It does sound tailor made for Mr Bloom's poker skills, doesn't it.
Groenigen know that player wants out - lots of bluster... but will Tony call their bluff... 10pm of Friday.

Virgil van Dijk - move back on? (Not presently)

So it seems we may need to take our ugly money elsewhere?
Yep. I think you're absolutely right about this. A defender will come in one way or another.

Gus is incredibly stubborn about the players he wants, if we don't get this Dutchman and Gus really wants him, we'll take a player on loan at best and then try again in the Summer. I don't see us permanently signing a 2nd choice.

It appears we will have more competition in the summer than we do at the moment, mainly because of the increased Sky cash. I really think this is a case of now or never for Virgil.
I agree in part. I think it depends on the reason for not getting him. If he is priced outside of our budget, Gus will move on. Although whether its to a loanee or a perm signing remains to be seen.
Personally, I'm still hoping VvD will be the one in the door.

Possibly - but very different to what VVD would bring... I'd view this centre back as a very quick fix, yet Virgil as someone who we could build the team around over many years.

Hopefully! If I were in charge I'd make a new CB a priority. As others have stated on many, many other threads, it's not through dissatisfaction with GG or AEA, but to keep the defence up to speed with the rest of the team. I'd want a powerhouse, (yet ball-playing) CB with pace. I appreciate they're probably thin on the ground for around £1m.

Bizarre Transfer Speculation - Virgil van Dijk
Why?
Calde done a more than capable job against a champions league team....next week we play Sheffield Wednesday not Arsenal.
Hammond can slot in if needed as well.

Prefer Calde in the middle with Spanish Dave at right back tbh

Greers injury was a blessing in disguise, Calde played brilliantly at centre back bringing the ball out and I think right back is Spanish Daves best position...

And Bridcutt could play there, when will Dunk be available again?
