safe to say there aw jizzing about big Djik:smiley-laughing002:

    Van Dijk and Wanyama in the same team.... If only we were capable of keeping our best players, we'd have some team, man :54:
