Bizarre Transfer Speculation - Virgil van Dijk
I think we should pull out the stops to get this guy, it sounds like his agent wanted offers from a top division team but the player is happy with the move to us as he recognises its a step up with more money and would put him in the shop window more, so they (the agent and him) would listen to offers but we haven't yet met the Clubs selling price.
He would be an immediate upgrade on either Abd or Greer, where we are struggling most IMO, and we would get out money back at least if not a lot more in the future.
I know our defence has been tight but I really think a more mobile CB would help us get out of our own defence more when we are on the back foot. We also need a CB whose going to bring 5 or so goals a season for the team.
