    10 or 11 million would be a fair price.

    Let's focus on keeping our best players for now.

    Would be very surprised if we got more for him than big Vic cause Vic proved himself in Europe, anything over 8 million for me would be good business.

    I reckon he will be an Arsenal player next year and we will get close to 15m for him.

    He was patting his own chest, the badge just happened to be there. He'll be gone this summer.

    He's not better than Wanyama and hasn't been as impressive in Europe so unless we do something amazing after xmas I can't see us getting more for him than we got for Big Vic.

    I'd agree I don't think he's better than Wanyama, but it's * close. When you look at what Wanyama's doing in the prem, I can see us getting the £12.5m for Virgil. I'd say Wanyama is rated at about £25m now at Southampton. He's been a revelation there.

    He's better technically than wanyama, no question..

    Also works in our favour that he's already in and around a fashionable national side such as the dutch, rather than Kenya.. Small details like that bump the zero up a notch..

    Wanyama bossed it in europe as he did in the league. Van Dijk is a good player but gets found out every game he played in EL/ CL. Wanyama was a much more talented player IMO!

    Definitely better technically but I wouldn't say he's a better or more 'valuable' player for want of a better word.

    Good point about the dutch squad. Unfortunately it seems he's being overlooked in terms of first team football because he plays for us though, which is a shame.

    Different positions but i wouldn't necessarily say he's a more valuable player either..

    You have to take in to account the set up and team around you, wanyama played with a more solid team and a better team in my opinion and would wanyama have been left roasting many a time this season under our new style? Probably..

    Virgil was still part of a record breaking defence but those 2 together with hooper, ledley etc woulda been at times, unbeatable to break through..

    Tough one..

    If he does move I hope he gets something worthwhile. A team challenging for Europe at least.

    People were saying that Van Dijk was a much better player than Wanyama not so long ago. :smiley-laughing002:

    Ability wise that isn't far off, certainly both top players when on song..

    Wanyama seems to have a better attitude/mentality..
